  Description
Test (Trazodone Contramid® OAD) First

Trazodone Contramid® OAD (Once-A-Day) test product (300 mg tablet administered once daily) dosed in first treatment phase followed by Trazodone IR (Apotex Corp.) reference product (100 mg tablet administered thrice daily) dosed in the second treatment phase. A drug-free period of 7 calendar days separated the last administration of study medication in Phase 1 and the first administration of study medication in Phase 2.

IR = Immediate Release.

Reference (Trazodone IR [Apotex Corp.]) First

Trazodone IR (Apotex Corp.) reference product (100 mg tablet administered thrice daily) dosed in first treatment phase followed by Trazodone Contramid® OAD (Once-A-Day) test product (300 mg tablet administered once daily) dosed in the second treatment phase. A drug-free period of 7 calendar days separated the last administration of study medication in Phase 1 and the first administration of study medication in Phase 2.

IR = Immediate Release.
