Study Description

Brief Summary:

The objective of this study is to compare the relative bioavailability of cefadroxil 500 mg capsules (manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA) with that of DURICEF® 500 mg capsules (manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company) when dosed (1 x 500 mg capsules) in normal healthy non-smoking male and female subjects under fasting conditions.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Cmax (Maximum Observed Concentration) [ Time Frame: Blood samples collected over a 12 hour period ]
   Bioequivalence based on Cmax.
2. AUC0-t (Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Time of Last Measurable Concentration) [ Time Frame: Blood samples collected over a 12 hour period. ]
   Bioequivalence based on AUC0-t.
3. AUC0-inf (Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity) [ Time Frame: Blood samples collected over a 12 hour period. ]
   Bioequivalence based on AUC0-inf.
