Volunteers have weight above than 50 kg. 50% of the volunteers recruited are female and 50% male. There are no restrictions regarding the ethnic group.

The relative bioavailability of the formulations after oral administration in steady state will be evaluated based on statistical comparisons of relevant pharmacokinetic parameters obtained from data of drug concentration in blood. The concentration of Paroxetine hydrochloride (controlled release) will be measured by an appropriate analytical method and valid after the drug administration.The Pharmacokinetic samples will be collected at steady state in each period after standardized meals. The safety assessment will include evaluation and clinical monitoring, vital signs monitoring, ECG, and laboratory tests. Adverse events will be monitored throughout the study. ;
