Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence of the investigational TEST product with the marketed REFERENCE products by measurement of Plasma concentrations of Erythromycylamine in plasma and calculation of the bioequivalence parameters from those measurements followed by ANOVA and 90% confidence interval statistical evaluation.
