      An AE is the development of an undesirable medical condition or the deterioration of a pre-existing medical condition following or during exposure to a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered causally related to the product. The term AE is used generally to include any AE whether serious or non-serious. A serious AE (SAE) is an AE that fulfills one or more of the following criteria: results in death, is immediately life-threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions; is a congenital abnormality or birth defect; is an important medical event that may jeopardize the participant or may require medical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

    7. Mean Change From Baseline for Vital Signs of Supine Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic BP (DBP). [Day 1 (2, 4 hours post-dose) and Day 2 (24 hours post-dose).]

      The following variables were collected after the participants had rested in the supine position for at least 5 minutes: SBP and DBP.

    8. Mean Change From Baseline for Vital Signs in Supine Pulse Rate. [Day 1 (2, 4 hours post-dose) and Day 2 (24 hours post-dose).]

      Vital signs were collected after the participant has rested in the supine position for at least 5 minutes.

    9. Participants With Significant Findings in 12-Lead Electrocardiography (ECG). [At screening and at follow-up.]

      A 12-lead ECG was obtained after the participant rested in supine position for at least 10 minutes. The study physician was to judge the overall interpretation as normal or abnormal. If abnormal, it was decided as to whether or not the abnormality was clinically significant and the reason for the abnormality was recorded.

    10. Participants With Clinically Significant Findings in Hematology, Clinical Chemistry and Urinalysis. [At screening, at admission on Day -1 to each treatment period and at follow-up.]

      Participants were assessed through each laboratory variables for any significant abnormalities. Hematology assessments included white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and others. Clinical chemistry assessment included testing levels of sodium, potassium, urea, creatinine, albumin, calcium, glucose (fasting) and others. Urinalysis assessment included glucose, protein, blood and microscopy (if positive for blood or protein).
