-
Adequate blood and urine samples should be obtained within 28 days before beginning of the first period and at the end of the trial for clinical laboratory measurements.
-
Clinical laboratory measurements will include the hematology, clinical chemistry, urine analysis, HIV screening, Hepatitis B & C, drugs of abuse scan

Subjects with a significant recent history of chronic alcohol consumption or drug addiction (past two years), or serious gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic or cardio- vascular disease, tuberculosis, epilepsy, asthma (past five years), diabetes, psychosis or glaucoma will not be eligible for this study.
-
Subjects whose clinical laboratory test values are outside the reference range may be retested at the discretion of the clinical investigator. If the clinical values are outside the range on retesting, the subject will not be eligible to participate in the study unless the clinical investigator deems the result to not be significant.
-
Subjects who have a history of allergic responses to the class of drug being tested will be excluded from the study
-
All subjects will have urine staples assayed for the presence of drugs of abuse as per of the clinical laboratory screening procedures and at each dosing period check-in. Subjects found to have urine concentrations of any of the tested drugs will not be allowed to participate.
-
Subjects should not have donated blood and/or plasma for at least thirty (30) days prior to the first dosing of the study.
-
Subjects who have taken any investigational drug within thirty (30) days prior to the first dosing of the study will not be allowed to participate
-
Female subjects who are pregnant, breast-feeding, or who are likely to become pregnant during the study will not be allowed to participate.
