Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The time required for the tablet to disintegrate in the gastrointestinal tract and the location where disintegration occurs will be evaluated using Gamma Scintigraphy. The gastric residence time, which is the duration the tablet remains in the stomach, and the intestinal arrival time, when the tablet reaches the small intestine, will also be assessed. The location of the tablet at different time points will be recorded. Additional imaging at 20 and 24 hours post-dose may be performed if necessary. The time taken for the tablet to transit into the colon will be observed, and imaging may be discontinued once colon transit is achievedTimepoint: 00.00 (within 5 minutes post-dose), 01.00, 02.00, 04.00, 06.00, and 08.00 hours post-dose

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The incidence and severity of adverse events reported by subjects or observed by study personnel during the study will be monitored.Timepoint: at throughoutthe study duration;Clinical examination findings, including assessments of general well-being, will be conductedTimepoint: o min, 4 hours, 8 hours post-dose, and at study completion;Vital signs, including sitting blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature, will be monitoredTimepoint: t check-in, pre-dose, 4 hours, and 8 hours post-dose, and as needed during the study;Laboratory tests such as hematology, biochemistry, serology, and urine analysis will be performed at check-in and prior to end of study to detect any clinically significant abnormalities.Timepoint: O mins and end of the study;Blood samples for estimation of Vitamin B12 levels will be collectedTimepoint: at 2 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, and 48 hours post-dose.
