A study to compare two different forms of the same medicine (deferasirox tablet that is dissolved in liquid form vs. deferasirox film-coated tablet form) to see how much of each type of medicine ends up in the blood.

A randomized, open-label, single center, phase I, cross-over study to evaluate the pharmacokinetic comparability of deferasirox new tablet formulation with the reference dispersible formulation in healthy adult subjects.
