An Investigation Of The Absorption And Pharmacokinetics Of Multiple Doses Of Two Controlled Release Pregabalin Tablets As Compared To Multiple Doses Of The Immediate Release Pregabalin Capsule In Healthy Volunteers

An Open-Label, Multiple-Dose, Randomized, 3-Way Crossover Study In Healthy Volunteers To Determine The Steady-State Pharmacokinetics Of The 82.5 Mg And 165 Mg Dose Strengths Of Pregabalin Controlled Release Formulations Administered Following An Evening Meal And 75 Mg Of The Immediate Release Formulation Administered Twice Daily

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to 1) evaluate the extent of absorption of multiple doses of two pregabalin controlled release tablets as compared to multiple doses of the pregabalin immediate release capsule, 2) evaluate the pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of two pregabalin controlled release tablets as compared to multiple doses of pregabalin immediate release capsule and 3) evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of two pregabalin controlled release tablets as compared to multiple doses of the pregabalin immediate release capsule.
