Healthy Male Volunteers
Conditions
Brief summary
To investigate the Racecadotril pharmacokinetic linearity after single oral administration of 10, 30 and 60 mg as a suspension. To evaluate the comparative bioavailability of the new Racecadotril formulation (suspension) versus the reference sachet formulation (granules)
Detailed description
This is a single center, open-label, single oral dose, 4-period cross-over study to assess the bioequivalence of a new formulation (suspension) in healthy male volunteers.
Interventions
Racecadotril suspension at 10, 30 and 60mg. Single oral dose.
Racecadotril granules at 60mg. Single oral dose.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Healthy male, * 18 to 45 years old, * be certified as normal by a comprehensive clinical assessment (detailed medical history and a complete physical examination), arterial blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), an ECG and laboratory investigations (haematological, blood chemistry tests, urinalysis), the results of which are within the normal range and/ or judged by the investigator as clinically acceptable for healthy subjects, * Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18 and 28 kg/m2.
Exclusion criteria
* History of cardiovascular, pulmonary gastro-intestinal, hepatic, renal, metabolic, haematological, neurological, psychiatric, systemic, or infectious disease. * Any other condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the subject or impact the validity of the study results. * Subject has used any drug including OTC products two weeks before the scheduled administration of study drug, except paracetamol (maximum 1g/day).
