Detailed description

Single-centre, open-label, randomised, two-way crossover study in 28 healthy volunteers. The study consisted of two consecutive single-dose treatment periods separated by a washout period of 14 days or more. A total of twenty-eight (28) healthy volunteers received a single dose of 50 mg OPC, orally.

Exclusion criteria
