Participant flow

Participants by arm

ArmCount
All Subjects
Subjects each received two treatments which were each administered orally in the fasted state after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. and separated by a washout period of 7 days. The treatments were: * New MR (Test): Tamsulosin 0.4mg modified release (MR) capsule. * Registered MR (Reference) : Tamsulosin 0.4mg capsule.
