Brief summary
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the bioequivalence of a new formulation of ibuprofen 200 mg/5 mL oral suspension vs. the marketed reference product MOMENT 200 mg coated tablet, when administered under fasting conditions as single oral dose to healthy male and female volunteers, in two consecutive study periods.

Full comprehension: ability to comprehend the full nature and purpose of the study, including possible risks and side effects; ability to co-operate with the investigator and to comply with the requirements of the entire study 6. Contraception and fertility (females only): females of child-bearing potential must be using at least one of the following reliable methods of contraception: 1. Hormonal oral, implantable, transdermal, or injectable contraceptives for at least 2 months before the screening visit 2. A non-hormonal intrauterine device \[IUD\] or female condom with spermicide or contraceptive sponge with spermicide or diaphragm with spermicide or cervical cap with spermicide for at least 2 months before the screening visit 3. A male sexual partner who agrees to use a male condom with spermicide 4. A sterile sexual partner Female participants of non-child-bearing potential or in post-menopausal status for at least 1 year will be admitted. For all female subjects, pregnancy test result must be negative at screening and day -1.
Exclusion criteria
1. Electrocardiogram (12-leads, supine position): clinically significant abnormalities 2. Physical findings: clinically significant abnormal physical findings which could interfere with the objectives of the study 3. Laboratory analyses: clinically significant abnormal laboratory values indicative of physical illness 4. Allergy: ascertained or presumptive hypersensitivity to the active principle and/or formulations' ingredients or related drugs, namely non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs); history of anaphylaxis to drugs or allergic reactions in general, which the investigator considers may affect the outcome of the study 5. Diseases: history of significant renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal (in particular gastroduodenal ulcer and bleeding), cardiovascular, respiratory (in particular asthma), skin, haematological, endocrine or neurological diseases that may interfere with the aim of the study 6. Medications: medications, including over the counter (OTC) (in particular ibuprofen) medications and herbal products for 2 weeks before the start of the study. Hormonal contraceptives for females will be allowed 7. Investigative drug studies: participation in the evaluation of any investigational product for 3 months before this study.
