Conditions
Brief summary
This is a formulation feasibility study to to compare relative bioavailability of indacaterol and glycopyrronium after administration of single doses of 3 Easyhaler test products and Ultibro Breezhaler. The study treatments will be administered with concomitant oral charcoal to block absorption via gastrointestinal tract and to assess pulmonary absorption only.
Interventions
In each period, subjects receive single dose of indacaterol/glycopyrronium consisting of 2 inhaled doses via Easyhaler or 2 capsules inhaled via Ultibro Breezhaler. In addition to study treatments, activated charcoal will be administered on each study period before and after study drug administration.
