Brief summary

The study aimed for: 1. Comparative assessment of pharmacokinetic parameters and bioequivalence of the drug Doxylamine + Pyridoxine, enteric-soluble film-coated tablets, 10 mg + 10 mg (Valenta Pharm JSC, Russia), and Diclectin, delayed-release tablets, 10 mg + 10 mg (registrant: Tzamal Bio-Pharma, Israel, manufacturer: Duchesnay Inc, Canada), in healthy volunteers in fasted conditions. 2. Comparative evaluation of the safety of the drug Doxylamine + Pyridoxine, enteric-soluble film-coated tablets, 10 mg + 10 mg (Valenta Pharm JSK, Russia), and Diclectin, delayed-release tablets, 10 mg + 10 mg (registrant: Tzamal Bio-Pharma, Israel, manufacturer: Duchesnay Inc, Canada), based on the analysis of adverse events (AEs).
