Brief summary

Main research purpose To investigate the pharmacokinetics of the test preparation azithromycin capsule and the reference preparation azithromycin capsule (Sumamed®) in Chinese healthy adult subjects by single oral administration in fasting state, and to evaluate the bioequivalence of the two preparations by oral administration in fasting state. Secondary research purpose To investigate the safety of the test preparation azithromycin capsule and the reference preparation Sumamed® in healthy subjects.

Detailed description

The fasting trial was designed with single-center, open, randomized, single-dose, two-cycle, two-sequence and cross-dosing trials.
