Protocol summary

Study aim
This study was performed to compare the pharmacokinetics and invivo parameters of 10 mg Escitalopram tablet formulation as a test product with Cipralex® 10 mg tablet formulation as a reference product and to evaluate the biocompatibility of these two formulations.
Design
Randomized, single-dose, crossover comparative bioequivalence study of Escitalopram 10 mg F.C. tablets of Actoverco and Lundbeck Limited Co. in 18 healthy male under fasting conditions.
Settings and conduct
