Study aim
-
to compare plasma concentration of losartan hydrochlorothiazide tab manufactured by Alborz Darou versus Hyzaar manufactured by Merck
-
Design
-
A randomized, double blind, single-dose, crossover study
is conducted to compare the pharmacokinetic of
losartan-hydrochlorothiazide 50/12.5 mg Alborz Darou (test) and Hyzaar® tablet manufactured by Merck in 24 healthy adults volunteers under fasting condition. For randomization, volunteers are divided into two groups using the RAND function of Excel software, and they are coded . Depending on the code, they receive one of the test and reference drugs
-
Settings and conduct
-
One day before the study, the test and reference tablets, which are completely similar in appearance, are packed in a disposable container .
Volunteers come to the Khorazmi plasma center in Islamshahr, A single dose of one tablet of test or reference drug is administered to volunteers with 240 ml water and blood samples are taken at specified time, and then samples are transferred to the -20 freezer. Since samples are coded, the analyzer does not know which sample is analysed. so this study is double blinded.
