-
The subject of this biopharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic study is the location of Tehran Shimi Company located in Tehran. The study was blinded to the study participants by removing the drugs from the original package and placing the test and reference drugs in the same package, and the participants were not aware of the type of drug they were taking. The crossover design is such that Iranian medicine will be prescribed to the first group in the first week and to the second group in the second week.
