Comparison of the relative bioavailability of Ronak and Sanofi tablet formulations of sodium valproate/valproic acid 500 mg in 24 healthy adult volunteers under fasting conditions
The study aims to compare the bioequivalence of Rahakin® (sodium valproate/valproic acid 500 mg) tablets under fasting conditions
Design
This randomized, single-dose, two-way, crossover study is conducted to compare the pharmacokinetics of valproate and Depakin® tablets in 24 healthy adult volunteers. Volunteers will be sorted and receive a number from 1 to 24. In the first phase of the study, 12 volunteers will receive valproate manufactured by Ronak and the remaining 12 volunteers will receive Depakin® produced by Sanofi company. The administered drugs will be replaced to another group in the second phase of the study.
Settings and conduct
The dose administration and subsequent sample collection will be performed in Motahhari hospital (Gonbade Kavous, Iran).
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: aged 18-55 years; subject available for the entire study period; willingness to adhere to protocol requirements as evidenced by written informed consent; good health at screening. Exclusion criteria: History of use of any drug; hypersensitivity or intolerance; significant history or current evidence of chronic disease; receipt of any drug as part of a research study within 30 days prior to the present study.
Intervention groups
First intervention group: A single 500 mg oral dose of valproate (1 tablet) manufactured by Ronak company to 12 subjects. Second intervention group: A single 500 mg oral dose of Depakin (1 tablet) manufactured by Sanofi company to 12 subjects. Since in this study, the volunteers will receive both test and reference drugs, each volunteer will act as his own control.
