Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
People in the mentioned age group are invited to participate through the advertisement. People are then checked for health and healthy volunteers are identified. Each candidate is assigned a number from 1 to 24. The numbers are written on a plastic ball, poured into a container, and mixed. The balls are then removed randomly from the container. The first 12 no.s are considered as (first sequence: Ronak Pharm's medicine ) and the second 12 no.s are considered as (second sequence: originator brand recipient). The volunteers don't have any information about taking the test drug or brand drug
