In order to randomly assign individuals to two groups, 24 cards numbered 1 to 24 in sealed envelopes placed in random order will be used. Each volunteer will pick an envelope after entering the study, and those who picked numbers 1-12 will be placed in group A and those who picked numbers 13-24 will be placed in group B. Volunteers in group A will receive the Iranian drug and volunteers in group B will receive the brand drug, and blood will be drawn at specific intervals according to a specific protocol. After a 2-week cleansing period, cross-over, those who have taken the Iranian drug will take the Brand drug and those who have taken the foreign drug will take the Iranian drug, and blood will be drawn again at different intervals. The blood draw results of each person in the second series of blood draws will be compared with their own blood draw results in the first round.
