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. Each number is written on plastic ball and poured into a container and mixed. The balls are then taken out randomly from the container. The odd numbers are considered as first sequence: Alborz Zagros's medicine and the pair numbers are considered as second sequence: originator brand recipient. The volunteers don't have any information about taking the test drug or brand drug
