1. Healthy volunteers of both genders, aged ≥18 and ≤60 years.
2. Subjects with Body Mass Index (ΒΜΙ) ≥18.5 and <30.0 kg/m2.
3. Healthy volunteers are declared healthy based on medical history, physical examination, ECG, pulmonary function test (a forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) >=80% of the predicted normal value), and clinical laboratory values within the laboratory stated normal range; if not within this range, they must be without any clinical significance according to the Investigator.

4. Clinically significant history or presence of chronic bronchitis, emphysema,asthma or any other lung disease.
5. History or presence of pulmonary tuberculosis.
6. Viral or bacterial, upper or lower respiratory tract infection or sinus or middle ear infection within 4 weeks prior to the screening visit.
7. History or presence of significant cardiovascular, endocrinal, neurologic, immunological, psychiatric or metabolic disease.
8. History of significant alcohol or drug abuse within one year prior to the screening visit.
9. Regular use of alcohol within six months prior to screening visit (more than 14 alcohol units per week) [1Unit =150 ml of wine, 360 ml of beer, or 45 ml of 40% alcohol].

14. Use of soft drugs (such as marijuana) within three months prior to screening or hard drugs such as crack, cocaine or heroin within one year prior to screening visit
15. Intake of any drugs known to induce or inhibit hepatic drug metabolism (examples of inducers are barbiturates, carbamazepine, phenytoin, glucocorticoids, rifampin/rifabutin; examples of inhibitors are, erythromycin, ketoconazole, indinavir, cobicistat-containing products) within one month prior to administration of the study medication. Under these circumstances, subject inclusion will be judged by the principal investigator.
16. History of peptic ulcer, other gastrointestinal disorders (e.g. chronic diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome) or unresolved gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. diarrhea, vomiting) or significant hepatic, renal or other condition that is known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the drug.
17. Use of oral or parenteral corticosteroids in the previous four 4 weeks
18. Eye disorders especially Glaucoma (or a family history of glaucoma)
19. Use of prescription medication (within 14 days prior to the first administration of study medication) or over-the-counter (OTC) products (including food supplements vitamins and herbal supplements) within one week (7 days) prior to the first administration of study medication, except for topical products without systematic absorption. Contraceptives are allowed.
20. Vaccination for prophylaxis from seasonal flu or any other vaccination within seven days prior to administration
21. History of allergy to any food, intolerance or special diet, that in the opinion of the medical sub-investigator could contraindicate the subject's participation in the study.
22. A depot injection or an implant of any drug (except hormonal contraceptives) within 3 months prior to treatment administration.
23. Donation of plasma (500 ml) within 7 days prior to treatment administration.
24. Donation of whole blood or loss of whole blood ≥ 500 ml prior to administration of the study medication within 30 days prior to treatment administration.
