Pharmacodynamic Equivalence Study Of Orlistat Capsules 60 mg

An Randomized, Three-treatment, Three-period, Three-sequence, Multiple Dose, Crossover, Comparative Pharmacodynamic Equivalence Study Of Orlistat Capsules 60 mg In Normal, Healthy, Adult, Human Subjects Under Fed Conditions

The study will start with a run-in period with controlled diet and no drug for 5 consecutive days. This is to accustom the subjects to the standardized diet and also to determine baseline fecal fat excretion.

After run-in period, subjects will be randomized to receive either test or reference orlistat formulations (60 mg or 120 mg) thrice daily under fed conditions for 10 consecutive days.
