What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Bioequivalence of Test Product (T) Vs Reference Product (R) Pharmacokinetic parameters: Cmax (Maximum plasma concentration)	Cmax (Maximum plasma concentration)	Till 72 hours post dose after each dosing
Bioequivalence of Test Product (T) Vs Reference Product (R) Pharmacokinetic Parameters: AUC0-t (area under the curve)	AUC0-t (area under the curve)	Till 72 hours post dose after each dosing

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Safety and tolerability of Test Product (T) and the Reference Product (R) Serious adverse events	Incidences of Serious Adverse events	Till 30 days since last dosing period
Safety and tolerability of Test Product (T) and the Reference Product (R) Systolic and diastolic blood pressure	Vital Signs assessment in terms of: Systolic and diastolic blood pressure measured as mm of Hg.	Till 72 hours post dose after each dosing
Safety and tolerability of Test Product (T) and the Reference Product (R) Pulse rate	Vital Signs assessment in terms of: Pulse rate measured as bpm.	Till 72 hours post dose after each dosing
Safety and tolerability of Test Product (T) and the Reference Product (R) Oral temperature	Vital Signs assessment in terms of: Oral temperature measured as degree fahrenheit (°F).	Till 72 hours post dose after each dosing
Safety and tolerability of Test Product (T) and the Reference Product (R) Wellbeing assessment: Wellbeing assessment by questioning the subjects about their health status.	Wellbeing assessment will be done as per the study site's applicable standard operating procedure, initially subjects wellbeing is recorded in "wellbeing form" by asking general questions like "How do you feel?", how are you feeling since last asked?. Further, overall subject response is then transcribed into the subject study CRF as below: Is overall wellbeing of the Volunteer Satisfactory? Satisfactory / Not satisfactory If it is not satisfactory, the same is treated as AE and is recorded in applicable AE form as per process.	Till 72 hours post dose after each dosing
Safety and tolerability of Test Product (T) and the Reference Product (R) adverse events	Incidences of adverse events	Till 21 days from AE occurence
Safety and tolerability of Test Product (T) and the Reference Product (R) abnormal laboratory values	No of subjects with abnormal laboratory values. Lab values for hematology, biochemistry and urine analysis	Till 21 days from AE occurence
