In-vivo Bioequivalence Study of Azithromycin 500 mg Capsules of The Test Drug (ZITHROSAD 500 mg Cap., Sajjad Darou, Iran) in Compared with The Reference Drug (ZITHROMAX® 500 mg. Cap. Pfizer, Ireland) In Iranian Healthy Volunteers
In-vivo Bioequivalence Study of Azithromycin 500 mg Capsules of The Test Drug (ZITHROSAD 500 mg Cap., Sajjad Darou, Iran) in Compared with The Reference Drug (ZITHROMAX® 500 mg. Cap. Pfizer, Ireland) In Iranian Healthy Volunteers
Design
Bioequivalence study, crossover, single-blinded, 24 healthy volunteers. Simple randomization was used for randomization
Settings and conduct
The study is a single-blinded, cross-over and fasting, and on two series of healthy volunteers. The study will be done in two periods (96h). The interval between these two periods is two week. The candidates were divided into two groups in the first round of the study. the first group receives a test tablet and the second group receives a brand tablet. Blood samples are collected immediately before and after drug administration by volunteers. Then, drug extraction is done and samples are ready for analysis. These steps are performed in Radin Laboratory in Tabriz.

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. The numbers are written on a plastic ball and poured into a container and mixed. The balls are then removed randomly from the container. The first 12 no.s are considered as (first sequence:Sajjad Darou, Iran medicine ) and the second 12 no.s are considered as (first sequence: originator brand recipient). The volunteers don't have any information about taking the test drug or brand drug
