Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Infections, Respiratory Tract

Intervention: Cephalexin 125 mg/5ml (Drug); Cephalexin 125 mg/5ml (Drug)

Phase: Phase 1

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: GlaxoSmithKline

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
GSK Clinical Trials, Study Director, Affiliation: GlaxoSmithKline

Summary

The objective of this study was to confirm if two formulations of cephalexin suspension are bioequivalent. Test product was Ceporex® (125 mg Cephalexin / 5 ml; GlaxoSmithKline) and reference product Keflex® (125 mg Cephalexin / 5 ml; Eli Lilly). The single dosage was 20 ml of suspension. The study was prospective, open-label, randomized, crossover, single dose, with 02 treatments, 02 sequences and 02 periods, under fasting conditions. The population was composed of 28 healthy volunteers, both genders, adults between 18-50 years. The comparative bioavailability of the two formulations was evaluated based in statistical comparisons of relevant pharmacokinetic parameters, obtained from data of drug concentrations in blood.
