Gender(s): Both.
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
- 1. Age: 18 years and older. 2. Sex: Male and/or non-pregnant, non-lactating female.
1. Women of childbearing potential must have negative serum beta human chorionic
gonadotropin (beta-HCG) pregnancy tests performed within 14 days prior to the
start of the study and on the evening prior to each dose administration. If
dosing is scheduled on weekends, the HCG pregnancy test should be given within
48 hours prior to dosing of each study period. An additional serum (beta-HCG)
pregnancy test will be performed upon completion of the study.

1. postmenopausal with an absence of menses for at least one (1) year, or
2. bilateral oophorectomy with or without a hysterectomy and an absence of
bleeding for at least 6 months, or
3. total hysterectomy
4. During the course of the study, from study screen until study exit, all men and
women of childbearing potential must use a spermicide-containing barrier method
of contraception in addition to their current contraceptive device. This
requirement should be documented in the informed consent form.
3. Weight: At least 60 kg (132 lbs) for men and 48 kg (106 lbs) for women and
all subjects within 15% of Ideal Body Weight (IBW), as referenced by the Table
of "Desirable Weights of Adults" Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, 1999 (See
Part II ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF BIOEQUIVALENCE PROTOCOLS).
4. All subjects should be judged normal and healthy during a pre-study medical
evaluation (physical examination, laboratory evaluation, hepatitis B and
hepatitis C tests, HIV test, 12-lead ECG, and urine drug screen including
amphetamine, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoid, cocaine, opiates,
phencyclidine, and methadone) performed within 14 days of the initial dose of
study medication.
Exclusion Criteria:
- 1. Institutionalized subjects will not be used. 2. Social Habits:
1. Use of any tobacco products within one year prior to dosing.
2. Ingestion of any alcoholic, caffeine- or xanthine-containing food or beverage

prior to the initial dose of study medication.
2. Use of any hormonal contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy within 3
months prior to study medication dosing.
3. Use of any medication known to alter hepatic enzyme activity within 28 days
prior to the initial dose of study medication.
4. Diseases:
1. History of any significant cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, pulmonary,
hematologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, neurologic
disease.
2. Acute illness at the time of either the pre-study medical evaluation or dosing.
3. A positive HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C test. 5. Abnormal and clinically
significant laboratory test results:
1. Clinically significant deviation from the Guide to Clinically Relevant
Abnormalities (See Part II ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF BIOEQUIVALENCE PROTOCOLS).
2. Abnormal and clinically relevant ECG tracing. 6. Donation or loss of a
significant volume of blood or plasma (> 450 mL) within 28 days prior to the
initial dose of study medication.
7. Subjects who have received an investigational drug within 30 days prior to
the initial dose of study medication.
8. Allergy or hypersensitivity to azithromycin, any of the inactive ingredients,
