Evaluation of Individual Bioequivalence of Gabasandoz® Relative to Neurontin® in Healthy Volunteers

Participant gender:
All
Summary
The NO SWITCH list is based on the hypothesis that the pharmacokinetic differences between different batches of one medicines are smaller than the pharmacokinetic differences between two medicines (from a different manufacturer, e.g. brand versus generic medicine). The aim of this study is to investigate the hypothesis using gabapentin as test product. Therefore, the first objective of this study is to investigate the individual bioequivalence - or switchability - of Gabasandoz® 800 mg relative to Neurontin 800 mg®. The second objective is to investigate the individual bioequivalence between two different batches of the same medicine, for Gabasandoz® 800 mg and Neurontin® 800 mg.
