Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age: 18 years and older

2. Sex: Male and/or non-pregnant, non-lactating female a. Women of childbearing potential
must have a negative serum (β-HCG) pregnancy test performed within 21 days prior to
the start of the study and on the evening prior to each dose administration. If dosing
is scheduled on Sunday or Monday, serum may be collected for the HCG pregnancy test
within 48 hours prior to dosing for each study period. An additional serum (β-HCG)
pregnancy test will be performed upon completion of the study. b. Women must practice
abstinence or use an acceptable form of contraception throughout the duration of the
study. No hormonal contraceptives or hormonal replacement therapies are permitted in
this study. Acceptable forms of contraception include the following: 1) intrauterine

place during the study period, or 2) barrier methods containing or used in conjunction
with a spermicidal agent, or 3) surgical sterilization c. Women will not be considered
of childbearing potential if one of the following is reported and documented on the
medical history: 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 d. During the course of the
study, from study screen until study exit - including the washout period, all men and
women of childbearing potential must use a spermicide containing barrier method of
contraception in addition to their current contraceptive method. This advice should be
documented in the informed consent form.

deviation from the Guide to Clinically Relevant Abnormalities (See Part II
ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF BIOEQUIVALENCE PROTOCOLS). b. Abnormal and clinically
relevant ECG tracing.
