About

This two-period cross-over study will evaluate bioequivalence of GR37547 (ciprofloxacin 500 mg) tablet versus ciprofloxacin 500 mg reference tablet in healthy adult subjects under fasting conditions. Subjects will receive Treatment A (GR37547 tablet) and Treatment B (ciprofloxacin reference tablet) in crossover manner, separated by a washout period of at least 7 days and not more than 14 days. The total duration of study for each subject will be approximately 5-7 weeks. This study will enroll approximately 26 healthy adult subjects at a single center.

Enrollment: 26 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 60 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

• Fasting blood glucose >=7 millimoles (mmol)/liter (L).

• Past or intended use of over-the-counter or prescription medication including herbal medications, within 14 days prior to dosing unless, in the opinion of the investigator and sponsor, the medication will not interfere with the study.
