What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To compare bioavailability as measured by Area under the Curve in both fed and fasted states

    Time frame: Visit 1 through Visit 3 (Day 13)

  2. To assess the effect of food on extent and rate of paracetamol absorption as measured by Area Under the Curve and Cmax

    Time frame: Visit 1 through Visit 3 (Day 13)

Secondary outcomes

  1. To assess descriptive pharmacokinetic characteristics (Tmax, T1/2, AUC, Cmax)

    Time frame: Visit 1 through Visit 3 (Day 13)
