| Abstract | BACKGROUND: In recent years, the use of generic drugs has been increasing due to their effectiveness and to the increasing variety of drugs that are now available in generic formulations. Although several generic oral formulations of azithromycin are available in China, information concerning the bioavailability of these formulations in the Chinese population is unavailable. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the bioequivalence and tolerability of a single oral dose of 2 commercial brands of 500-mg azithromycin granules in healthy Han Chinese volunteers. METHODS: In a randomized, open-label, 2-period crossover study, the bioequivalence and tolerability of 2 commercial formulations of azithromycin granules (test: Dayin Ocean Biochemical Company Ltd., Shandong, China; reference: Taiyang Drug Company Ltd., Beijing, China) were compared in healthy adult Han Chinese volunteers. Both the test and the reference formulations were administered to each subject. The 2 treatment phases were separated by a 3-week washout period. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine plasma drug concentrations. The formulations were considered bioequivalent if the natural log-transformed ratios of Cmax and AUC were within the predetermined equivalence range of 70% to 143% and 80% to 125%, respectively, and if P ≤ 0.05 for the 90% CIs. RESULTS: Twenty-four male Han Chinese volunteers (mean [SD] age, 21.0 [2.0] years [range, 18-25 years]; mean [SD] weight, 67.6 [5.6] kg [range, 56-81 kg]; mean [SD] height, 176.0 [5.0] cm [range, 165-188 cm]) were enrolled. Twenty-two subjects completed the study, with 2 withdrawing for personal reasons. No period or sequence effect was observed. The 90% CIs for the corresponding ratios of Cmax, AUC from hour 0 to time t, and AUC from hour 0 to any time point were 85.9 to 103.9, 83.6 to 106.0, and 84.7 to 105.9 (in the 2 one-sided t tests; all, P < 0.05), respectively. Similar results were found in data without a logarithmic transformation. There were no significant differences in the plasma concentration-time curves of the test and reference formulations. No adverse events were reported by the subjects or revealed by clinical or laboratory tests. CONCLUSIONS: Single oral doses of 2 commercial brands of azithromycin granules (500 mg) were equivalent with regard to the rate and extent of absorption among these healthy Han Chinese volunteers. Both formulations were well tolerated. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
