Tylenol® Caplets

Drug

500 mg tablet of paracetamol

Primary outcomes

  1. Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Last Sampling Time [AUC(0-t)]

    Time frame: 2 days

    AUC(0-t) of paracetamol was calculated using the trapezoidal rule. Blood samples were taken before the administration of the reference/test product (pre-dose) and at 0.250, 0.333, 0.500, 0.667, 0.833, 1.000, 1.250, 1.500, 1.750, 2.000, 4.000, 6.000, 8.000, 12.000 and 16.000 hours (h) after each period.

  2. Area Under the Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity [AUC(0-inf)]

    Time frame: 2 days

    AUC(0-inf) of paracetamol was calculated using the trapezoidal rule. Blood samples were taken before the administration of the reference/test product (pre-dose) and at 0.250, 0.333, 0.500, 0.667, 0.833, 1.000, 1.250, 1.500, 1.750, 2.000, 4.000, 6.000, 8.000, 12.000 and 16.000 h after each period.

  3. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Time frame: 2 days

    Cmax of paracetamol was obtained graphically from the plasma concentration over time profile. Blood samples were taken before the administration of the reference/test product (pre-dose) and at 0.250, 0.333, 0.500, 0.667, 0.833, 1.000, 1.250, 1.500, 1.750, 2.000, 4.000, 6.000, 8.000, 12.000 and 16.000 h after each period.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to Reach Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax)

    Time frame: 2 days

    Tmax of paracetamol was obtained graphically from the plasma concentration over time profile. Blood samples were taken before the administration of the reference/test product (pre-dose) and at 0.250, 0.333, 0.500, 0.667, 0.833, 1.000, 1.250, 1.500, 1.750, 2.000, 4.000, 6.000, 8.000, 12.000 and 16.000 h after each period.
