• History of gastrointestinal surgery (except appendectomy at least 1 year before screening).
• Diseases/conditions that the investigator believes may affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the study medication.
• Acute infectious disease less than 4 weeks prior to screening.
• Taking drugs that have a significant effect on hemodynamics and drugs that affect liver function (barbiturates, benzodiazepines, omeprazole, cimetidine, etc.) for less than one month before screening.
• Regular intake of drugs less than 2 weeks before screening and one-time intake of drugs less than 7 days before screening.

• Taking more than 10 units of alcohol (1 unit of alcohol is equivalent to 330 ml of beer, 150 ml of wine, or 40 ml of spirits) in the week in the last month before inclusion in the study or anamnestic evidence of alcoholism, drug abuse, or medicine abuse.
• Smoking.
• Positive blood tests for antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 and 2, antibodies to Treponema pallidum antigens, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), antibodies to hepatitis C virus antigens, laboratory examination of biomaterial (nasopharyngeal swab) for SARS-Cov-2 RNA (COVID-19).

• Scheduling an inpatient stay during the study period, for any reason other than hospitalization required by this protocol.
• Failure or inability to comply with protocol requirements, perform protocol-prescribed procedures, diet, and activity regimen.
• Observance of a religious fast or special diet (e.g., vegetarian, vegan).
• Other conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, preclude a volunteer from enrolling in the study or may result in early withdrawal from the study, including special lifestyles (night work, extreme physical activity).

Withdrawal criteria:

• The volunteer's refusal to further participate in the study.
• Failure of the volunteer to comply with the rules of participation in the study (skipping study procedures, independent use of drugs prohibited in the study, violation of dietary and lifestyle restrictions, etc.).

• Missing 2 or more consecutive blood samples or 3 or more blood samples during one Period of the pharmacokinetic portion of the study.
• Occurrence of vomiting/diarrhea within 24 h of study drug administration (the choice of time interval is based on the tmax parameter value for doxylamine and pyridoxal-5-phosphate not exceeding 7.2 ± 1.9 and 11.7 ± 5.3 h, respectively, according to the manufacturer of the reference drug).
• Positive urine test for narcotic substances and potent drugs.
• Positive breath alcohol vapor test.
• A positive pregnancy test.
• Positive test for SARS-Cov-2 RNA (COVID-19);
