The purpose of this trial is to assess the bioequivalence (BE) of new 600 milligram (mg) Cisticid tablet (Test) versus 600 mg Biltricide tablets (Reference) at a dose of 1200 mg in healthy male participants. Praziquantel (PZQ) is the active ingredient for Cisticid and Biltricide tablets.

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. The term TEAE is defined as AEs starting or worsening after the first intake of the study drug. TEAEs included both Serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs.
Time frame: Baseline up to Day 29
Number of participants with clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory parameters were reported. Laboratory investigation included hematology, biochemistry, urinalysis and coagulation.
Time frame: Baseline up to Day 29
Number of participants with clinically significant abnormalities in vital signs were reported. Vital signs included body temperature, systolic / diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate.
Time frame: Baseline up to Day 29
Number of participants with clinically significant abnormalities in 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) were reported. The 12-lead ECGs were recorded after the participants have rested for at least 5 minutes in supine position.
