Brief Summary

This study was conducted to compare the rate and extent of absorption of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide following oral administration as a fixed dose combination tablet and concomitant administration of the individual drugs under fasting conditions in healthy Egyptian subjects. The study was extended to investigate any potential reaction between VAL and HCT.

Conditions

Healthy Normotensive Participants

Keywords

Fixed dose combination; Pharmacokinetics; Valsartan; Hydrochlorothiazide

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Tolerability

  Tolerability was assessed based on changes in vital signs (temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and heart rate), measured before dosing in each period and approximately every 4 hours thereafter, and laboratory tests (hematology, biochemistry, liver function, and urinalysis), and performed at baseline and at the end of the study. In addition, a physician questioned volunteers about any adverse events occurring during the study, addressed them as necessary, and recorded them on the appropriate form. This physician was not blinded to treatment, but had no involvement in the study.

  Participants will be followed for the duration of study, an expected average of 6 weeks.
