18The objective of this study was to find out whether the bioavailability of PT Dexa Medica's formulation of 4 mg perindopril tert-butylamine tablets was equivalent to that of the innovator's product (Prexum® 4 mg, Servier).
The participating subjects were required to have an overnight fast and in the next morning were given orally one tablet of the test drug (Perindopril 4 mg tablets of PT Dexa Medica) or one tablet of the reference drug (Prexum® 4 mg, Servier).
Blood samples were drawn immediately before taking the drug (control), and at 20, 40 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 96, 144, 192 hours after drug administration.
Three weeks after the first drug administration (washout period), the procedure was repeated using the alternate drug.
The pharmacokinetic parameters, including AUCt, AUCinf, Cmax, t max, and t1/2, were determined based on the concentrations of the perindopril parent compound and the metabolite perindoprilat, using high-performance liquid chromatography method with tandem mass spectrometry detector (LC-MS/MS).
Test product was given as a single dose, under the procedure as described in the Section: Detailed description of the study.
Reference product was given as a single dose, under the procedure as described in the Section: Detailed description of the study.
Group I (Test product): each tablet contains perindopril tert-butylamine salt 4 mg. A single dose of perindopril tablet of PT Dexa Medica was given to each of study subjects.
Group II (Reference product) : each tablet contains perindopril tert-butylamine salt 4 mg. A single dose of perindopril (Prexum) tablets of Servier was given to each of study subjects.
