Official TitleA Relative Bioavailability Study of 800 mg Gabapentin Tablets Under Non-Fasting Conditions
Brief Summary
This study compared the relative bioavailability (rate and extent of absorption) of
Gabapentin tablets 800 mg by Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited with that of Neurontin ® 800 mg

Warner-Lambert Co. following a single oral dose (1x800 mg tablet) in healthy adult
volunteers under non-fasting conditions.
Detailed Description
A single oral dose of the test or the reference product was administered to 22 healthy adult
human volunteers on two separate occasions under non-fasting conditions with at least a 7
day washout between the doses. Food and the fluid intake were controlled during each
confinement period.

Twenty two (22) healthy adult human volunteers (12 males and 10 females) were enrolled in
the study. All twenty two (22) subjects successfully completed the clinical portion of the
study
