Inclusion Criteria:

  • Written informed consent (IC) obtained
  • Good general health ascertained by detailed medical history, and laboratory and physical examinations

  • Intake of any medication that could affect the outcome of the study. As an exception, contraceptives intra uterine device (IUD) containing levonorgestrel and hormonal implant are allowed.
  • Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory value or physical finding (including electrocardiogram [ECG] and vital signs) that may interfere with the interpretation of test results or cause a health risk for the subject if he/she participates in the study, as judged by the investigator.
  • Known hypersensitivity to the active substance(s) or to any of the excipients of the drug
  • History of vasovagal collapses

  • Recent or current (suspected) drug abuse or positive result in the drugs abuse test
  • Recent or current alcohol abuse (regular drinking more than 21 units per week for males and more than 16 units per week for females [1 unit = 4 cl spirits or equivalent])
  • Current use of nicotine containing products more than 5 cigarettes (or equivalent)/day and/or inability to refrain from the use of nicotine containing products during the study (from the screening visit to the end-of-study visit).
  • Use of caffeine containing beverages more than 600 mg of caffeine/day and/or inability to refrain from the use of caffeine containing beverages during the treatment periods until 24 h after study treatment administration.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The objective of the study is to demonstrate the bioequivalence (BE) of alprazolam 1 mg tablet with Xanax® 1 mg tablet under fed conditions.
Detailed Description
The study is a phase I, open, randomised, crossover, single dose pharmacokinetic study performed in a single centre. The study consists of 2 treatment periods, during which the study subjects will receive the test product and the reference product in a randomised order. During both treatment periods, the study subjects will receive 1 mg of alprazolam as a single oral dose administered after a high-calorie, high-fat meal. Following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, the study subjects will eat the standardised meal 30 minutes prior to administration of the study treatments. Blood samples will be drawn during both treatment periods. The duration of the study per subject will be approximately 5 weeks and at most 9 weeks including a screening visit, 2 treatment periods with a wash-out between the study treatment administrations and a post-treatment period.
