Brief Summary  

At least 44 number of healthy Adult Patients With Iron Deficiency Anaemia will be recruited to evaluate the Bioequivalence of Test product with the Reference product

 

In each period patients will be housed in the clinical facility for at least 11 00 hours pre dose to 72 00 hours post dose

 

In each period, after an overnight fasting of at least 08 00 hrs, in the morning a single infusion of either the test product T or reference product R will be administered as per the randomization schedule up to 15 to 30 minutes at ambient temperature, to the patients to the patient in the supine position, under the supervision of Investigator or Medical Officer and trained study personnel including the Quality Assurance auditor or monitors

 

Blood pressure, radial pulse rate, body temperature, and wellbeing status will be enquired and recorded at pre-dose 00.00 hour within 75 minutes of before dosing and at 01 00 hrs 02 00 hrs 04 00 hrs 06 00 hrs 08 00 hrs 12 00 24 00 hrs 36 00 hrs 48 00 hrs plus or minus 60 minutes post dose
