Brief Summary  

The eligible volunteers as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be admitted in the study at least 2 days before dose administration. On the dosing day a single oral dose of propranolol will be administered to each volunteer as per the following table;

 

Treatment Arm

Propranolol dose

(Single Dose)

Time

Arm 1

60 mg

9 AM (+ 30 min)

Arm 2

30 mg twice

9 AM and 3 PM (+ 30 min)

Arm 3

60 mg

6 PM (+ 30 min)

 The urine sample will be collected during the study in the following manner;

 

  • From 10AM until 10 PM on Day -1 “Day -1 (One day before Dosing of Propranolol), Daytime Urine”
  • From 10 PM on Day -1 until 10 AM on Day 0 (Dosing day), “Day -1, Nocturnal Urine”
  • From 10 AM on Day 0 until 10 PM on Day 0 “Day 0, Daytime Urine”
  • From 10 PM on Day 0 until 10 AM on Day 1 (Check-out Day), “Day 1, Nocturnal Urine”

The volunteers will be discharged 24 hrs after dose administration of single dose of Propranolol

This study will be conducted in 2 stages. In stage I, total 15 eligible volunteers will be admitted and dosed. After interim analysis of melatonin level in urine of 15 volunteers, next Stage II, will be initiated, where 30 eligible volunteers will be admitted and rest of the study procedures will be same as done for 15 volunteers
