Inclusion Criteria  
Age From  18.00 Year(s)
Age To  55.00 Year(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  1. Healthy males or females of any race, 18-55 years of age (both inclusive) at screening
2. BMI of 18.5-30.0 kg/m2 (both inclusive)

4. From the time of screening until 30 days after the last study dose, subjects must be sexually inactive, sterile, or using effective methods of contraception as follows: If the subject is a male with a female sexual partner who is of childbearing potential, the couple is willing to use two effective methods of birth control during the duration of the trial and for one month after the final evaluation or early termination. A female of childbearing potential is a sexually mature woman who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months), must agree to use two effective methods of contraception for the duration of the study and at least 1 month after the final evaluation or early termination. The two forms of birth control authorized are defined as the use of a barrier method of contraception (condom with spermicide) in association with one of the following methods of birth control: bilateral tubal ligation; combined oral contraceptives (estrogens and progesterone) or implanted or injectable contraceptives with a stable dose for at least 1 month prior to check-in on Day 1; hormonal intra-uterine device (IUD) inserted at least 1 month prior to check-in for Period 1 on Day -1
5. Willing to participate in the study, able to understand and likely to complete all study requirements, and willing to provide voluntary informed consent before initiation of any study-related procedures
6. In the opinion of the Principal Investigator, able to fully comply with the study requirements and judged to be healthy on the basis of the medical history and screening procedures (physical examination, vital signs, and safety laboratory test results)

9. Negative hepatitis panel and negative Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) antibody tests 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  1. Known hypersensitivity to dexamethasone, hydrocortisone, pramoxine, or any of the active or inactive ingredients in the drug treatment
2. Female who is pregnant or lactating, or is planning a pregnancy during the study, or if of child-bearing potential, is unwilling to adhere to the methods of contraception detailed above
3. Any abnormal laboratory value during screening or check-in on Day -1 that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, would interfere with the conduct of the study or safety of the subject
4. History or presence of any significant metabolic, allergic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, or hematologic (bleeding) disorders
5. History or presence of any significant gastrointestinal disorder (peptic ulcer disease, gastritis or bleeding diathesis, proctitis, colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, lower gastrointestinal bleeding, active hemorrhoids, and history of constipation or diarrhea/frequent bowel movements per day) within 60 days prior to Day -1
6. History or presence of any significant endocrine disorders (including Addison’s Disease, Cushing’s Syndrome, and Cushingoid features)
7. History or presence of any significant immunologic, dermatologic, muscular, neurological, psychiatric, neoplastic, or other disease, which, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, could interfere with the course of the study or expose the subject to undue risk by participating in this study
8. Currently participating or has participated within 30 days prior to screening in an investigational drug or device study

Brief Summary  

Relative Bioavailability Study of Hydrocortisone Acetate 25 mg and 45 mg Suppository in Healthy Adult Volunteers. This is a single-center, randomized, open-label, single-dose, 4-treatment, 4-period, 4-sequence crossover study with a 1-week washout between periods to be conducted in 20 healthy adult volunteers. The primary objective is to determine the bioavailability of hydrocortisone following rectal administration of hydrocortisone acetate 25 mg and 45 mg suppository (test product) relative to the reference products (hydrocortisone acetate 1% and pramoxine hydrochloride 1% topical aerosol foam [Proctofoam® ] and hydrocortisone oral tablets)
