Part A: Ratio of geometric mean of AUCτ in Period 2 versus Period 1: AUC(384h - 408h) / AUC(96h - 120h). Ratio of geometric mean of C tr in Period 2 versus Period 1. Part B: Ratio of geometric mean of AUCτ in Period 2 versus Period 1: AUC(264h - 288h) / AUC(96h - 120h). Ratio of geometric mean of C tr in Period 2 versus Period 1

aRatio of geometric means and 90% confidence intervals where at least one of the confidence limits falls outside the FDA-accepted bioequivalence range of 0.80–1.25
