ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating how two different brands of Bilastine tablets compare in healthy adults. Bilastine is an antihistamine used to treat allergies, and the study aims to see if the two versions of the medication work the same way in the body. The trial will involve 40 healthy participants aged 18 and older, who will be divided into two groups to receive one of the two brands of Bilastine on an empty stomach. After a week of rest, they will switch to the other brand.

To participate, individuals must be healthy, weigh at least 50 kg (about 110 lbs for men) or 45 kg (about 99 lbs for women), and have a normal health check-up before joining. Participants will need to fast before taking the medication and will be monitored throughout the study. It's important to note that individuals with certain medical conditions, allergies to Bilastine, or those who use specific medications will not be eligible. If you're considering participating, you'll have the opportunity to learn more about the study and will need to provide consent before it begins.
