A Relative Bioavailability Study of Rabeprazole Sodium Administered With Different Dosing Vehicles in Healthy Adult Volunteers

Summary

The purpose of the study is to investigate the bioavailability (rate and extent of absorption) of rabeprazole sodium when a sprinkle capsule granule formulation of rabeprazole sodium is mixed with different dosing vehicles (food, others) and is administered to healthy adult volunteers. Rabeprazole sodium is a drug used to treat patients with Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). GERD is a condition in which the esophagus (tube from throat to stomach) becomes irritated or inflamed because of acid backing up from the stomach.
