  Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor indicated for the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal diseases such as reflux esophagitis, duodenal and gastric ulcers. The aims of this study were to compare the bioavailability and to determine the bioequivalence of a test and reference formulation of oral pantoprazole 40 mg, administered as a coated tablet, and to generate data regarding the oral bioavailability of this drug in the Mexican population. This single-dose, randomized-sequence, open-label, 2-period crossover study was conducted on a total 34 healthy Mexican adult subjects of both genders, with a 7-days washout period. Study formulations were administered after a 10-hour overnight fast. For pharmacokinetic analysis, blood samples were drawn at 0 (baseline), 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 hours after administration. Plasma concentrations o..
