  A fixed dose combination of losartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker and amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, can potentially provide complementary mechanism of action to improve blood pressure control and clinical outcomes. The current study was conducted to compare the pharmacokinetics of a new combination product of losartan potassium and amlodipine besylate with separate co-administration of losartan potassium and amlodipine besylate tablets in 40 healthy human volunteers after a single oral dose in a randomized three-period crossover study. The study protocol was prepared in accordance to the requirements set in the EMA guidance for conducting bioequivalence studies. Reference (Cozaar 100 mg, Merck Sharp & Dohme Ltd, UK and Norvasc 10 mg, Pfizer, Canada) and test (Losanet AM, Pharmaline, Lebanon) drugs were administered to fasted volunteers and blood samples were collected..
