Mucinex® 600 mg ER bi-layer tablets
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Guaifenesin
Maximum measured analyte concentration over the sampling period.
Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)
Area Under Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to the Last Measurable Plasma Concentration (AUCt) of Guaifenesin
The area under the analyte concentration versus time curve, from time zero (0) to the time of the last measurable analyte concentration (t), as calculated by the linear trapezoidal method.
Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)
Time to Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Guaifenesin
Time of the maximum measured analyte concentration over the sampling period.
Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)
Area Under Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUCinf) of Guaifenesin
The area under the analyte concentration versus time curve from time zero to infinity. AUCinf = AUCt + Cp/Kel, where Cp is the predicted analyte concentration at the time of the last measurable analyte concentration.
Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)
Terminal Elimination Rate Constant (Kel) of Guaifenesin
Elimination rate constant calculated from the slope of the terminal portion of the plasma profile calculated by least-squares regression of log (concentration) versus time.

Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)
Terminal Elimination Half-life (T½) of Guaifenesin
Terminal elimination half-life, calculated from the equation: thalf = In(2)/Kel.
Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)
Relative Bioavailability (RF) of Guaifenesin
Relative bioavailability for each formulation will be defined as: (AUC0-inf Fasting ÷ AUC0-inf Fed) x (Fed dose ÷ Fasting dose)
Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20, and 24 hours (Period 1 and 2)
Number of Adverse Events(AEs) Experienced by Participants
Intensity determination Mild=AE does not limit usual activities;subject may experience slight discomfort Moderate=AE results in some limitation of usual activities;subject may experience significant discomfort Severe=AE results in an inability to carry out usual activities;subject may experience intolerable discomfort or pain Unassessable/Unclassifiable=Insufficient information to be able to make an assessment Conditional/Unclassified=Insufficient information to make an assessment at present(causality is conditional on additional information) Unrelated=No possibility that the AE was caused by study drug Unlikely=Slight but remote chance that the AE was caused by study drug but the balance of judgment is that it was most likely not due to the study drug Possible=Reasonable suspicion that the AE was caused by the study drug Probable=Most likely that the AE was caused by study drug Certain=The AE was definitely caused by study drug
Time frame: Up to period 2 (8.3 days/200 hours)
