The study was carried out in the Clinical Unit and Analytical Unit of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology of the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, with the aim of comparing the bioavailability (maximum concentration and area under the curve) of an oral formulation containing Pregabalin 150 mg/Tramadol 50 mg in combination with the two oral formulations Pregabalin 150 mg or Tramadol 50 mg administered as a single dose, in healthy subjects under fasting conditions.
The study design was crossover, 3 x 6 x 3, prospective and longitudinal, at a single dose of the combination Pregabalin 150 mg/Tramadol 50 mg administered orally versus each component administered individually, with three treatments, three periods, six sequences and one elimination period (wash out) of 7 days in 30 healthy subjects, under fasting conditions. The objective of the study was to characterize the pharmacokinetic parameters, maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the curve (AUC), time to achieve Cmax (tmax), elimination constant (Ke), and elimination half life (t1/2) of Pregabalin and Tramadol after single oral dose administration, in combination: Pregabalin 150 mg/Tramadol 50 mg, tablets (Laboratorios Silanes S.A. de C.V.) versus each component individually managed, as well as to establish the frequency and type of events presented after the administration of a single dose of the formulations.
