To asses bio equivalence between two (500 mg sulfadoxine / 25 mg pyrimethamine) formulation
• The aim of this study is to assess bioequivalence between a single dose from the test product, Sulfadoxine/Pyrimethamine two dispersible tablets (250 mg sulfadoxine / 12.5 mg pyrimethamine), manufactured by Emzor Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd, Nigeria versus the reference product G-COSPE® one tablet (500 mg sulfadoxine / 25 mg pyrimethamine) manufactured by Guilin Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd, China.

Two tablets of 250 mg sulfadoxine / 12.5 mg pyrimethamine or 500 mg sulfadoxine / 25 mg pyrimethamine to be given as single dose once under fasting condition
One tablet of G-COSPE® tablets, 500 mg sulfadoxine / 25 mg pyrimethamine to be given as single dose once under fasting condition
Bioequivalence based on Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for Sulfadoxine and Pyrimethamine.
The average bioequivalence of the products will be concluded if the two-sided 90 % confidence interval for the test to reference ratio of the population means is within 80.00 - 125.00 % for the ln transformed data Cmax of sulfadoxine \& pyrimethamine
Time frame: 72 hours
Area under the plasma concentration versus time curves (AUC0 - 72) for Sulfadoxine and Pyrimethamine
The average bioequivalence of the products will be concluded if the two-sided 90 % confidence interval for the test to reference ratio of the population means is within 80.00 - 125.00 % for the ln transformed data AUC0 -72 of sulfadoxine \& pyrimethamine
Time frame: 72 hours
Obtaining the Tmax (Time to reach maximum concentration) for Sulfadoxine and Pyrimethamine
The descriptive statistics including Maximum, Minimum and Median values will be measured for Tmax
Time frame: 72 hours
Number of participant with treatment related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0.
ECG QTc Interval (safety and tolerability) Clinically significant abnormal deviations in ECG QTc interval
Time frame: ECG recording will be performed 4 hours post- dosing and at the end of the study (at 72.00 hours post dosing) as follow-up tests
Number of participant with treatment related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0.
Blood pressure (safety and tolerability) Clinically significant abnormal deviations. Normal range of blood pressure \> 90/60 and \<140/90 mmHg. Treatment will be offered to those subjects whom blood pressure drops to 90/60 mm Hg or less and the subject will be excluded in case of not responding to treatment
Time frame: At 1-hour pre-dosing; 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 23 hours post-dosing (±45 minutes of scheduled time). Blood pressure will also be measured at 48 and 72 hours post-dosing upon ambulatory sample collection.

Number of participant with treatment related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0.
Pulse (safety and tolerability) Clinically significant abnormal deviations. Normal range of Pulse 60-100 Bpm
Time frame: At 1-hour pre-dosing; 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 23 hours post-dosing (±45 minutes of scheduled time). Pulse will also be measured at 48 and 72 hours post-dosing upon ambulatory sample collection.
Number of participant with treatment related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0.
Temperature (safety and tolerability) Clinically significant abnormal deviations. The temperature will be measured axillary, orally or using infrared thermometer, standardized across all subjects. Normal range of temperature 36.5-37.5 ºC.
Time frame: At 1-hour pre-dosing; 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22 & 23 hours postdosing (±45 minutes of scheduled time).Temperature will also be measured at 48 and 72 hours post-dosing upon ambulatory sample.
Number of participant with treatment related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0.
Respiratory rate (safety and tolerability) Clinically significant abnormal deviations. Normal range of respiratory rate 12-18 B/M
Time frame: At 1-hour pre-dosing; 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22 & 23 hours postdosing (±45 minutes of scheduled time).Respiratory rate will also be measured at 48 and 72 hours post-dosing upon ambulatory sample.

Hematology (Safety and Tolerability) Hematology test will include Complete blood count
Time frame: At the end of the study (at 72.00 hours post dosing
