PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Blood samples collected over a 60 hour period.

Population: All participants that completed the study had their samples analyzed. One subject had very low plasma metronidazole levels for Period I samples, therefore the data from this subject was dropped from the statistical analysis.

Bioequivalence based on Cmax.
