Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics: Bioequivalence Study: When a single oral dose of one tablet of NIKP-Zolpidem tablet 10 mg or one tablet of the reference product (both tablets contain 10 mg of zolpidem tartrate) was given to healthy male adults during fasting with a cross-over method, the plasma concentrations of zolpidem were measured. In a statistical analysis for the obtained pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC and C
max), calculation results of 90% confidence intervals for the parameters were within a range between log (0.8) and log (1.25), demonstrating the bioequivalence of the two formulations. (See Table 1 and figure.)
