A Single-centre, Randomized, Open-label, Three-period Crossover Pharmacokinetic Study of 80 mg Telmisartan / 5 mg Amlodipine Fixed Dose Combination Compared With Its Monocomponents in Healthy Chinese Subjects

To determine the pharmacokinetic profile of 80 mg telmisartan / 5 mg amlodipine (T80/A5) dose combination after single dose in healthy Chinese subjects.

To determine whether a pharmacokinetic interaction exists between telmisartan and amlodipine, following single doses of 80mg telmisartan (T80), and 5 mg amlodipine (A5) tablet alone and in combination, in healthy Chinese subjects.
