Relative Bioavailability of Telmisartan and SR26334 After Co-administration Compared to the Bioavailability of Telmisartan and SR26334 After Administration of Telmisartan and Clopidogrel Alone in Healthy Male and Female Subjects

Relative Bioavailability of Telmisartan and SR26334, the Main Metabolite of Clopidogrel, After Co-administration Compared to the Bioavailability of Telmisartan and SR26334 After p.o. Administration of 80 mg Telmisartan and 75 mg Clopidogrel Alone. A Four-way, Single Dose, Open, Randomised Crossover Study in 24 Healthy Male and Female Subjects

Study to investigate the relative bioavailability of concomitant administration of clopidogrel and telmisartan (Test 1) relative to the bioavailability of SR26334 alone (Reference 1), and relative to the bioavailability of telmisartan alone (Reference 2). And to investigate the bioavailability of SR26334 following administration of clopidogrel 30 minutes after intake of telmisartan (Test 2) relative to the bioavailability of SR26334 alone (Reference 1), and relative to the bioavailability of telmisartan alone (Reference 2)
