: The recommended dose of XELODAÂ is 1250 mg/m2 administered orally twice daily (morning and evening; equivalent to 2500 mg/m2 total daily dose) for 2 weeks followed by a 1-week rest period given as 3 week cycles.
In current study, Test and Reference formulation of Capecitabine Tablets USP 500 mg will be administered as a single dose as multiples of 500mg on Day 1 and Day 2 morning dose as per randomization schedule. The evening dose on day 1 and day 2 will be locally approved and marketed capecitabine Tablets 500 mg.
