Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:1. Healthy volunteers of both genders, aged ≥18 and ≤60 years.
2. Subjects with Body Mass Index (ΒΜΙ) ≥18.5 and <30.0 kg/m2.
3. Healthy volunteers are declared healthy based on medical history, physical
examination, ECG, pulmonary function test (a forced expiratory volume in 1 second
(FEV1) ≥80% of the predicted normal value), and clinical laboratory values within the
laboratory stated normal range; if not within this range, they must be without any
clinical significance according to the Investigator.
4. Females who participate in the study are either at reproductive age i.e.pre-menopausal
or unable to gestate [i.e. post-menopausal (absence of menses for 12 months prior to
drug administration), hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, tubal ligation at least 6
months prior to drug administration].
5. Subjects that are non-smokers.
6. Subjects that, in the opinion of the principal investigator/medical officer, are able
to communicate and comply with the study procedures and protocol restrictions as
evidenced by the Informed Consent Form (ICF) duly read, signed and dated by the
subject prior to study initiation.
7. Subjects able to use the inhalers according to given instructions, as judged by the
Investigator or study nurse.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Hypersensitivity to the active substance(s) or to the excipient (lactose which
contains small amounts of milk protein may cause allergic reactions) or related class
(any sympathomimetic drug or any inhaled, intranasal, or systemic corticosteroid
therapy) of the medicinal product
2. Clinically significant illness or surgery within four weeks prior to dosing.
3. Clinically significant ECG abnormalities or vital sign abnormalities (seated systolic
blood pressure <90 or >140 mmHg, seated diastolic blood pressure <50 or >90 mmHg or
heart rate less than 50 or over 100 bpm) at screening.
4. Clinically significant history or presence of chronic bronchitis, emphysema,asthma or
any other lung disease.
5. History or presence of pulmonary tuberculosis.
6. Viral or bacterial, upper or lower respiratory tract infection or sinus or middle ear
infection within 4 weeks prior to the screening visit.

immunological, psychiatric or metabolic disease.
8. History of significant alcohol or drug abuse within one year prior to the screening
visit.
9. Regular use of alcohol within six months prior to screening visit (more than 14
alcohol units per week) [1Unit =150 ml of wine, 360 ml of beer, or 45 ml of 40%
alcohol].
10. Inability to abstain from alcohol for the duration of study period.
11. Presence of disease markers for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or HIV at screening.
12. Positive results for drugs of abuse (barbiturates, marijuana, opioids, benzodiazepines
and methadone) in saliva before each administration.
13. Positive alcohol breath test before each administration.
14. Use of soft drugs (such as marijuana) within three months prior to screening or hard
drugs such as crack, cocaine or heroin within one year prior to screening visit
15. Intake of any drugs known to induce or inhibit hepatic drug metabolism (examples of
inducers are barbiturates, carbamazepine, phenytoin, glucocorticoids,
rifampin/rifabutin; examples of inhibitors are, erythromycin, ketoconazole, indinavir,
cobicistat-containing products) within one month prior to administration of the study
medication. Under these circumstances, subject inclusion will be judged by the
principal investigator.
16. History of peptic ulcer, other gastrointestinal disorders (e.g. chronic diarrhoea,
irritable bowel syndrome) or unresolved gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. diarrhea,
vomiting) or significant hepatic, renal or other condition that is known to interfere
with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the drug.
17. Use of oral or parenteral corticosteroids in the previous four 4 weeks
18. Eye disorders especially Glaucoma (or a family history of glaucoma)
19. Use of prescription medication (within 14 days prior to the first administration of
study medication) or over-the-counter (OTC) products (including food supplements
vitamins and herbal supplements) within one week (7 days) prior to the first
administration of study medication, except for topical products without systematic
absorption. Contraceptives are allowed.
20. Vaccination for prophylaxis from seasonal flu or any other vaccination within seven
days prior to administration

months prior to treatment administration.
23. Donation of plasma (500 ml) within 7 days prior to treatment administration.
24. Donation of whole blood or loss of whole blood ≥ 500 ml prior to administration of the

- progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation oral,

- intrauterine device (IUD)
- intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)
