This study will compare the relative bioavailability (rate and extent of absorption) of 50
mg Cilostazol Tablets manufactured by TEVA Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. and distributed
by TEVA Pharmaceuticals USA with that of PLETAL Tablets manufactured by Otsuka
Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. for Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. following a single oral
dose (1 x 50 mg tablet) in healthy adult subjects administered under fasting conditions.

- Urinalysis: by dipstick; full microscopic examination if dipstick positive; and
- Urine Drug Screen: ethyl alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines,
cannabinoids, cocaine metabolites, opiates, and phencyclidine;
