Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess bioequivalence (BE) of newly developed Glucophage® XR (GXR) reduced mass (RM) tablet (metformin hydrochloride 500 milligrams (mg) test tablet) and marketed Glucophage ® XR tablet (metformin hydrochloride 500 mg reference tablet) following single oral dose administration under fasted and fed conditions by comparing pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability between test and reference in healthy participants.

Experimental: First Test GXR (Fasting), Then Reference GXR (Fasting) Participants will receive a single oral dose of 500 milligrams (mg) of test GXR tablet on Day 1 in treatment period 1 followed by a single oral dose of 500 mg reference GXR tablet on Day 8 in treatment period 2 under fasting conditions. There will be separate washout period of 7 days between each treatment period. |

- Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Metformin [Pre-dose up to 32 hours post-dose]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs [Day 1 up to Day 21]
- Number of Participants Taking Concomitant Medications [Day 1 up to Day 21]
