Arms & Interventions

Metformin-Gliclazide (fasted), Then Metformin-Gliclazide (fed)

Experimental

Participants received single dose of Metformin 1000 milligram (mg) and Gliclazide 30 mg fixed combination tablet in fasting state in treatment period 1 followed by single dose of Metformin 1000 mg and Gliclazide 30 mg fixed combination tablet in fed state in treatment period 2. Each treatment period was separated by a 14-day wash-out period.

Intervention: Metformin/Gliclazide Fixed Combination (Drug)

Metformin-Gliclazide (fed), Then Metformin-Gliclazide (fasted)

Experimental

Participants received single dose of Metformin 1000 mg and Gliclazide 30 mg fixed combination tablet in fed state in treatment period 1 followed by single dose of Metformin 1000 mg and Gliclazide 30 mg fixed combination tablet in fasting state in treatment period 2. Each treatment period will be separated by a 14-day wash-out period.

Intervention: Metformin/Gliclazide Fixed Combination (Drug)
