Brief summary

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to compare repaglinide and metformin as co-administered tablets and as a combination tablet.

Interventions

DRUGrepaglinide

Single dose of 2 mg tablets administered immediately prior to a standard high fat breakfast concomitantly with metformin as separate tablets. Subjects will be randomised to receive trial drug on 3 separate dosing visits in varying order out of 6 possible treatment periods

DRUGmetformin

Single dose of 500 mg tablets administered immediately prior to a standard high fat breakfast concomitantly with repaglinide as separate tablets. Subjects will be randomised to receive trial drug on 3 separate dosing visits in varying order out of 6 possible treatment periods

Single dose of 2 mg repaglinide/500 mg metformin (NN4440 2/500) or 1 mg repaglinide/500 mg metformin (NN4440 1/500)administered immediately prior to a standard high fat breakfast. Subjects will be randomised to receive trial drug on 3 separate dosing visits in varying order out of 6 possible treatment periods
