Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of steady-state ranolazine 500 mg bid on the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) of metformin in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Detailed description

The primary objective of this study is as follows: • To evaluate the effect of steady-state ranolazine 500 mg twice daily (bid) on the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) of metformin in subjects with T2DM. The secondary objectives of this study are as follows: * To examine the safety and tolerability of metformin when co administered with ranolazine 500 mg bid at steady-state in subjects with T2DM. * To determine the steady-state PK of ranolazine 500 mg bid in subjects with T2DM receiving metformin.
