Inclusion criteria
* The subject is healthy based upon a complete medical history, including the physical examination, regarding vital signs (BP, PR), 12-lead ECG measurement, and clinical laboratory tests. There is no finding deviating from normal and of clinical relevance. There is no evidence of a clinically relevant concomitant disease * The subject is at least 21 years old and not older than 50 years * The subject's body mass index (BMI) is at least 18.5 kg/m2 and less than 30 kg/m2 * The subject has signed and dated a written informed consent prior to admission to the study in accordance with GCP (Good Clinical Practice) and the local legislation
Exclusion criteria
* The subject has any finding of the medical examination (including BP, PR, and ECG measurements) deviating from normal and of clinical relevance * The subject had a surgery of gastrointestinal tract (except appendectomy) * The subject has a diagnosis of gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, immunological or hormonal disorders * The subject has a diagnosis of diseases of the central nervous system (such as epilepsy) or psychiatric disorders or neurological disorders * The subject has a history of relevant orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells or blackouts * The subject has a diagnosis of chronic or relevant acute infections * The subject has a history of relevant allergy/hypersensitivity (including allergy to the drug or its excipients) as judged clinically relevant by the investigator * The subject has taken drugs with a long half-life (\>24 hours) within at least one month or less than 10 half-lives of the respective drug prior to randomisation * The subject has used drugs which might reasonably influence the results of the trial based on the knowledge at the time of protocol preparation within 10 days prior to randomisation * The subject has participated in another trial with an investigational drug within two months prior to randomisation * The subject is a heavily smoker (\>10 cigarettes or \>3 cigars or \>3 pipes/day) * The subject is not able to refrain from smoking on trial days as judged by the investigator * The subject uses more than 60 g alcohol a day) * The subject uses drugs * The subject has donated more than 100 mL blood within four weeks prior to randomisation * The subject has performed excessive physical activities within one week prior to randomisation * The subject has a laboratory value outside the reference range that is of clinical relevance * The subject is not able to comply with dietary regimen of the study centre.
