Ratio of Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Sampling Time (AUC0-tlast) to Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of Metformin

The ratio of AUClast to AUCinf were reported.

Time frame: Part 1 (fasted): Pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 24 and 32 hours post dose. Part 2 (fed): Pre-dose 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 24 and 32 hours post dose

Population: Pharmacokinetic Analysis Set included those participants who completed investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration and completed all pharmacokinetic blood collection. Here Number of participants analyzed signifies those participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Metformin

Time to reach the maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) was obtained directly from the concentration versus time curve.

Time frame: Part 1 (fasted): Pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 24 and 32 hours post dose. Part 2 (fed): Pre-dose 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 24 and 32 hours post dose

Population: Pharmacokinetic Analysis Set included those participants who completed investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration and completed all pharmacokinetic blood collection.
