Measure
First Glucophage XR (Test), Then Glucophage XR (Comparator)
Participants received single oral dose of 750 milligram (mg) Glucophage® XR tablet manufactured by PT Merck Tbk, Jakarta, Indonesia (Test Drug) in treatment period 1 followed by single oral dose of 750 mg Glucophage® XR tablet manufactured by Merck Santé, Semoy, France (Comparator Drug) in treatment period 2 under fasting conditions. The two periods were separated by a 7-day wash-out period.

Population: The safety analysis set included all participants who have received at least one dose of the investigational product and have had one subsequent safety assessment.

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. The term TEAE is defined as AEs starting or worsening after the first intake of the study drug. Number of participants with TEAEs included participants with both non serious and serious TEAEs.
