Popis: The pharmacokinetics of four single-dose treatments of the metformin administered orally (as the HCl salt) were compared in 24 healthy subjects: 500 mg and 850 mg tablets and 850 mg solution fasting and 850 mg tablet with food. Solution and tablet formulations are bioequivalent. Bioavailability of a 500 mg tablet is 14% greater than that of an 850 mg tablet. Compared with the fasting state, bioavailability is 24% lower, and the peak concentration delayed about 37 min when an 850 mg tablet is administered with food.
