Current Primary Outcome Measuresbioequivalence will be demonstrated if the 90% confidence interval (CI) for the formulation effect is contained within the interval of 0.8000-1.2500 for AUC(0-t), AUCinf and Cmax with respect to both dapagliflozin and metformin. [Time Frame: Immediately prior to administration of the investigational product (IP). After intake of IP PK blood samples will be drawn every 15 minutes for the first hour, every 30 minutes for the second hour and every hour up to 72 h after intake of IP.] [Designated as safety issue: No]
Current Secondary Outcome MeasuresTo examine the safety and tolerability of the combination of dapagliflozin and metformin. [Time Frame: Throughout study (for 4 days in each period and a follow-up visit ~6 days later)] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]
