Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

A 3-fold crossover bioequivalence study between Glucobay Orally Disintegrating Tablet (ODT) and Glucobay standard tablet

Trial purpose

To establish the bioequivalence between Glucobay ODT (Orally Disintegrating Tablet) taken without or with water and the Glucobay standard tablet taken with water
