Aim: Determination of the bioequivalence of two metformin HCl (750 mg) caplet formulations (Glucophage XR® from Bristol-Myres Squibb Company, Indonesia as a reference formulation and Glumin XR® from Ferron Par Pharmaceutical, Indonesia as a test formulation). Material and method: The study was conducted according to an open label, randomized, Two-period crossover design with a 1 week washout period. Twelve volunteers participated and all completed the study successfully. Blood samples were obtained prior to dosing and at 1.0; 1.5; 2.0; 2.5; 3.0; 3.5; 4.0; 6.0; 8.0; 10.0; 14.0; 18.0; 24.0 and 30.0 hours after drug administration. Plasma will be separated by centrifuge and stored frozen at -20 degree Celcius. Plasma concentration of metformin HCl was monitored using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with photo diode array (PDA) detection over a period of 30 hours a.. View More»
