| Abstract | Aim To evaluate the pharmacokinetic and relative bioavailability of metformin hydrochloride extended-release tablets made in two formulations (test drugs, T1, T2) to metformin hydrochloride extended-release tablets already for sale (reference product, R). Methods An open-label, randomized and crossover clinical trials recruited 18 healthy volunteers were carried out for single-dose (1000mg) and multiple-doses (1000mg·d × 7d) administration study. The plasma metformin concentrations were determined using HPLC method. Results Various pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from plasma metformin concentrations. After single-dose administration (T1, T2, R), there was no statistical significant difference in AUC, Cmax and tmax either among the three treatments or among formulations by ANOVA after log-transformation of the data and two one-sided t-test, and the relative bioavailabilities for test drugs to the reference drug, were 98.8%±13.0% and 96.7%±14.6% respectively. After multiple-doses administration (T2, R), no statistically significant difference was found in AUCss, Cmax and tmax between test drug and reference product evaluated by ANOVA after log-transformation of the data and two one-sided t-test. Besides, there was no statistically significant difference in Cmin, Cav and DF between test drug and reference product evaluated by paired-sample t-test. The relative bioavailability for the test drug to the reference product was 94.6%±14.0%. Conclusion The reference metformin product is bioequivalent to the test two formulations of metformin hydrochloride tablets, and it is suggested that the test drugs and reference product are of equal clinical efficacy. |
