An Open-randomized, Balanced, Crossover Bioequivalence Study to Compare One MR Tablet of 60 mg Gliclazide and Two MR Tablets of 30 mg Gliclazide in Healthy Subjects

The 2 × 2 crossover designed study is to evaluate the bioequivalence of two different MR tablets of gliclazide after single oral administration at the same doses to healthy subjects.
