Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy males and females according to the following criteria: Based upon a complete medical history, including the physical examination, vital signs (Blood Pressure (BP), Pulse Rate (PR)), 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG), clinical laboratory tests
• Age ≥18 and Age ≤55 years
• BMI ≥18.5 and BMI ≤30 kg/m2 (Body Mass Index)
• Extensive metabolisers for CYP 2D6
• Signed and dated written informed consent prior to admission to the study in accordance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and the local legislation

Exclusion Criteria:

• Any finding of the medical examination (including BP, PR and ECG) deviating from normal and of clinical relevance
• Any evidence of a clinically relevant concomitant disease
• Gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, immunological or hormonal disorders
• Surgery of the gastrointestinal tract (except appendectomy)
• Diseases of the central nervous system (such as epilepsy) or psychiatric disorders or neurological disorders

• Chronic or relevant acute infections
• History of relevant allergy/hypersensitivity (including allergy to drug or its excipients)
• Intake of drugs with a long half-life (> 24 hours) within at least one month or less than 10 half-lives of the respective drug prior to administration or during the trial
• Use of drugs which might reasonably influence the results of the trial or which prolong the QT/QTc interval based on the knowledge at the time of protocol preparation within 10 days prior to administration or during the trial
• Participation in another trial with an investigational drug within one month prior to administration or during the trial
• Smoker (> 10 cigarettes or > 3 cigars or > 3 pipes/day)

• Excessive physical activities (within one week prior to administration or during the trial)
• Any laboratory value outside the reference range that is of clinical relevance
• Inability to comply with dietary regimen of trial site
• A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (e.g., repeated demonstration of a QTc interval >450 ms)
• A history of additional risk factors for TdP (Torsades de points) (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of Long QT Syndrome)

For female subjects:

• Pregnancy or planning to become pregnant within 2 months of study completion
• Positive pregnancy test
• No adequate contraception in women of childbearing potential during the study, i.e. sterilization, intrauterine device, hormonal contraception
• Lactation period

Exclusion criteria specific for this study:

• Use of drugs that inhibit or induce cytochrome P 450 enzymes, especially CYP 2D6, within 30 days prior to first administration of the study medication or during the trial
