The investigators aim to investigate the interindividual variation in metformin AUC in a large cohort of healthy volunteers after a single dose of metformin. Part 1 is driven by the hypothesis that metformin AUC and renal clearance exhibit significant interindividual variation. However this has never been documented in a large cohort of healthy volunteers.
The investigators aim to investigate the potential interaction between codeine and metformin in the intestine. The hypothesis underlying part 3 is that the increased risk of early discontinuation of metformin during co-administration with codeine is primarily due to local inhibition of OCT1 via codeine at the intestinal level.
Part 1: The investigators intend to investigate the inter-individual variation in metformin Area Under Plasma Concentration Curve (AUC) following a single dose of oral metformin based on the plasma concentration of metformin after 3 and 10 hours and urine collection for 24 hours . Part 2: The investigators intend to contribute with DNA and metformin AUC determinations from subjects from part 1 to a major international study that aime to highlight the Genome Wide Association (GWA) between the entire genome and variations in metformin pharmacokinetics (AUC) in a large group of healthy subjects and patients. Part 3: The investigators aim to investigate the potential interaction between codeine and metformin in the intestine.
The investigators secondary objective in part 3 is to investigate if the plasma concentration of morphine increases when codeine and metformin are given together due to competitive inhibition of the Organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) transport protein (in the liver). Furthermore, the investigators will measure lactate after metformin ingestion as a proxy for metformin's effect on the intestinal mucosa, both after oral and intravenous metformin

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oral metformin | Drug | The study was designed as a randomized, cross-over trial with a washout period of at least 1 week between the phases. Metformin was given both orally and through an intravenous route to be able to determine the absolute bioavailability of metformin. Metformin was given alone and together with codeine to investigate a potential interaction between the drugs. Lactate was measured as a proxy for metformin effect on the intestinal mucosa, both after oral and intravenous metformin |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Metformin AUC | Outcomes of part 1: Variation in metformin AUC in a large cohort of healthy volunteers after a single dose of metformin | blood samples will be collected after 3 and 10 hours for each subject (N=300) after oral metformin ingestion. Urine is collected for 24 hours. |
| Metformin AUC | Outcome of part 3; differences in AUC for metformin when given alone and together with codeine | Blood samples will be drawn in each of the 4 arms from ingestion of the drug/drugs and for 24 hours at suitable times. Urine is collected after ingestion of metformin for 24 hours. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Codeine AUC | secondary outcome of part 3: differences in codeine AUC when codeine is given alone and together with metformin | Blood samples are collected for 6 hours after ingestion of the first codeine pill. Blood samples are also collected and measured for codeine, morphing, M3G,M6G for 6 hours after both oral and intravenous metformin |

In part 1 a single group of healthy volunteers will ingest a single dosis of metformin and then have a blood sample drawn after 3 and 10 hours.
In part 3, 18 healthy subjects will be randomized to ingest: a) oral metformin b) intravenous metformin c) 4 pills of codeine with the 5th taken together with oral metformin and d) 4 pills of codeine with the 5th taken together with intravenous metformin.
