Brief summary: The aim of this study is to demonstrate bioequivalence of fixed dose combination Dapagliflozin + Metformin modified -release, film-coated tablets, 10 mg + 1000 mg, (AstraZeneca AB, Sweden) versus Forxiga™ (Dapagliflozin), film-coated tablets, 10 mg (Bristol Myers Squibb Company, USA) and Glucophage® long (Metformin), ER tablets, 1000 mg (2 x 500 mg) (Merck Santé S.A.S., France) which are already registered in the Russian Federation.

Detailed description: Randomised open-label crossover comparative, single center, two periods, clinical study of investigational drug and reference drugs bioequivalence evaluation with a single administration of the study drug (1 modified - release film-coated tablets of Dapagliflozin + Metformin or 1 film-coated tablets of Forxiga™ + 2 tablets ER of Glucophage® long) under fed condition in healthy volunteers.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

6. Deviations from the normal parameters in clinical blood count analysis, biochemical blood analysis, urinalysis; vital signs;
7. Mental, physical and other reasons that do not allow the subjects according to investigator's opinion to assess their behavior adequately, to follow correctly the requirements of the clinical study protocol and to assess the expected risks and possible discomfort;
8. Organic brain damage, history of increased seizure activity;
9. Changes on ECG (clinically significant);
10. Systolic blood pressure (AD) measured in a sitting position, less than 100 mmHg or above 130 mmHg and / or diastolic blood pressure below 70 mm Hg or above 90 mmHg at screening or any time during the study;
