tomography using a contrast medium) within 48 hours prior to the first IP
administration.
4. Subjects with a history or current conditions of serious urinary tract infection.
5. Subjects with genetic problems such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency

6. Subjects with a history of gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., Crohn's disease,

7. Subjects with a history of clinically significant hypersensitivity to drugs, including
components of the IPs (empagliflozin or metformin) or additives.
8. Subjects who were deemed unfit for participation in this study based on the following
findings in the screening tests performed within 28 days before the first IP
administration.
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) values > 1.25
times the upper limit of normal range.
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 when calculated
with the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula.
- Positive result for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV),
or syphilis infection test.
- Systolic blood pressure > 150 mmHg or <90 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure > 100
mmHg or <50 mmHg which is measured in sitting position after resting for more
than 5 minutes.
9. Subjects with a history of drug abuse within a year prior to screening or positive
results in urine drug screening tests.
10. Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
11. Subjects who took the following drugs, excluding the topical agents without

they could affect the results of the study or compromise the safety of the subject.
- Any prescription drugs and herbal medicines within 14 days before the first IP
administration.
- Any over-the-counter drugs including health care foods or vitamins within 7 days
before the first IP administration
- Any drugs administered by depot injection or other implantation into the body
within 30 days before the first IP administration
12. Subjects who took any drugs that induce or inhibit drug metabolizing enzymes, such as
barbital drugs, within 30 days before the first IP administration.
13. Subjects with excessive smoking (>10 cigarette/day), caffeine intake (caffeine:>5
cups/day), or drinking (alcohol: >210 g/week) or who cannot stop from smoking,
caffeine intake, and drinking during the hospitalization period.
14. Subjects who have consumed foods containing grapefruit within 7 days prior to the
first IP administration or cannot stop consuming foods containing grapefruit during
the study.
15. Subjects who were administered any other IPs by participating in other clinical trials
within 180 days before the first IP administration (in the case of biological agent,
taking account of its half-life, this period can be extended).
16. Subjects who donated whole blood within 60 days or blood components for apheresis
within 30 days before the first IP administration.
17. Subjects who received blood transfusion within 30 days before the first IP
administration.
18. Subjects judged by the investigators unsuitable for participating in the study based
on any other reasons.
