- Inability to refrain from smoking when confined to the study site on trial days
- Alcohol abuse (more than 40 g/day in males, more than 20 g/day in females)
- Drug abuse, in the investigator's judgement upon review of the patient's history and urine screening for abused substances
- Veins unsuited for iv puncture on either arm (e.g. veins which are difficult to locate, access or puncture, veins with a tendency to rupture during or after puncture)
- Blood donation (more than 100 mL within four weeks prior to administration or during the trial)
- Excessive physical activities (within 48 hours prior to trial or during the trial)
- Any laboratory value outside the reference range that is of clinical relevance
- Inability to comply with dietary regimen of study centre
- Subjects not able to understand and comply with protocol requirements, instructions and protocol-stated restrictions
Renally impaired subjects who meet any of the following criteria will not be entered into this trial:
- Moderate and severe concurrent liver function impairment (e.g. due to hepatorenal syndrome)
Patients with significant diseases other than renal impairment will be excluded. A significant disease is defined as a disease which in the opinion of the investigator
- put the patient at risk because of participation in the study
- may influence the results of the study
- may influence the patient's ability to participate in the study
is not in a stable condition
- Diabetic or hypertensive patients can be entered in this trial if the disease is not significant according to these criteria.
- Relevant gastrointestinal tract surgery (except appendectomy, herniotomy)
- Diseases of the central nervous system (such as epilepsy, seizures) or psychiatric disorders or neurological disorders
- History of relevant orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells or blackouts
- Chronic or relevant acute infections (e.g. including Hepatitis B and C and HIV)
- History of allergy/hypersensitivity (including drug allergies) that are deemed relevant to the trial as judged by the investigator
- 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, excluded are those drugs, the patient is currently taking for treatment of the renal or concomitant disease
- Subjects with a change of their chronic medication less than 4 weeks prior to dosing
- Participation in another trial with an investigational drug within one month after previous single dose administration or two months after previous multiple dose administration prior to administration or during the trial
- Smoker (more than 10 cigarettes or 3 cigars or 3 pipes per day)
- Inability to refrain from smoking when confined to the study site on trial days
- Alcohol abuse (more than 40 g/day in males, more than 20 g/day in females)
- Drug abuse, in the investigator's judgement upon review of the patient's history and urine screening for abused substances
- Veins unsuited for iv puncture on either arm (e.g. veins which are difficult to locate, access or puncture, veins with a tendency to rupture during or after puncture)
- Blood donation (more than 100 mL within four weeks prior to administration or during the trial)
- Excessive physical activities (within 48 hours prior to trial or during the trial)
- Clinically relevant laboratory abnormalities (except for renal function tests or deviations of clinical laboratory values that are related to renal impairment)
- Hemoglobin < 8 g/dL indicating severe renal anemia (use of erythropoetin is allowed to maintain hematocrit)
- Inability to comply with dietary regimen of study centre
- Subjects not able to understand and comply with protocol requirements, instructions and protocol-stated restrictions
- Systolic blood pressure < 100 or > 180 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure < 60 or > 110 mm Hg, pulse rate < 50 or > 100 1/min
Exclusion criteria specific for this study due to the known class side effect profile of ß2- mimetics (healthy or renally impaired subjects):
- Asthma or history of pulmonary hyperreactivity
- Hyperthyrosis
- Allergic rhinitis in need of treatment
- Clinically relevant cardiac arrhythmia
For female subjects (healthy or renally impaired):
