Any abnormalities from the normal or reference range will be carefully considered clinically relevant by the physician as individual cases, documented in study files prior to enrolling the subject in this study. 5. Non-pregnant woman (negative pregnancy test) and not currently breast feeding. 6. Female subjects abstain from either hormonal methods of contraception (including oral or transdermal contraceptives, injectable progesterone, progestin subdermal implants, progesterone-releasing IUDs, postcoital contraceptive methods) or hormone replacement therapy for at least 28 days prior to admission in Period 1. Injectable contraceptives e.g. Depo-Provera® will be discontinued at least 6 months prior to admission in Period 1. Subjects agree to use acceptable non-hormonal contraceptive methods such as condom, diaphragm, foams, jellies, or abstinence for at least 14 days prior to admission in Period 1 until 7 days after the end of study in Period 2. Female subjects of non-childbearing potential must meet at least one of the following criteria prior to admission in Period 1:  Postmenopausal for at least 1 year or  Surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy) at least 6 months. 7. Male subjects who are willing or able to use effective contraceptive e.g. condom or abstinence after admission in Period 1 until 7 days after the end of study in Period 2. 8.

History or evidence of clinically significant renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, hematological (e.g. anemia), endocrine (e.g. thyroid), pulmonary or respiratory (e.g. asthma), cardiovascular (e.g. coronary artery disease, myocardial infraction, heart failure), psychiatric, neurologic (e.g. convulsion), allergic disease (including drug allergies, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies at time of dosing) or any significant ongoing chronic medical illness 3.

History or evidence of drug addict or investigation with urine sample shows a positive test for drug of abuse (morphine, marijuana or methamphetamine) 9. 12-lead ECG demonstrating QTc >450 msec, a QRS interval >120 msec or with an abnormality considered clinically significant at screening. If QTc exceeds 450 msec, or QRS exceeds 120 msec, the ECG will be repeated two more times and the average of the three QTc or QRS values will be used to determine the subject’s eligibility. 10. Investigation with blood sample shows positive test for HBsAg. 11. Investigation with blood sample shows fasting blood glucose level less than 70 mg/dl or more than 99 mg/dl at screening laboratory test 12. Abnormal liver function, ≥ 1.5 times of upper normal limit of reference range for ALT, AST or bilirubin levels at screening laboratory test 13. Creatine kinase levels > 1.5 times of upper normal limit of reference range (unless explained by exercise) at screening laboratory test 14. History or evidence of habitual use of tobacco or nicotine containing products and cannot abstain for at least 7 days prior to admission and continued until last sample collection in each study period 15. History or evidence of habitual consume of tea, coffee, xanthine or caffeine containing products and cannot abstain for at least 7 days prior to admission and continued until last sample collection in each study period 16. Consume or drink juice of grapefruit or orange or pomelo or its supplement/containing products and cannot abstain for at least 7 days prior to admission and continued until last sample collection in each study period 17.
