The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of LipoCol Forte® Capsules on the pharmacokinetics of nifedipine after administering single-dose combination to healthy subjects using a 2x2 crossover design.
Healthy subjects were randomly allocated to receive a single dose of either one 5 milgram (mg) nifedipine capsule or one 5 milgram (mg) nifedipine capsule plus one 600 milgram (mg) red yeast rice capsule; after 7-day washout period, they received a single dose of the alternative drug. The subjects were fasted at least 10 hour before dosing. The investigational products were administered with 240 milliliter (mL) of water with the subject in an upright position. The blood samples were collected at prior to the drug administration (T0), and 0.167, 0.333, 0.500, 0.750, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16 and 24 hours after dosing.

Evaluation of the pharmacokinetic parameters of nifedipine in healthy subjects
Plasma concentrations of nifedipine were detected at following time: (Pre-dose (T0), and 0.167, 0.333, 0.500, 0.750, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16 and 24 hours after oral administration nifedipine capsule with or without red yeast rice capsule (LipoCol)) All pharmacokinetic parameters were determined with nifedipine concentrations by non-compartment methods.
