7. Able to communicate well with the investigator and comply with the requirements of the study.

8. Pregnancy tests (female only): negative reaction

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Use of any prescription or over the counter medication within 14 days prior to investigational products administration; with the exception of acetaminophen (not more than 2 g/day) or vitamins.

2. A plan to take concomitant medications while enrolled in the study, with the exception of acetaminophen (not more than 2 g/day) or vitamins.

3. Presence of any acute or chronic medical condition within 2 weeks prior to investigational products administration, including but not limited to: hepatic, gastrointestinal, renal, hematologic (including coagulation), pulmonary, neurologic, respiratory, endocrine, or cardiovascular system abnormalities; psychiatrical disease including major psychiatric disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorder); acute infection; or other conditions that would interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs. Evidence of impaired renal function as indicated by clinically significant abnormal creatinine or BUN values or abnormal urinary constituents (e.g., albuminuria) as judged by the investigator. Evidence of liver disease, hepatitis B, hepatitis C or liver injury as indicated by an clinically significant abnormal liver function profile such as GOT, GPT, g-GT, alkaline phosphatase, serum bilirubin, HBs Ag, or HCV Ab as judged by the investigator.

4. Hemoglobin less than 12 g/dL
