8. Subjects who are non-smokers based on history.

9. Subjects willing to adhere to the protocol and the following study requirements:

• Should not consume alcohol at least 48 hours prior to dosing (i.e. during in-house monitoring and the remaining based on history) until the last sample collection.

• Should not consume grapefruit or its products at least 7 days prior to each dosing (i.e. during in-house monitoring and the remaining based on history) and until the last sample collection.

10. Subjects having no clinically significant medical history and no clinically significant abnormalities in general physical examination, laboratory assessments, 12-lead ECG, chest X-Ray or vital signs.
