Primary Outcome Measures:
- Evaluation of the pharmacokinetic parameters of lovastatin and lovastatin acid in healthy subjects [ Time Frame: 1 weeks ]Plasma concentrations of lovastatin and lovastatin acid were detected at following time: (Pre-dose (T0), and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours after oral administration red yeast rice capsule (LipoCol Forte)or lovastatin. All pharmacokinetic parameters were determined with lovastatin and lovastatin acid concentrations by non-compartment methods.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- The incidence rate of adverse event [ Time Frame: 1 weeks ]The incidence rate of adverse event

Detailed Description:
This study is two-ways crossover design. The subjects will receive a dose of four 600 mg LipoCol Forte Capsules or 20 mg Mevacor Tablet in fasted state in the morning. There is a minimum of a 6-days washout period before crossover of treatments.
Each subject will be admitted before administration of the investigational product in each period. Study responsible personnel will give the subjects a single tablet or four capsules in fasted state in the morning. The blood samples will be drawn prior to the dosing, and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 hours after the dosing.
Observations will be conducted up to 12 hours after the dosing. If no particular health abnormalities are observed in each period, the subjects will be discharged on 12 hours after the dosing.

- A known hypersensitivity to statins or their analogs.
- Permanent confinement to an institution.
- Individuals are judged by the investigator or co-investigator to be undesirable as subjects for other reasons.
