Drug Interaction Study of Simvastatin and Dabigatran

A Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Simvastatin on the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Dabigatran in Healthy Male Adults

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of simvastatin on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of dabigatran in healthy male adults

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of dabigatran without coadministration of simvastatin will be compared with those after multiple administration of simvastatin.
