Sample	% Recovery ± SD
Sample	Initial time method	Fixed rate method	Reference method [4]
Fluvastatin 20
Mean ± SD^a	101.13 ± 1.69	101.47 ± 1.48	101.18 ± 1.22
RSD%	1.67	1.46	1.20
t-test	1.72	2.04	1.84
F-test	1.92	1.47
Almastatin 40
Mean ± SD^a	101.29 ± 2.07	100.98 ± 1.95	100.19 ± 1.76
RSD%	2.04	1.93	1.75
t-test	1.48	1.77	1.36
