If dosing is scheduled on weekends, serum should be collected within 24 hours prior to dosing of each study period. An additional serum (β-HCG) pregnancy test will be performed upon completion of the study.

3. total hysterectomy

4. During the course of the study, from study screen until study exit - including the washout period, women of childbearing potential must use a spermicide containing barrier method of contraception in addition to their current contraceptive device.

4. All subjects should be judged normal and healthy during a pre-study medical evaluation (physical examination, laboratory evaluation, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV tests, 12-lead ECG, and urine drug screen including amphetamine, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoid, cocaine, opiates, phencyclidine, and methadone) performed within 14 days of the initial dose of study medication.

6. Donation or loss of a significant volume of blood or plasma (> 450 mL) within 28 days prior to the initial dose of study medication.

7. Subjects who have received an investigational drug within 30 days prior to the initial dose of study medication.
