2. Hematocrit < 35% or > 50%

6. Poorly controlled blood pressure as defined by Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) >150 or Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) > 90 on two separate measurements

7. Concurrent use of any prohibited medications that can affect testosterone levels or metabolism.

8. History of seizures or convulsions, including febrile, alcohol or drug withdrawal seizures.
