You may not qualify if:

• ny of the following was regarding as a criterion for excluding subjects from the trial:
• Hypersensitivity to morphine sulfate (MS Contin®), naltrexone (ReVia®), or related compounds.
• Conditions that affected the absorption, metabolism, or passage of drugs out of the body (eg, sprue, celiac disease, Crohn's disease, colitis, liver, kidney, or thyroid conditions).
• Recent history (within 1 year) of mental illness, drug addiction, drug abuse, or alcoholism.
• A hematocrit value of ≤ 33.0% for females and ≤ 37.0% for males.
• Donation of \> 500 mL of blood in the past 8 weeks prior to study drug dosing or difficulty in donating blood.
• Receipt of an investigational drug within the 4 weeks prior to study drug dosing.
• Current use of any systemic prescription medications, except for oral/cutaneous/vaginal/injectable hormone contraceptives, within the 7 days prior to study drug dosing or over-the-counter (OTC) medication within 3 days of study drug dosing.
• This prohibition did not include vitamins or herbal preparations taken as nutritional supplements for non-therapeutic indications, as judged by the attending physician.
• Any nonprescription medication consumption reported was to be reviewed by the investigator prior to dosing. At the discretion of the investigator, these volunteers could be enrolled if the medication was not anticipated to alter study integrity or the safety of the subject.
• Regular smoking of more than 5 cigarettes weekly or the regular daily use of nicotine containing products beginning 3 months before study drug administration through the final evaluation.
• Subjects had to be able to refrain from smoking while confined in the clinic.
• Female subjects who were lactating or had a positive pregnancy test at Screening and prior to each of the treatment periods.
• Females were to use a medically acceptable method of contraception throughout the entire study period and for 1 week after study completion. Medically acceptable methods of contraception that could have been used by the subject and/or her partner were oral contraceptives/patches, progestin injection or implants, condom with spermicide, diaphragm with spermicide, intrauterine device (IUD), vaginal spermicidal or hormonal suppository, surgical sterilization of themselves or their partner(s), or abstinence. Females using contraceptive medications/devices must have used them consistently for at least 3 months prior to receiving study drug.
