Acceptable methods for this study are: intrauterine device, condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical or vault caps) with spermicide, true abstinence or vasectomized male partner, provided that he is the sole partner of that subject).
• Able to participate, and willing to give written ICF and comply with the study restrictions.

You may not qualify if:

• Subjects with clinically significant findings in laboratory tests, particularly any abnormality in the coagulation tests, or any abnormality in the kidney function tests especially creatinine above 1.2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and/or liver function tests (alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\], aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\],) above 1.25 x ULN confirmed by two repeated measurements, when it is checked during the screening laboratory tests.
• Subjects with a history of relevant atopy or drug hypersensitivity.
• Subjects with a history of alcoholism and/or drug abuse.
• Consumption of more than 14 units of alcohol per week \[1 unit of alcohol = 280 ml beer (3-4°) = 100 ml wine (10-12°) = 30 ml spirits (40°)\].
• Subjects with a significant infection or known inflammatory process at screening or admission to each treatment period.
• Subjects with acute gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn) at the time of screening or admission to each treatment period.
• Use of medicines within 2 weeks prior to the planned first drug administration that may affect the safety or other study assessments, in the investigator's opinion (excluding single use of up to 1000 mg paracetamol).
• Use of any investigational drug or participation in any clinical trial within 30 days or 10 half-life, whatever is longer, prior to the planned first drug administration.
