Acceptable contraceptive methods, when used consistently and in accordance with both the product label and the instructions of the physician, are as follows:
• An intrauterine device with a documented failure rate of less than 1% per year.
• Vasectomised partner who is sterile prior to the female subject’s entry and is the sole sexual partner for that female.
• Complete abstinence from sexual intercourse for 14 days before exposure to the investigational product, through the dosing period, and for at least 21 days after the last dose of investigational product.
• Double-barrier contraception (condom with spermicidal jelly, foam suppository, or film; diaphragm with spermicide; or male condom and diaphragm with spermicide).
14. Female subjects who are lactating should discontinue nursing prior to the first dose of study drug and should refrain from nursing throughout the treatment period and for 14 days following the last dose of study drug.
