  3. Any history of drug or other significant allergy.
  4. Likely to need any treatment (including dental care) during the study period.
  5. Donation of one or more units of blood within 90 days prior to the screening.
  6. Use of any prescription or over-the-counter medication within 14 days prior to admission on Day-1 (not including paracetamol in the range of 1gr/day). In addition any medications with central effects are prohibited for a period equal to 5 x half-life prior to admission (Day-1), should this period be longer than 14 days.
  7. Alcohol consumption > 40 g alcohol/day (1 glass (25 cl) of beer with 3° of alcohol = 7.5 g, or 1 glass (25 cl) of beer with 6° of alcohol = 15 g, or 1 glass (12.5 cl) of wine with 10° of alcohol = 12 g, or 1 glass (4cl) of aperitif with 42° of alcohol = 17 g).
  8. Positive alcotest at screening and Day -1 .
  9. Positive test result on hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody.
  10. Positive test result on HIV 1 and 2 serology.
