  • Abnormal LFTs (ALT > 2.5 x ULN, bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN)
  • Positive blood screen for HIV-1 and 2 antibodies
  • Positive blood screen for hepatitis B or C antibodies
  • Current or recent (within 3 months) gastrointestinal disease
  • Clinically relevant alcohol or drug use or history of alcohol or drug use that will hinder compliance with treatment, follow up procedures or evaluation of adverse effects
  • Use of proton pump inhibitors
  • Exposure to any investigational drug or placebo within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug
  • Consumption of grapefruit and oranges or products containing grapefruit or oranges within 1 week of first study drug and for the duration of the study
  • Use of any other drugs including over-the-counter medications and herbal preparations, within 2 weeks prior to first dose of study drug
