  • Diseases of the central nervous system (such as epilepsy) or psychiatric disorders or neurological disorders
  • History of orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells or blackouts
  • Chronic or relevant acute infections
  • History of allergy/hypersensitivity (including drug allergy) which is deemed relevant to the trial as judged by the investigator
  • Intake of drugs with a long half-life (> 24 hours) within at least one month or less than ten half-lives of the respective drug before enrolment in the study or during the study
  • Use of any drugs which might influence the results of the trial up to 7 days prior to enrolment in the study or during the study
  • Participation in another trial with an investigational drug (<= two months prior to administration or during the trial)
  • Smoker (> 10 cigarettes or > 3 cigars of > 3 pipes/day)
