Inclusion Criteria
  • Healthy female subject based on a complete medical history, physical examination, ECG, and clinical laboratory tests

  • Age: 45 to 70 years (inclusive) at the first screening visit

  • Postmenopausal state, revealed indicated by either:

    • medical history, if applicable (natural menopause at least 12 months prior to first study drug administration, for women younger than 60 years confirmed by follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) >40 IU/L AND estradiol ≤ 20 pg/mL; or
    • surgical menopause by bilateral ovariectomy at least 3 months prior to first study drug administration)
Exclusion Criteria
  • Relevant diseases within the last 4 weeks prior to the first study drug administration, i.e. any disease requiring treatment by a health-care provider
  • Febrile illness within 1 week before the first study drug administration
  • Known severe allergies, non-allergic drug reactions, or multiple drug allergies
  • Presence or history of thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, thromboembolic diseases of veins and/or arteries, e.g. deep vein thrombosis, stroke, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, transient ischemic attack, angina pectoris
  • Presence or history of conditions that increase the risk of thromboembolic diseases, e.g. disturbances of the coagulation system, thromboembolic diseases in close relatives at age ≤50 years], valvular heart disease, atrial fibrillation, cardiac dysfunction)
  • Presence, history, or suspected presence of malignant tumors or tumors of the liver and pituitary
  • Presence or history of liver disease e.g. disturbances of the bilirubin excretion (Dubin-Johnson and Rotor syndromes), cholecystectomy ; cholestasis, idiopathic icterus or pruritus during a previous pregnancy or estrogen-progestogen treatment
  • Relevant kidney diseases or renal injury associated with multisystem diseases/disorders, e.g. glomerulonephritis systemic lupus erythematous, diabetic nephropathy. A history of a single episode of uncomplicated nephrolithiasis does not prevent participation
  • Known metabolic disorder, e.g. diabetes mellitus, severe hypertriglyceridemia
  • Migraine with neurologic symptoms
