Exclusion Criteria
  • Any clinically significant disease. (A significant disease is defined as a disease which in the opinion of the investigator may either put the subject at risk because of participation in the study or a disease which may influence the results of the study or the subject's ability to participate in the study)

  • Resting, seated blood pressure less than 90/60 mmHg
  • Participation in any drug clinical trial within sixteen weeks prior to the start of the trial
  • Any indication of current or previous abuse of alcohol, solvents or drugs
  • Any chronic illness
  • Asthma
  • Requirement for any other medication one month before or during the study
