7. Contraception
?Female patient of childbearing potential (entering the study after a menstrual period and who has a negative pregnancy test), who agrees to use a highly effective method of contraception and an acceptable method of contraception by her male partner during the study and for 3 months after the last treatment intake.
? Male patient with a female partner of childbearing potential who agrees to use a highly effective method of contraception and an acceptable method of contraception by his female partner during the study and for 3 months after the last treatment intake OR who agrees to use an acceptable method of contraception and a highly effective method of contraception by his female partner during the study and for 3 months after the last treatment intake.
? Highly effective methods of contraception include:

c.Intrauterine device (IUD)
d.Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)
e.Bilateral tubal occlusion

g.Sexual abstinence (Its reliability should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient)
?Acceptable methods of contraception include:
a.Progestogen-only oral hormonal contraception, where inhibition of ovulation is not the primary mode of action
b.Male or female condom with or without spermicide
c.Cap, diaphragm or sponge with spermicide
