-Double barrier method: condom, cervical cap or diaphragm with spermicidal agent
-Transdermal contraceptive patch
-Male partner who is sterile prior to the female subject’s entry into study and is the sole sexual partner for the female subject.
4. Male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential must use adequate and
highly effective methods of contraception such as double-barrier method, from screening until 1 month after their last dose of study drug.
5. Symptomatic presumptive influenza A or B infection defined as the presence of:
a. a fever of ≥38.0°C (≥100.4 ºF) at the screening visit OR a history of fever
within the 24 hours prior to the screening visit and has administered antipyretic(s) in the 6 hours prior to the screening visit.
b. AND
c. ≥1 moderate systemic symptom (headache, feeling feverish, body aches and pains, and fatigue)
AND
d. ≥1 moderate respiratory symptom (cough, sore throat and nasal congestion)
6. Onset of illness no more than 40 hours prior to randomization. Onset of illness is defined as the time, the first of any one of the following, occurred:
a. time when the subjects’ temperature was measured as elevated (≥38.0°C (≥100.4ºF).
OR
b. time when the subject first experienced at least one respiratory symptom (cough, sore throat and nasal congestion).
OR
c. time when the subject first experienced at least one systemic symptom (headache, feeling feverish, body aches and pains, and fatigue).

7. Current use of inhaled medications (nasal or oral) or anticipated use of inhaled medications (nasal or oral) at any time during the study.
8. Current or a history of acute or chronic renal impairment requiring hemodialysis and/or a known or calculated creatinine clearance (CLCR) of <60 mL/min.
9. Presence of clinically significant abnormalities on ECG at screening which, in the investigator´s clinical judgment, may affect either the subject’s ability to participate in the study or the study results.
10. History or presence of any clinical condition or evidence of organ dysfunction on examination which, in the opinion of the investigator, may affect either the subject’s ability to participate in the study or the study results.
11. Currently hospitalized or any planned hospitalizations within 1 month following the last dose of study drug.
12. Current clinical evidence of otitis, bronchitis, sinusitis, pneumonia or active bacterial infection at any body site, that requires treatment with oral or parenteral antibiotics.
13. Documented or reported (known) history of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, TB or HIV infection
