- Female hormone replacement therapy (or other medicine containing estrogen, including health food products for menopausal symptoms, as these may contain natural estrogens), within 2 weeks prior to the first administration of IMP.
- Participation in another study with an experimental drug, where the last administration of the previous IMP was within 8 weeks before the first administration of IMP in this study.
