11. Subjects must agree to use acceptable methods of contraception:

oIf their female partners are pregnant or lactating acceptable methods of contraception from the time of the first administration of study medication until 3 months following administration of the last dose of study medication must be used. Acceptable methods are: Condom used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository. If the subject has undergone surgical sterilization (vasectomy with documentation of azospermia) a condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository should be used. oIf the male subject's partner could become pregnant, use acceptable methods of contraception from the time of the first administration of study medication until 3 months following administration of the last dose of study medication. Acceptable methods of contraception are as follows: Condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository [i.e. barrier method of contraception], surgical sterilization (vasectomy with documentation of azospermia) and a barrier method {condom used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository}, the female partner uses oral contraceptives (combination estrogen/progesterone pills), injectable progesterone or subdermal implants and a barrier method {condom used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository}. oIf the female partner has undergone documented tubal ligation (female sterilization), a barrier method {condom used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository} should also be used. oIf the female partner has undergone documented placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) and a barrier method {condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository} should also be used.
