Acetaminophen (up to 2 grams per 24-hour period) may be permitted
  2. Any drugs known to be significant inducers of Cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A (CYP3A) enzymes and/or P-gp, including St. John's Wort
  3. Any medications that prolong the QT/QTc interval, unless the participant has been stable on the medication for at least 3 months and has a corrected QT interval (QTc) <450 msec

• Currently taking simvastatin >10 mg per day, atorvastatin >20 mg per day, or lovastatin >20 mg per day, or have a history of statin-induced myopathy/rhabdomyolysis
