Subject has a rash, dermatologic condition or tattoos which may interfere with injection site reaction rating.
Evidence of substance (alcohol or drug) abuse or of neurological or psychiatric diagnoses which, even if clinically stable, are deemed by the investigator to render the potential subject unable/unlikely to provide accurate safety reports.
Subjects with abnormal laboratory results at screening:(1) ALT or AST > or = 1 x upper limit of normal (ULN). (2) Creatinine > or = 1 x ULN. (3) Any significant laboratory abnormality as judged by the investigator
