• Unable to take oral medications
• Hypersensitivity or previous intolerance to any of the study drugs
• Current or planned use of medications that have unacceptable drug-drug interactions with any of the study drugs during study treatment

Más betegség

• Suspected or proven central nervous system tuberculosis
• Suspected or proven bone tuberculosis
• Clinically significant ECG abnormality in the opinion of the site investigator, including but not limited to second or third degree atrioventricular (AV) block, prolongation of the QRS complex over 120 ms (in both male and female participants), or clinically important arrhythmia
• Current clinically relevant cardiovascular disorder in the opinion of the site investigator, including but not limited to heart failure, coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, or tachyarrhythmia
• History of aortic aneurysm or dissection
• Hepatic cirrhosis or other serious liver disease
• Other medical conditions, that, in the investigator's judgment, make study participation not in the individual's best interest.
