9. Must be able to understand study procedures and be willing to comply and give informed
consent for the conduct of all study procedures, using an IRB approved consent
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating in the
study:
1. Have a contraindication or be allergic to any medication to be used during the trial
period

confound the assessments of post-operative pain
3. Have a history of migraine or frequent headaches, seizures, or are currently taking
anticonvulsants
4. Currently taking analgesics for a chronically painful condition, or has taken long
acting opioids within 3 days of surgery, or taken any opioids within 24 hours of
surgery
5. Previous abdominal surgery, as determined by the investigator, that would preclude
participation in the study
6. Subjects that require liposuction as part of the abdominoplasty procedure in Part A of
the protocol
7. Subjects that are to have ancillary procedures performed during the abdominoplasty
surgery that are unrelated to the abdominal area (breast reduction, breast
augmentation, etc.)
8. Subjects unable to discontinue medications that have not been at a stable dose for at
least 14 days prior to the scheduled abdominoplasty procedure and before dosing with
investigational product
9. Subjects taking the following medications; anticonvulsants, sedatives (including
benzodiazepines) corticosteroids (by any means of administration), nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) within 24 hours of study drug dosing, morphine,

randomized, not treated.
