5. Lactating or pregnant females or females planning to become pregnant during study conduct or within 2 months after end of study

6. Any contraindications which are indicated in the topically valid SPC for Plavix®: severe hepatic impairment; active pathological bleeding such as peptic ulcer or intracranial hemorrhage

   Lack of suitability for the trial:

7. Any evidence of a significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, endocrinological, metabolic or other disease at screening
8. History of malignancy
9. Any clinically relevant deviation in clinical or laboratory assessment
10. ECG abnormalities of clinical relevance, in particular abnormal prolongations of QT/QTc-interval (i.e. QTc ≥ 450 ms, PQ ≥ 220 ms)
11. Systolic blood pressure \<95 mmHg or >150 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \< 50 mmHg or >90 mmHg in supine position
12. Pulse rate \<45 or >100 beats per minute
13. Chronic or acute clinically relevant infections
14. Acute or chronic disease, especially psychiatric or neurologic disorders
15. History of alcohol or drug dependence
16. Alcohol consumption averaging more than 40 g for male and more than 20 g for female subjects daily within the last year
17. Regular caffeine consumption averaging more than 1 L of coffee and/or tea daily or more than 1 L of caffeine-containing lemonades per day within the last year
18. Disorders or surgery of the gastrointestinal tract which may interfere with drug absorption or may otherwise influence the pharmacokinetics of the investigational medicinal products (e.g. cholecystectomy, ulcus, etc.)
19. Anticipated donation of spermatocytes or oocytes for medically assisted reproduction techniques [ART] within two months after the last dose of the present study
