             than or equal to 1 year) who are at risk of becoming pregnant must agree to practice

             Fahrenheit), medical history to ensure stable* medical condition and a targeted
             physical examination based on medical history. (*A stable medical condition is defined
             as no recent change in prescription medication, dose, or frequency of medication in
             the last 3 months and health outcomes of the specific disease are considered to be
             within acceptable limits in the last 6 months. Any change that is due to change of
             health care provider, insurance company, etc, or is done for financial reasons, as
             long as in the same class of medication, will not be considered a violation of the
             inclusion criterion. Any change to prescription medication due to improvement of a
             disease outcome will not be considered a violation of the inclusion criterion.)
