History of allergic reactions to heparin, propranolol, or other related drugs. Use of any drugs known to induce or inhibit hepatic drug metabolism (examples of inducers: barbiturates, carbamazepine, phenytoin,glucocorticoids , omerprazole; examples of inhibitors: antidepressants (SSRI), cimetidine, diltiazem, macrolides, imidazoles, neuroleptics, verapamil, fluoroquinolones, antihistamines) within 30 days prior to administration of the study medication. Use of an investigational drug or participation in an investigational study within 30 days prior to administration of the study medication. Clinically significant history or presence of any clinically significant gastrointestinal pathology (e.g. chronic diarrhea, inflammatory bowel diseases), unresolved gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. diarrhea, vomiting), liver or kidney disease, or other conditions known as interface with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the drug. Any clinically significant history or presence of clinically significant neurological, endocrinal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, psychiatric, or metabolic disease. Use of prescription medication within 14 days prior to administration of a study medication or over the counter products (including natural food supplements, vitamins, garlic as a supplement) within 7 days prior to administration of study medication, except for topical products without systemic absorption and hormonal contraceptive. Difficulty to swallow study medication. Use of any tobacco products in the 6 months proceeding drug administration. Any food allergy, intolerance, restriction or special diet that, in the opinion of the Medical Sub- Investigator, could contraindicate the subject's participation in this study. A depot injection or an implant of any drug (other than contraceptives) within 3 months prior to administration of study medication. Donation of plasma (500 Ml) within 7 days to drug administration. Donation or loss of whole blood (excluding the volume of blood drawn during the screening procedures of this study) prior to administration of the study medication as follows. 50mL to 300mL of whole blood within 30 days, 301 mL to 500 ml of whole blood within 45days or more than 500 mL of whole blood within 56 days prior to drug administration..
