Due to acute cholecystitis (n=1), groin abscess and cellulitis (n=1), acute adrenocortical insufficiency (n=1), and presyncope (n=1). All serious TEAEs were assessed by the investigator as unlikely related to study treatment.

Due to dyspepsia, nausea and vomiting (n=1), gastric ulcer (n=1), apathy and restlessness (n=1), and rash (n=1). All adverse events that started in the double-blind period and resulted in study treatment discontinuation (regardless of when the subject discontinued study treatment) are presented. Only 1 adverse event that started in the double-blind period resulted in study treatment discontinuation during the double-blind period (gastric ulcer).

Maximum severity, as judged by the study investigator.
