5. Baseline FSH and 17β-estradiol serum levels consistent with postmenopausal status confirmed within 72 hours of initiation of study medication (FSH greater than or equal to 40 mIU/mL; 17β-estradiol less than or equal to 31 pg/mL).
6. All subjects should be judged normal and healthy during a pre-study medical evaluation (physical examination, laboratory evaluation, 12-lead ECG, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV tests, and urine drug screen including amphetamine, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoid, cocaine, opiates, phencyclidine, and methadone) performed within 21 days of the initial dose of study medication.
7. The physical examination shall include pelvic and breast exams.

1. Pelvic findings should be consistent with hypoestrogenemia.
2. A mammogram will be required if not performed within the last 12 months.
3. A Papanicolaou ("Pap") smear will be required on subjects with an intact uterus and cervix if not performed within the last 6 months.

Endometrial hyperplasia.
2. Acute illness at the time of either the pre-study medical evaluation or dosing.
3. A positive HIV, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C test.
5. Abnormal and clinically significant laboratory test results:

1. Clinically significant deviation from the Guide to Clinically Relevant Abnormalities (See Part II ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF BIOEQUIVALENCE PROTOCOLS).
2. Abnormal and clinically relevant ECG tracing.
6. Donation or loss of a significant volume of blood or plasma (\> 450 mL) within 28 days prior to the initial dose of study medication.
7. Subjects who have received an investigational drug within 30 days prior to the initial dose of study medication.
