Inclusion criteria
* Voluntarily provide written informed consent. * Male or female between 18 and 75 years of age, inclusive. * Be scheduled to undergo elective abdominoplasty surgery without collateral procedures. * Be American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical class 1 or 2. * Female subject are eligible only if all the following apply: * Not pregnant; * Not lactating; * Not planning to become pregnant during the study; * Commit to the use of an acceptable form of birth control for the duration of the study. * Have a body mass index ≤35 kg/m2 * Be able to understand the study procedures, comply with all study procedures, and agree to participate in the study program.
Exclusion criteria

Pain intensity was recorded using a Numeric Pain Rating Scale (Range 0-10) where 0 equates to no pain (better), and 10 equates to the worst pain imaginable (worse). Pain intensity scores were to be recorded at the following time points: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, and 2 hours post Dose 1. Thereafter pain assessments were to be recorded every 2 hours until 48 hours post Dose 1. Pain intensity differences from baseline at each time point were calculated and a time weighted summed pain intensity difference (SPID) was then calculated. Time weighted SPID calculations were computed by multiplying a weight factor to each score prior to summation. The weight factor at each time point was the time elapsed since the previous observation. A smaller SPID value (i.e. more negative) was better.

Time to perceptible and meaningful pain relief was measured using the double stopwatch method. For each randomized subject, two stopwatches were started immediately after administration of the first study dose (Hour 0). The subject was to stop the first watch when they first perceived pain relief to occur (time to perceptible relief). Once the first watch was stopped, the second stopwatch was given to the subject with the instructions to stop the watch when they first experienced meaningful pain relief (time to meaningful relief).
