- History of peptic ulcer, gastro-esophageal reflux, or gastrointestinal bleeding.
- History of advanced renal impairment or a risk for renal failure due to volume depletion.
- Clinically significant (in the Investigator's opinion) laboratory test value outside the normal range.
- Use of either (a) oxycodone at a dose of 30 mg/day or more or (b) an equivalent dose of another opioid analgesic for a total of more than half of the days during the preceding month.
- The patient requires regular use (daily use in at least 25 days per month) in the 3 months prior to surgery of NSAIDs, COX2 inhibitors, tramadol, or acetaminophen at a daily dose of more than 2 g for the management of pain.
- Contraindication to the use of morphine, general anesthetics, bupivacaine, ropivacaine, lidocaine, other local anesthetics, muscle relaxants, hydrocodone, ondansetron, or acetaminophen (eg, significant history of allergic reactions or intolerance to these or related substances).

- History of drug, prescription medicine, or alcohol abuse that would interfere with the subject's safety or the assessments of efficacy in this trial, in the judgement of the investigator.
- History of nasal mucosal damage or active seasonal allergies, nasal congestion, or upper respiratory tract infection sufficient to interfere with intranasal drug delivery.
- Administration of an investigational product within 3 months prior to the first dose of study drug, or scheduled to receive an investigational product, while participating in the study.
