• Participant has any of the following: poorly controlled asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute severe pain, uncontrolled with conventional medical management, active peptic ulcer disease, Parkinson disease, Myasthenia gravis, a history of seizure disorder requiring medications for control or participant has any surgical or medical condition that may interfere with drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the study treatment.
• Participant has known anuria, oliguria, or severe impairment of renal function (creatinine clearance <30 milliliter per minute [mL/min] or clinically significant elevated serum creatinine as determined by the investigator).
• Participant in the judgment of the investigator, would not be able or willing to comply with the protocol or complete study follow-up.
• Participant has a serious underlying disease that could be imminently life threatening, or the participant is unlikely to survive for the duration of the study period.
• Participant has congenital long QT syndrome or known prolongation of corrected QT interval (QTc).
• Participant has uncompensated heart failure.
• Participant has severe left ventricular hypertrophy.
• Participant has a family history of QT prolongation or sudden death.
• Participant has a recent history of vasovagal syncope or episodes of symptomatic bradycardia or bradyarrhythmia within the last 12 months.
• The participant is taking QT-prolonging drugs or drugs known to increase the risk of torsades de pointes (TdP) per the www.crediblemeds.org "Known Risk of TdP" category at the time of his or her Baseline Visit, which cannot be safely discontinued from the Baseline Visit to the TOC Visit; or the participant is taking a strong cytochrome P450 enzyme 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitor or a strong P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor.
• For any participant >=12 to <18 years, the participant has an abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) reading.
• The participant has a QTc >450 millisecond (msec) or a QTc >480 msec for participants with bundle-branch block.

• Participant has a known bilirubin value >1.5 times ULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5 times ULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%).
• Participant has a current or chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones), including symptomatic viral hepatitis or moderate-to-severe liver insufficiency (Child Pugh class B or C).

• Participant has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer.
• Participant has any of the following gonococcal infections that require a different dose or duration of treatment: suspected or confirmed pelvic inflammatory disease; or suspected or confirmed gonococcal arthritis; or suspected or confirmed gonococcal conjunctivitis; or suspected or confirmed gonococcal endocarditis; or other evidence of disseminated gonococcal infection.
• Participant has received any antibacterial therapy for the treatment of a gonococcal infection within 14 days before the Baseline Visit.
• Participant has received any systemic, topical, or intravaginal antibiotics or any systemic antifungals within 7 days before the Baseline Visit.
