Bioequivalence Study

A bioequivalence study tests whether two different forms of a medication, such as a brand-name drug and its generic version, have similar effects in the body. This involves giving healthy volunteers either version of the drug and measuring how much and how quickly it enters the bloodstream. If the results show that the two medications act the same way in terms of effectiveness and safety, they are considered bioequivalent. This process helps ensure that generics can be trusted to work as well as the original medications, providing patients with effective and affordable treatment options.
