Therapeutic equivalence
This classification is given to drugs that meet certain criteria. The drugs must be proven to be safe and effective and they must be deemed as pharmaceutically equivalent. This means that identical amounts of active drug are present. The dosage form and route must also be the same. Standards of strength purity and quality must be met. Bioequivalence must also be proven. According to FDA, this is complete through testing to prove the drugs have similar rate of absorption under similar conditions and dosage parameters. Therapeutic equivalence can be checked by looking at the Approved Drug Product with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluation which is commonly referred to as the orange book. This publication is the US food and drug administration official listing for prescription, over the counter, biologic, military, discontinued, or otherwise never marketed drugs.
