Q

A test oral formulation has the same area under the plasma concentration-time curve as the reference formulation. This means that the two formulations…
A) are bioequivalent by definition- related to AUC
B) deliver the same total amount of drug to the body but are not necessarily bioequivalent
C) are bioequivalent if they both meet USP dissolution standards
D) deliver the same total amount of drug to the body and are, therefore, bioequivalent
E) have the same rate of absorption

A

B) deliver the same total amount of drug to the body but are not necessarily bioequivalent because the rate may be different (if the rate is dif. Then they may not be considered bioequivalent)

Q

T/F Urinary Excretion studies increase and then decrease.

Q

When a cumulative excretion graph plateaus, what does this mean?

A

all the drug is out of the body; time to plateau is related to the rate of absorption

Q

Potassium Penicillin G was given IV to volunteers, 80% of a 500mg dose was recovered unchanged in the urine. 280 mg was recovered in urine when the same dose was given IM to the same subjects. Calculate the availability of the IM injection. What type of availability is this?

A

F = 280/400 = 0.70; absolute

Q

urinary excretion studies are used for.. (2)

A
  • drugs extensively eliminated in the urine

- drug where UT is site of action

21
Q

For valid estimates in the urinary excretion studies… (3)

A
  • excretion to extent of greater than 25%
  • analysis must be specific for unchanged drug
  • complete urine collection
22
Q

_____ the study design usually used for bioavailability/ bioequivalence testing

A

crossover design (typically single dose study)

23
Q

Crossover designs have a period known as wash out period…what does this mean?

A

allows time for all the drug from the first round to be completely out of the system before administering the next

24
Q

______ proof of bioequivalence is required for generic products

A

reference product

25
Q

the reference is the _____ product. What does the reference product have to have?

A

innovator: NDA (new dug application) have to show efficacy and safety

26
Q

Bioequivalence criteria?

A

you want EVERYTHING to be the same–> to show that the PRODUCT is the reason for any differences in the outcome

27
Q

______ or ____ are used for bioequivalence testing

A

90% confidence interval or two, one sided t-test

28
Q

90% confidence interval or two, one sided t test:

  • Bioequivalent if entire range is between _____ and _____
  • testing the ____
  • Need to be ____ close to each other
A
  • 0.80 and 1.25
  • AUC
  • 20%
29
Q

Cmax and Tmax are used for the bioequivalence, but….

A

they are not as strict

30
Q

Who completes the bioequivalent studies?

A

the company trying to get it on the market

31
Q

Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations=

A

Orange Book

32
Q

____ code are therapeutically equivalent

A

A

33
Q

Therapeutically equivalent =

A

bioequivalent (similar rate and extent of absorption)

34
Q

T/F Therapeutic effect is tested in the Orange Book

A

FALSE: NOT

35
Q

RLD abbreviation?

A

reference listed drug

36
Q

B codes

A

NOT therapeutically equivalent

37
Q

______ is the rate and extent to which the active ingredient or active moiety is absorbed from a drug product and becomes available at the site of action

A

bioavailability

38
Q

For drug products that ARE not intended to be absorbed in to the blood stream bioavailability…..

A

may be assessed by measurements intended to reflect rate and extent

39
Q

____ is the absence of a significant difference in the rate at which or extent to which the active ingredient is pharmaceutical equivalent or alternative becomes

A

bioequivalence

40
Q

T/F A product may also be considered bioequivalent to an innovator product if the difference in rate of absorption of the drug between the two products is intentional

A

TRUE

41
Q

_____ a finished dosage form that contains an active ingredient

A

drug product

42
Q

narrow therapeutic index.: there is less than ____ difference in median lethal dose and median effective dose values for a drug product

A

2-fold

43
Q

To safely and effectively use drug products with narrow therapeutic index require (2)

A
  • careful dosage titration

- patient monitoring

44
Q

______ drug products that contain the SAME active ingredient, are of the same dosage form, route of administration and are identical in strength

A

pharmaceutical equivalents

45
Q

T/F pharmaceutical equivalents are NOT allowed to differ in shape, scoring configuration, excipients, release mechanism

A

FALSE: are (they can not differ in strength, quality, purity and identity)

46
Q

________ drug products contain the same THERAPEUTIC MOIETY, but different SALTS, ESTERS, or complexes of that moiety

A

pharmaceutical alternatives

47
Q

T/F Different dosage forms and strengths within a product line by a single manufacturer are thus pharmaceutical alternatives

A

TRUE

48
Q

Therapeutic equivalents are expected to have the same ____ and ______ when administered to patients under the conditions specified in the labeling

A

clinical effect and safety profile
