Exam 4 Flashcards
The relative amount of an administered dose that reaches the general circulation and the rate at which this occurs
Bioavailability
A requirement imposed by the FDA for in-vitro and or Invivo testing of specified drug products, which must be satisfied as a condition for marketing
Bioequivalence Requirement
Term used to describe pharmaceutical equivalent or pharmaceutical alternative products that display comparable bioavailability when studied under similar experimental conditions
Bioequivalent drug
Drug products that contain the same therapeutic moeity but as different salts, esters, or complexes
Different dosage forms and strengths within a product line are?
They are not?
Pharmaceutical alternatives
They arent interchangable
Drug products in identical dosage forms that contain the same active ingredient but may differ in characteristics such as shape, scoring, packing, expiration time
Pharmaceutical equivalent
The process of dispensing a pharmaceutical alternative for the prescribed drug product. For example, ampicillin suspension is dispensed in place of tetracycline
Pharmaceutical substitution
Considered to be _____ only if they are pharmaceutical equivalents and can be expected to produce the same clinical effect and safety profile when administered to patient under the conditions specified in the labeling
Therapeutic equivalent
This involves dispensing a therapeutic alternative in place of the prescribed drug
Example: Amoxicillin in place of ampicillin or ibuprofen in place of naproxen
Can also occur when an NDA approved drug is substituted for the same drug, which has been approved by a different NDA
Nicoderm for nicotrol
Therapeutic substitution
The fraction absorbed from an oral, IM or SC formulation may be determined by calculating the AUC obtained from IV bolus injection as compared to the AUC achieved from the same dose given orally (IM or SC) to the same subject
Fabs
Fabs=?
Amount absorbed from the non-IV route
/
Amount absorbed from the IV route
The amount of drug absorbed from one drug product as compared to recognized standard
Relative Oral bioavailability
equation for relative bioavailability
This make also be used to determine relative availability as long as the total amount of intact drug is collected
Urinary excretion data
Can be used as an approximate indication of drug absorption rate
Tmax
- Often related to pharmacodynamic effect
- Often used in bioequivalence studies as a measure for the rate of drug bioavailability
Cmax
