  • Generic-Reference and Generic-Generic Bioequivalence of Forty-Two, Randomly-Selected, On-Market Generic Products of Fourteen
    Hammami et al. BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology (2017) 18:78 DOI 10.1186/s40360-017-0182-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Generic-reference and generic-generic bioequivalence of forty-two, randomly- selected, on-market generic products of fourteen immediate-release oral drugs Muhammad M. Hammami1,2* , Sophia J. S. De Padua1, Rajaa Hussein1, Eman Al Gaai1, Nesrine A. Khodr1, Reem Al-Swayeh1, Syed N. Alvi1 and Nada Binhashim1 Abstract Background: The extents of generic-reference and generic-generic average bioequivalence and intra-subject variation of on-market drug products have not been prospectively studied on a large scale. Methods: We assessed bioequivalence of 42 generic products of 14 immediate-release oral drugs with the highest number of generic products on the Saudi market. We conducted 14 four-sequence, randomized, crossover studies on the reference and three randomly-selected generic products of amlodipine, amoxicillin, atenolol, cephalexin, ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin, diclofenac, ibuprofen, fluconazole, metformin, metronidazole, paracetamol, omeprazole, and ranitidine. Geometric mean ratios of maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-the-concentration-time-curve, to last measured concentration (AUCT), extrapolated to infinity (AUCI), or truncated to Cmax time of reference product (AUCReftmax)were calculated using non-compartmental method and their 90% confidence intervals (CI) were compared to the 80.00%–125. 00% bioequivalence range. Percentages of individual ratios falling outside the ±25% range were also determined. Results: Mean (SD) age and body-mass-index of 700 healthy volunteers (28–80/study) were 32.2 (6.2) years and 24.4 (3.2) 2 kg/m , respectively. In 42 generic-reference comparisons, 100% of AUCT and AUCI CIs showed bioequivalence, 9.5% of Cmax CIs barely failed to show bioequivalence, and 66.7% of AUCReftmax CIs failed to show bioequivalence/showed bioinequivalence.

Bioavailability example For most medicines that are taken orally, the active A hypothetical drug given orally has a bioavailability of 50% ingredients are released in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract (or 0.5), this is due to: and arrive at their site of action via the systemic circulation. 1. incomplete absorption in the GI tract so that only Blood concentrations of the active ingredients and/or 70% of the initial dose is absorbed. their active metabolites thereby provide a marker for the concentration at the site of action and a valid measure of 2. subsequent metabolism of a further 20% before bioavailability. it reaches the systemic circulation (e.g. first pass through the liver). A blood concentration – time curve (achieved by serial measurements over time) reflects not just the release of Therefore only 50% of the original oral dose reaches the the active ingredient from the medicine and its absorption systemic circulation.
