What is a generic?
copies of brand-name drugs with the same active ingredient and same intended therapeutic use as innovator product.
Main 2 differences of a generic and innovator?
Cheaper
look different
What was the most different in product performance due too?
dissimilar Cp vs t
impaired absorption and F
Thalidomide tragedy?
used for morning sickness
caused birth defects, d/c in 1961
What was added in 1962 to the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act?
Proof of efficacy
generics had to meet saftey, efficacy, and bioequivalence
What was seen with generics with the new additions in 1962 too the FFDCA?
Not done, cost of clinical trials to get to market to high
What was added in 1984 to help generic market?
Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration act (Hatch-Waxman Act)
What did the Hatch-Waxman act do?
established abbreviated new drug application procedure
- approval of generics of drugs already safe and effective
- only needed to meet pharmaceutical and bioequivalence
what % of Rx’s are substituted to generics?
~70%
Are generic drug companies liable for failing to list side effects?
No, if they copy the exact same warnings as brand-name equivalents
Do generics need to contain the same non-medicinal ingredients?
no
Can TPD bioavailability definition?
rate and extent of absorption of a drug into systemic circulation
Basic assumption of bioequivalence?
products are assumed therapeutically equivalent and interchangeable
Factors related to the dosage form?
physiochemical properties of the drug:
- particle size
- crystalline structure
- polymorphic form
- degree of hydration
- salt form
- ester form
Formulation and manufacturing variables:
- amount of disintigrant/lubricant
- coatings
- nature of diluent
- compression force
Factros related to the pt?
Physiological factors
Interactions with other substances
Difference of Absolute and Relative bioavailability?
absolute uses IV and oral
relative uses 2 different dosage forms that follow same RoA
Extent of F equation for single dose?
AUC(test drug product) x D(standard drug product
————————————————
AUC(standard drug product) x D(test drug product)
all x 100
Extent of F for multy dosing?
AUC(tdp) x D (sdp)/AUC(sdp) x D(tdp) x100
AUC uses complete tau
What is the same with the rates of bioavailability?
AUC
elimination rate constant
complete absorption for all formulations
What is different with the rates of bioavailability?
Onset
duration of effect
intensity
what are indicators of rate of bioavailability>
Tmax and Cmax
ROB formula?
AUC(+ vehicle;granules;tablet) / AUC(solution)
x100
What is the true rate constant?
absorption rate constant from solution
WHat is the apparent rate constant?
Absorption rate constant from drug product
