> A group of volunteers are given the medication. Pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC, Cmax and Tmax) are determined for each product (A and B). The ratio of A/B for AUC and Cmax and 90% geometric confidence intervals for AUC and Cmax respectively are determined. These values must fall within the accepted regulatory range of 80-125% (0.80-1.25 range) to indicate that A is bioequivalent to B.
Go get your Ph.D. and be done with it.
