Hallo Helmut,

Of course, not any in-vitro test simulates as best as the in-vivo does. But I don't understand is: we made a bioequivalence study and we found the products as bioequivalent. After that why we bother about f2 unless sponsor wants to improve their product (and they need to do a new BE study afterall.)

"An ƒ₂ value between 50 and 100 suggests that the two dissolution profiles are similar.
When the ƒ₂ statistic is not suitable, then the similarity may be compared using model-dependent or model-independent methods e.g. by statistical multivariate comparison of the parameters of the Weibull function or the percentage dissolved at different time points."

I think the key word is "MAY BE COMPARED".

Thank you very much Helmut .
