Dear Group, I would like to have your views on the below issue. A drug as tablets of 500 mg and 1000 mg is to be dosed in real life by calculating the dose per kg body weight (25 mg/kg).
e.g. a patient of 60 kg will receive a single dose of 1500 mg; that is he will get 1 tab of 1000 mg and 1 tab of 500 mg

a patient of 80 kg will receive a single does of 2000 mg; that is he will get 2 tabs of 1000 mg (or 4 tabs of 500 mg).

how should the healthy subjects be dosed in a BE study? should they be dosed by taking into account their body weight (as above) or regardless of their body weight take the 1000 mg tab?

Thanking you in advance for your feedback.
