Dear All,

According to Overview of comments received on draft Guideline on the investigation of bioequivalence by EMEA Cmin,ss is defined as "By Cmin,ss we mean the concentration at the end of the dosage interval, i.e. Ctrough".
But according to WinNonlin User guide Cmin at steady state is defined as "Minimum concentration between dose time and dose time + Tau".

Now my question is Which definition is to be followed. What is the exact definition of Cmin according to other regulatory bodies (e.g. FDA, Health Canada, ANVISA). If definition by EMEA is to be followed then we can not use Cmin value calculated by using WinNonlin for submission. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Waiting for your reply.
