gender specific generics? [Surveys]
Dear Dan,
Well, that can't be ruled out but you make a good case why it isn't.
I do not have an explanation. I am thinking into coating or other excipients but have not heard of any such things having gender specificity.
In principle a story like this deserves publication, but I would not be surprised if originator companies would use it against the generic industry in an attempt to make life difficult.
Another thing: Sometimes males and females are separated (dosing, sleeping, meals etc) at CROs. Do you know if this was the case in your studies? I think I would look into this aspect; after all, subtle differences in habits and the fact that BE studies are open-label could play a role, although I will not speculate into exactly how this might be with the present knowledge.
And oh please, include me on the recipient list for the data
