 2 tablets versus 1 tablet [Dissolution / BCS / IVIVC]

Hi colleagues,

For comparative dissolution profile and consequently, bioequivalence testing, can 2 tablets of the test drug be compared with 1 tablet of the reference drugs? The label claim of the test drug is 5 mg/tablet while the reference drug available locally has a strength of 10 mg. May I solicit your thoughts on this. Thanks.

Dear Joy,

nice to have you back! ;-)

Dissolution testing should be performed with one unit. Having two tablets in the vessel will change hydrodynamics. Why don’t you compare 1 unit of 5 mg with 1 unit of 10 mg in vitro? On the y-axis you have %dissolved – not absolute values anyhow.
I once have seen an accepted (!) biowaiver where 2 units vs. 1 units were tested – but this was a mistake both by the applicant and the assessor. :surprised:

In the biostudy: 2×5 mg (test) vs. 1×10 mg (reference).

Dear HS,

Thank you so much for the insight, truly appreciate it.

I've been following up regularly BEBAC and the postings are indeed informative and very helfpul. Cheers and more power!

Thanks and regards.
