 Pharmaceutical equivalents/alternatives

Dear M.V.G. Chakravarthi!

❝ Could anybody suggest the regulatory requirement of Pharmaceutical

❝ alternatives for US/EU markets.


The main difference between US and EU is that in the US only pharmaceutical equivalents (e.g., generic tablet vs. RLD tablet) qualify for an ANDA, whereas in the EU one may get also regulatory approval for pharmaceutical alternatives (e.g., IR capsule vs. reference IR tablet).

For details have a look at the Guideline-Collection: US-FDA, EU-EMA.

Could you please refer me to the part of the guidelines that says that you can use a pharmaceutical alternative reference (if the pharmaceutical equivalent is unavailable).

The only lines I could find were on page 7/27, "In an application for extension of a medicinal product which has been initially approved under Art.8(3) of Directive 2001/83/EC and when there are several dosage forms of this medicinal product on the market, it is recommended that the dosage form used for the initial approval of the concerned medicinal product (and which was used in clinical efficacy and safety studies) is used as reference product, if available on the market."

Thanks

 Pharmaceutical equivalents/alternatives

Dear Noha,

GUIDELINE ON THE INVESTIGATION OF BIOEQUIVALENCE, London, 20 January 2010, From page 4 of 27, Section 1.1
Two medicinal products containing the same active substance are considered bioequivalent if they are pharmaceutically equivalent or pharmaceutical alternatives and their bioavailabilities (rate and extent)after administration in the same molar dose lie within acceptable predefined limits.

Thanks,
Naveen Kumar.SR
