In vivo pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship and in vitro equivalence of two oral furosemide tablet formulations.

A randomized, cross-over, open study of bioequivalence between two different furosemide (CAS 54-31-9) formulations was performed; simultaneously, diuretic effects (urine output, sodium, potassium and chloride excretion) were also compared. Both products meet the British Pharmacopoeia specification and the results of a previous in vitro comparative study ensure equivalence of the two dissolution curves. Twenty-four healthy volunteers (male/female) participated in the bioequivalence study.

In vitro and in vivo equivalence of two oral atenolol tablet formulations.

A randomised, cross-over, open study of bioequivalence between two different atenolol (CAS 29122-68-7) tablet formulations is presented. An in vitro comparative study between the two formulations was also performed. Both products meet the USP 23 (United States Pharmacopea) specification.
