Background: Bisoprolol is one of the most widely used beta-blockers characterised by cardioselectivity, and it has no intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. It is commonly used in the treatment of coronary heart disease and heart failure.
Aim: The aim of study was to assess the bioequivalence of the film-coated tablets containing 2.
The aim of the study was to investigate the bioequivalence of a generic product of 8 mg film-coated tablets (test) to the branded product (reference) at the same strength in order to apply for regulatory approval. The secondary objective of the study was to compare the tolerability of both products. A double blinded, randomized, cross-over, 2-period, comparative study was conducted in healthy Caucasian volunteers under fasting conditions.

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the bioavailability of a generic formulation of 10-mg bisoprolol film coated tablets (test) as compared to that of a branded formulation (reference) at the same strength to determine bioequivalence and to apply for regulatory approval. The secondary objective of the study was to evaluate tolerability of both formulations.
Methods: A randomized, crossover, open-label, 2-period, single-dose, comparative study was conducted in healthy white volunteers in fasting conditions.
