Approved generic drugs are therapeutically equivalent to a preidentified brand name product and are expected to have the same clinical effect and safety profile when administered to patients under conditions specified in the labeling. Availability of generic topical dermatologic drugs is expected to enhance patient access to such widely used drug products. Assessment of equivalence for a prospective generic product involves a systematic and rigorous comparative evaluation to ensure there is no significant difference in the rate and extent to which the active ingredients become available at the site of action for the prospective generic and corresponding brand name product.

Background: Prescription auditing is a crucial tool for evaluating a range of concerns, including injectable usage, polypharmacy, the use of generic names, and the quality of treatment given to patients in primary care facilities. The objective of the study was to assess, using WHO core drug use indicators, the drug use patterns of general outpatients (OPD) at a rural healthcare facility.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a rural peripheral health centre in Puducherry for a period of one year from September 2019 to August 2020.

Oxycodone hydrochloride (HCl) extended release (ER) tablet is an abuse-deterrent formulation that uses a physical barrier to make it more difficult to crush tablets prior to abuse via various routes. A previously conducted in vivo pharmacokinetics (PK) study showed that particle size exhibited significant effects on PK. Here, a computational modeling study using a novel combined computational fluid dynamics and physiologically based PK model was applied to better understand the mechanisms that produce differences in PK according to particle size and formulation type for nasally insufflated oxycodone HCl immediate release (IR) and ER ts.
