International Veterinary Bioequivalence Guideline Similarities and Differences Between Australia, Canada, Europe, Japan, New Zealand and the United States
Journal Title: The AAPS Journal - Year 2012, Vol 14, Issue 4
Abstract
Considering the diversity in physiology between species and the numerous dosage forms that exist in veterinary drug products, there are numerous complex issues that arise from the development and regulation of veterinary drugs for food-producing and companion animals. Generic drugs are no exception. The main objective of this article is to illustrate the current important similarities and differences between international veterinary bioequivalence guidelines. It is concluded that since important differences are found, these may lead to barriers in international data exchange and scientific confusion, hence fostering the need for a harmonization effort in developing consistent guidelines based on sound pharmacological and statistical principles for the approval of veterinary generic drugs around the world.

Effect of Cyclosporine and Rifampin on the Pharmacokinetics of Macitentan, a Tissue-Targeting Dual Endothelin Receptor Antagonist
Macitentan is a dual endothelin receptor antagonist under phase 3 investigation in pulmonary arterial hypertension. We investigated the effect of cyclosporine (Cs) and rifampin on the pharmacokinetics of macitentan and i...
Recovery of human skin impedance in vivo after lontophoresis: Effect of metal ions
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the counter-ion (cation) on the recovery of human skin impedance after iontophoresis in vivo. A series of metal chloride aqueous solutions (NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, a...
A Flexible Nonlinear Feedback System That Captures Diverse Patterns of Adaptation and Rebound
An important approach to modeling tolerance and adaptation employs feedback mechanisms in which the response to the drug generates a counter-regulating action which affects the response. In this paper we analyze a family...
Investigation of the Influence of FcRn on the Distribution of IgG to the Brain
It has been suggested that the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is a primary determinant of the distribution of IgG to the brain. In the present report, 125I-labeled 7E3, a monoclonal IgG1 antibody, was injected intravenously...
