Background: Hypertension is a chronic condition, and the cost of filling prescriptions has a potential of putting a financial strain on patients, hence the need for lower priced but bioequivalent generics. The Nigerian drug market is awash with generics of Amlodipine besylate, a first line drug in the treatment of hypertension, therefore, any prescribed alternative must be bioequivalent to the originator. Objectives: This study assessed the physicochemical properties of some brands in order to predict pharmaceutical and bioequivalence and invariably, the interchangeability with the innovator brand. Methods: Compendial parameters of average weight, friability, disintegration, drug content and dissolution profile of ten generic brands were evaluated using the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) as well as the non-official hardness test. Results: Two brands failed the test for hardness, while still keeping to the stipulated friability limit. All the brands met the required disintegration time, irrespective of the discordance of some brands in the breaking force and friability values. All brands were found to contain between 92.00 and 103.57% (w/w) of Amlodipine besylate. Two brands failed to achieve ≥75% dissolution expected at 30 minutes and this was reflected in the low f2 values of 35.06% and 28.73%. The dissolution curves displayed a similarity for two brands, which was also corroborated by the high percentage dissolution efficiency (DE) of 92.00%, as well as the f1 and f2 values, compared to the innovator brand. Conclusion: Although the parameters used may predict therapeutic equivalence, interchangeability with the comparator brand is subject to relevant bioequivalence studies.

The aim of the present work was to assess the pharmaceutical equivalence of three brands of atenolol (50 mg) tablets available in Bangladesh using in vitro dissolution study. The dissolution study was carried out using the paddle apparatus according to the guidelines of United States Pharmacopoeia (USP). The dissolution profiles of three locally manufactured atenolol tablets were determined and compared with the dissolution profile of atenolol tablet from innovator’s company. All samples attained more than 85% dissolution within 10 minutes. Mean dissolution values were employed to estimate difference factor (f1) and similarity factor (f2). Difference factor (f1) and similarity factor (f2) were used to assess in vitro bio-equivalency among the three brands. Other general quality assessment parameters such as hardness, friability and disintegration time were also determined. All brands complied with the official specifications for hardness, friability and disintegration time. The study indicated that all brands can be prescribed interchangeably. Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm.

Introduction. The article discusses the problem of assessing the similarity of the dissolution profiles of two batches of the nebivolol. The use of a generally accepted similarity factor for assessing equivalence is unacceptable in some cases, for example, for drugs with a high variability in the values of the release of the active substance from the formulation. At the same time, at present, there are no generally accepted approaches to comparing the profiles of the dissolution kinetics of drugs, with the exception of the method for assessing the comparability of profiles based on the mathematical calculation of the similarity factor f2, which has certain criteria that limit its application.Aim. To demonstrate alternative methods for assessing the similarity between the dissolution profiles of two drugs using a practical example.Materials and methods. The results of the comparative dissolution test of two series of nebivolol at a dosage of 5 mg. Five model-independent methods for assessing the equivalence of drug dissolution were used. Statistical data processing was performed using Microsoft Excel software.Results and discussion. The paper presents a practical example of using five alternative model-independent methods for assessing the equivalence of the dissolution profile. An example is used to illustrate the proposed equivalence limits and statistical methodology. Also, various approaches to determining the boundaries of equivalence have been proposed to assess the similarity of the dissolution profiles of an active substance.Conclusion. According to the results of the comparative dissolution test of two batches of nebivolol, it was shown that the use of the similarity factor as a criterion for assessing dissolution profiles led to a false positive result. In such cases, the possibility of using alternative methods for assessing the equivalence of dissolution profiles described in the article, or other methods presented in the scientific literature, should be considered, with a justification of their acceptability in each specific case.

BACKGROUND: Fast Orally Dissolving Film preparation can be used for patients with problems in ingesting solid dosage forms, such as mentally ill, elderly, geriatric and patients who are reducing fluid intake or nausea. AIM: This study aimed to formulate and evaluate the rapid dissolution of amlodipine besylate. METHODS: Amlodipine besylate film was prepared by solvent casting method by using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as film formers, crospovidone as superdisintegrant with Varian concentration F1 (2%), F2 (4%), F3 (6%) and F4 (8%), PEG 400 as plasticizer, sucralose and sorbitol as sweetener, citric acid as saliva stimulation, and grape essence as flavoring and coloring agent. Characteristics of films include organoleptic, weight uniformity, film thickness, surface pH, swelling, uniformity of content, time of disintegration, and dissolution. RESULTS: All formulated films produced a good film, smooth, transparent and uniform physical properties. F2 with polymer HPMC and the 4% concentration of crospovidone was the best formula with 31.50 seconds of disintegration time, the index expanding at the 15 second by 242.29% and the cumulative percent of the drug at 80 seconds by 98.08%. CONCLUSION: Amlodipine besylate can be formulated into fast orally dissolving film preparations using HPMC and crospovidone polymers so that they may be considered for use in the treatment of hypertension for patients with drug-induced problems in tablet or capsule form.
