I just found out today that the American Medical Association makes a significant distinction between the methods used to assess "bioequivalence" and therapeutic efficacy. The two are not the same at all. They use different tests-- bioequivalence being an empirical, statistical comparison, and therapeutic being biologically targeted for physiological variation and response. The difference is particularly important for drugs with a narrow therapeutic index, as studies have shown that identical amounts and contents yield clinically significant differences. The FDA has ignored this difference and has not intervened in dangerous adverse effects.
