Pharmacokinetic Data in Drug Marketing Authorization Applications Post-market Surveillance for Bioequivalence Study Confirmation Acceptance of Multinational Data for Bioequivalence by Regulatory Bodies Bioavailability: How the active ingredient reaches systemic circulation Rate of Absorption: Speed at which the drug reaches the bloodstream Drug Concentration-Time Profile: Measurement of plasma concentration over time AUC (Area Under the Curve): Integral of the concentration-time curve Cmax (Maximum Concentration): The highest concentration of the drug in plasma Tmax (Time to Reach Cmax): Time it takes to reach the highest concentration Elimination Half-Life: Time taken for the drug concentration to reduce by half Bioequivalence Criteria: Cmax and AUC ratio comparison
