Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Two drugs absorbed into the circulation at the same amount (in specific dosage forms)have the same bioavailability;thus,they are bioequivalent.
"Equivalent" is incorrect because the term "bioavailability" is used to express the extent of drug absorption."Synergistic" is incorrect because this term refers to two drugs given together whose the resulting effect is greater than the sum of the effects of each drug given alone."Compatible" is incorrect because this term is a general term used to indicate that two substances do not have a chemical reaction when mixed (or given,in the case of drugs)together.
