Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A preparation can be chemically equivalent yet not biologically or therapeutically equivalent.These products are said to differ in their bioavailability.The potency of a drug is a function of the amount of drug required to produce an effect.The efficacy is the maximum intensity of effect or response that can be produced by a drug.The therapeutic index is the ratio of the lethal dose for 50% of the experimental animals divided by the effective dose for 50% of the experimental animals.If the value of the therapeutic index is small,toxicity is more likely.
