Modern approaches to quality evaluation of generic drugs for their registration (a review)

At present the quality of generic drugs for registration in the Russian Federation is checked by studying their bioequivalence. According to FDA and WHO guidelines, some generic drugs can be registered on the basis of only in vitro data (dissolution test) without testing for the bioequivalence in vivo. A biowaiver procedure that is based on a biopharmaceutical classification system is developed for such a simplified registration scheme.
