I would also like to add that not all Ibuprofen pills are equal. Biological availability should be taken into account too. 400mg pills with 90% of availability will have the same effect for pain as 600mg pills with 60% of availability. But they'd likely have different effects on stomach/kidney.
- e40 10y agoIs this quality listed somewhere? I've never heard of it.
- zentiggr 10y agoThe wikipedia template for these drug descriptions include basic bioavailability / excretory data. Would still need to dig a bit for comparative BA figures for tablets/caplets/liquids/etc, but at least the core number is there.
- zihotki 10y agoUnfortunately not all manufactures test it and mention it in the pill notes. But some of them are, for example Advil liquid capsules, they mention in the note that it has 90-95% availability
- refurb 10y agoIn order to get approved as a generic version of the branded drug, the generic manufacturer has to show data that indicates 80% to 125% bio-equivalence. If there is a version on the market with only 60% bioavailability, somebody screwed up (the FDA).
