ANS: C r r
A preparation can be chemically equivalent yet not biologically or therapeutically equivalent. These pr
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
oducts are said to differ in their bioavailability. The potency of a drug is a function of the amount of dru
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
g required to produce an effect. The efficacy is the maximum intensity of effect or response that can be
rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr r
produced by a drug. The therapeutic index is the ratio of the lethal dose for 50% of the experimental an
r rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr rr
imals divided by the effective dose for 50% of the experimental animals. If the value of the therapeutic
