ANS: C x
A preparation can be chemically equivalent yet not biologically or therapeutically equivalent. These pro
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
ducts are said to differ in their bioavailability. The potency of a drug is a function of the amount of drug re
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
quired to produce an effect. The efficacy is the maximum intensity of effect or response that can be produ
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
ced by a drug. The therapeutic index is the ratio of the lethal dose for 50% of the experimental animals di
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
vided by the effective dose for 50% of the experimental animals. If the value of the therapeutic index is s
