ANS: C z
A preparation can be chemically equivalent yet not biologically or therapeutically equivalent. These prod
z z z z z z z z z z z z z
ucts are said to differ in their bioavailability. The potency of a drug is a function of the amount of drug requ
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
ired to produce an effect. The efficacy is the maximum intensity of effect or response that can be produced
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
zby a drug. The therapeutic index is the ratio of the lethal dose for 50% of the experimental animals divide
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
