The therapeutic equivalence essays to demonstrate that generic medicine can provide the same amount of active ingredient compared to the innovative medicine. The objective of this research was to evaluate the therapeutic equivalence of enalapril maleate 20 mg, according to the biopharmaceutical classification, given that this is a representative class III drug. This to demonstrate that it has an acceptable tolerability profile and
that it is effective for medical prescription. Once the therapeutic equivalence is stablished, the use of therapeutic bioequivalence products can reduce treatment costs, so that the general public
can have access to reliable, safe and affordable medicines. For this study an innovative medicine and three of the eight generic medicines of national manufacture and commercialization were used for each medicine, the dissolucion profiles (F2: 45.41, 92.42, 71.04), the uniformity of content (AV: 7.37, 2.97, 2.50) and percentage of active ingredient (%: 107.14, 98.89, 101.71) were determined. The essays were performed based on the criteria established in The United States Pharmacopeia and were satisfactory in all the analyzed batches. An independent statistical model was carried out it was established, that two of the three analyzed batches for generic medicine are therapeutic equivalents with the batch of the innovative drug. In vitro dissolution tests obtained throughout this study, concluded that the three analyzed batches of two generic medicines can be considered interchangeable in respect to the batch of the innovative medicine.
