Background: Antimicrobial resistance has the potential to affect sustainable development goals in food-producing
livestock. Poor quality antibacterial pharmaceutical preparations significantly contribute to heighten this problem.
Bioequivalence (BE) studies are very important for the development of dependable pharmaceutical preparations.
Methods: In this trial 3 Ceftiofur Crystalline Free Acid (CCFA) pharmaceutical preparations (1 reference and 2
experimental), intended for swine medicine and freely sold in Mexico, were tested to assess as to whether or not they
can be regarded as generic ones.
Results: Three commercially available products of CCFA containing 200 mg of ceftiofur crystalline free acid were
compared taking Excede® brand as reference preparation and preparations A and B as ex.. View more»
