Bio-International 2008 aims to develop a common approach for tackling complex issues such as Bioequivalence/interchangeability of Cytotoxic Drug Products, Topical Drug Products and Respiratory Drug Products. The use of Comparator Drug Products for establishing Bioequivalence is a burning issue in the assessment of Multisource Drug Products quality and will be discussed along with application of Biopharmaceutics Classification System in assessing Bioequivalence of oral products. There will also be a special session highlighting BE issues in many countries and how these issues can be resolved with the experience gained with similar issues in other parts of the world. The format of Bio-International 2008 will include plenary presentations by leading international experts, panel discussions and questions from delegates for response by speakers.

The conference is designed to follow the pre-satellite FIP/SIG workshop Special dosage forms – What’s new with in vitro drug release? (20-21 October, RPSGB, London). Delegates at this conference are invited to sign-up for both events for a discounted combined fee (see below for more information).
