Pharmaceutical differences between the reference listed drug (RLD) and generic formulations of piperacillin-tazobactam may impact the reconstitution process for intravenous administration. This study evaluated the RLD against three generic formulations and measured their reconstitution times using a standardized process. The mean (standard deviation [SD]) reconstitution time for one generic formulation was 5.57 (1.49) min, which was 35% to 42% longer (P < 0.002) than that for the RLD and two other formulations. Observable microscopic differences in powder particle morphology may explain these findings.
哌拉西林-他唑巴坦的参比制剂(RLD)与仿制药制剂之间的药学差异可能会影响静脉给药的复溶过程。本研究将RLD与三种仿制药制剂进行了比较,并采用标准化流程测定了它们的复溶时间。一种仿制药制剂的平均(标准差[SD])复溶时间为5.57(1.49)分钟,比RLD和其他两种制剂长35%至42%(P<0.002)。粉末颗粒形态在显微镜下的明显差异或许可以解释这些结果。
