A bioequivalence study is a study conducted to show those two different drugs, or two different dosages of the same drug. It absorbed in the same way and produces the same effect on the required site. For general medicinal products, the concept of bioequivalence is important because bioequivalence with the (original) reference medicinal product must be confirmed before a basic product can be approved. Regulatory authorities charge bioequivalence by considering two standards: the speed of absorption and the extent of absorption. If one or both parameters are different in the formulation of a drug, the authorities will determine that the drug is not bioequivalent to the product of origin.

New Patients

New patients must fill out an Intake Form before their scheduled appointment time. Please have your forms to Balance 48 hours before your appointment. If your forms are not received 48 hours prior to your Naturopathic visit the doctors may need to use part of your visit to look over your health history form. This will shorten you the length of your visit.
