For multiple strengths of generic TDDS products, bioequivalence studies should be performed at least on the lowest and highest strengths versus the corresponding innovator products. If an applicant considers that this is unnecessary in a particular case, a justification for not submitting bioequivalence data should be submitted in accordance with the ARGPM guidance on Biopharmaceutic studies.
