The concept of therapeutic equivalence applies only to drug products containing the identical active ingredient(s) and does not encompass a comparison of different therapeutic agents used for the same condition (e.g., meperidine hydrochloride vs. morphine sulfate for the treatment of pain).
Reference Standard (RS) A “reference standard” is the drug product selected by FDA that an applicant seeking approval of an ANDA must use in conducting an in vivo bioequivalence study required for approval of an ANDA. In the electronic Orange Book, a reference standard is identified by “RS” in the RS column.
A “ZB” code is assigned to all nonprescription pharmaceuticals and legend pharmaceutical entities that have not been evaluated in the “Orange Book.” If one should encounter a “ZB” rating, do not dispense that particular pharmaceutical because no equivalence data is available.
