Abstract

Brand-name vancomycin consistently outperforms generic—supposedly, equivalent—forms of this storied antibiotic, according to Omar Vesga, of the University of Antioquia Medical School in Medellin, Colombia, and his collaborators. “Now we know that therapeutic equivalence of generic vancomycin cannot be assumed from pharmaceutical equivalence, or from so-called bioequivalence,” he says. These research findings appear in the August Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (54:3271–3279).
