Counterintuitive<br />
concept <strong>of</strong> <strong>BE</strong>:<br />
Two formulations with<br />
a large difference in<br />
means are declared<br />
bioequivalent if variances<br />
are low, but not<br />
bioequivalent – even<br />
if the difference is<br />
quite small – due to<br />
high variability.<br />
