To predict the bioequivalence of film coated DHP generic tablets compared to the reference, a randomized controlled trial, single blind, single dose cross over design, two sequences, 2 periods, and wash-out period 7 days was conducted on 8 healthy adults. Blood samples were taken at certain times; plasma levels of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) were determined and analyzed for pharmacokinetics profile using UPLC MS MS system. The mean ±SD of AUC0-24, Cmax, Tmax, and T½ of the test drug (T) in the following order were 220.07 ± 64.48 ng.mL-1.hour; 119.00 ± 37.66 ng.mL-1.hour; 1.16 ± 0.30 hour; and 1.06 ± 0.31 hour. The mean ±SD of AUC0-24, Cmax, Tmax, and T½ of the reference drug (R) were 301.91 ± 161.30 ng.mL-1.hour; 203.60 ± 91.04 ng.mL-1.hour; 0.94 ± 0.35 hour; and 0.80 ± 0.21 hour. Based on statistical analysis, the geometrics mean ratio (T/R) for the Cmax and AUC0-t were 0.6083 with 90% CI (0.4853–0.7624) and 0.7769 with 90% CI (0.6493–0.9295) respectively. Kinetic profiles between the two products were the same, however the test drug is relatively inferior compared to the reference drug., This is an Open Access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.
