While a generic drug needs to satisfy the condition of bioequivalence with respect to the Cmax and AUC, there is some criticism that generic drugs do not work as well or are not as effective as the reference listed drug. What could you scientifically postulate to be underlying this? [Answer 1] What could you do to test this hypothesis? [Answer 2] Provide up to 2 sentences for each answer.
