Pseudoephedrine is a BCS class 3 compound. What is needed to get a biowaiver for an EU country (FDA has a more stricter view on BCS class 3)? Would dissolution data work? I can't imagine conducting a BE study for an OTC drug, but can't find justification to waive one. Thank you! ## Although I'm not totally familiar with this topic, I did come across a brief article of information that I thought could be of assistance.

On the flip side, there appear to be other products out there with the same combination of active ingredients, sold as a different name, both over the counter and prescription strength. Anyways, i ran a search on drugstore.com of those active ingredients (Chlorpheniramine Phenyle...
