    This document discusses various pharmaceutical concepts and provides examples of interpreting medication orders containing Latin abbreviations: 1. It differentiates pharmaceutical alternatives from equivalents based on their active ingredients, dosage forms, and strengths. Therapeutic equivalents have the same clinical effects and safety profiles. 2. Bioequivalence between two drug formulations assumes they provide the same therapeutic effects, making them therapeutically equivalent. 3. Schedule III controlled substances like Vicodin and Tylenol with Codeine can only be refilled 5 times or after 6 months from when issued.

    1. Differentiate pharmaceutical alternative and Pharmaceutical equivalent


    - Pharmaceutical Alternative are products are considered pharmaceutical equivalents if
    they contain the same active ingredient/s, are of the same dosage form, route of
    administration and are identical in strength or concentration. On the other hand,
    Pharmaceutical alternatives are defined as drug products that have the
    same therapeutic moiety, but are different dosage forms.
    2. Differentiate pharmaceutical equivalent and therapeutically equivalent.
    -Pharmaceutical Equivalent are drug products that have the same therapeutic moiety
    but different dosage forms. Whereas Therapeutically Equivalent are products having the same
    clinical effect and safety profile.
    3. Are drugs that are bioequivalent equally therapeutic equivalents?
    - When two formulations of the same drug or two drug products are claimed bioequivalent,
    it is assumed that they will provide the same therapeutic effect or that they are
    therapeutically equivalent. 
    4. Compare and contrast prescription and medication order.
    A medication order is written directions provided by a prescribing practitioner for a
