Algeria's public pharmaceutical group Saidal has conducted the country's first local bioequivalence study, validating the therapeutic efficacy of a generic antibiotic, amoxicillin, at its Equival Biocenter. This ground-breaking initiative represents a significant step towards pharmaceutical independence by strengthening the credibility of locally produced generic medicines. The Minister of Industry and Pharmaceutical Production, Ali Aoun, hailed this achievement, stressing the importance of this centre in guaranteeing patients equivalence between generic and reference medicines.


During the event, he also revealed that a second bioequivalence centre, owned by the private Clinica Group, had been approved to collaborate with PRU in Jordan, accredited by European and American authorities. Clinica aims to support Algeria's competitiveness on international markets by providing bioequivalence studies in line with international standards.
