Right, that is the difference between bioequivalency and bioavailability. amphetamine is either amphetamine or it is not, there is no grey area as it is a very specific molecule, as all drugs are. Just because it is the same molecule does not mean both are of equal bioavailability
and would cause one med to be very different from the other.
