    Manufacture has to demonstrate that its product is essentially similar to reference product (same efficacy, safety and quality), which is usually done by bioequivalence studies.

    Typically, bioequivalence studies are not required for generic injectables as the BE is self-evident by nature of the dosage form being an injectable solution.  You can file a waiver according to 21 CFR 320.22(b)(1)(i).
