Abstract: The best method is the bioequivalence test in order to determine whether two drugs give rise to the same or similar efficacy,and it should be the basis of procedures for estimating the sample size needed to detect an equivalence.The power of test can not conclude an equivalence at p>0.05 even in a larger sample size.

Key words: clinical trial, biometry, power, bioequivalence test, two one-side t test, probability
