Adverse drug reactions refer to any unwanted and unintended consequences that occur as a result of medical treatment. This can include a lack of effectiveness in treating the condition or events related to abuse or overdose of the drug. Therefore, the statement "Adverse Drug reactions are unwanted and unintended consequence of medical treatment" is true.

Adverse events refer to negative effects that can occur as a result of taking a drug. These effects may or may not be caused by the drug itself. Therefore, the statement that adverse events may or may not be caused by the suspect drug is true.

Bioequivalence refers to the absence of a significant difference in bioavailability between two pharmaceutical products that are either equivalent or alternative. This means that both products release the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in a similar manner and at similar levels. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct as it accurately describes the concept of bioequivalence.

If the 90% confidence interval of the ratio of a log-transformed exposure measure falls completely within the range of 80-125%, it means that there is no significant difference between the two treatments. This range is commonly used to determine bioequivalence, indicating that the treatments have similar effects. Therefore, the statement is true.

Innovator companies file a patent for 20 years. This means that when an innovator company invents something new, they can file for a patent to protect their invention for a period of 20 years. During this time, they have exclusive rights to their invention and can prevent others from using, making, or selling their invention without their permission. After the 20-year period, the patent expires and the invention becomes available for public use.

Side effects are unwanted but natural and anticipated consequences of medical treatment.”
