Oh, I see! So there is equivalence in efficacy and equivalence in safety. Because the heparin doses were high in relation to hirulog, and the claim was for greater safety, that greater safety wasn't proven. But greater efficacy wasn't the issue.

With Vasomax, it is less effective than Viagra, but greater effectiveness need not be proven, since there won't need to be a comparison to Viagra, because a different target population will be claimed? If the target population were the same, would greater efficacy be an issue? Or is that never an issue? Drugs do have to have some efficacy, yes?
