Question juridique clé
Whether a bioavailability study could be required for approval of 400 mg A.________ film-coated tablets under the simplified procedure.
Solution extraite
Swissmedic could not refuse approval on the sole ground of missing bioavailability testing in the circumstances found by the lower court.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court accepted the lower court's factual finding that taking two 200 mg tablets is comparable to one 400 mg tablet, and held that Swissmedic had not shown this finding to be manifestly inaccurate. Its remaining objections depended on a contrary factual premise and failed.
