The bioequivalence problem was confirmed in an FDA-sponsored study conducted in 2010, comparing the bioequivalence of the Impax/Teva product to Wellbutrin XL 300 mg in 24 healthy adults, which determined that the generic tablets "fail to release bupropion into the blood at the same rate and to the same extent as Wellbutrin XL 300 mg," according to the statement.
