Bioequivalent amounts of two bio-inequivalent products

Drug content of the solid dosage form:mg
Bioavailability Factor of the drug in solid dosage form:
Drug content of the liquid dosage form:mg/mL
Bioavailability Factor of the drug in liquid dosage form:
Dose of liquid dosage form equivalent to solid dosage form =
