Meet The Biosimilars Generation
Patients
– In it together
Patients are at the heart of The Biosimilars Generation. Biosimilar medicines are effective biologic treatment options for patients living with chronic, disabling and life-threatening diseases, including inflammatory arthritis, certain types of cancer, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease and psoriasis.
The decision of a biologic (original-brand or biosimilar) treatment option can be life changing and should be based on a discussion between the doctor and patient and consideration of benefits and risks, treatment goals and tolerance for side effects, accessibility of treatment and affordability.
Healthcare Providers– In it together
Based on extensive research in the lab and in animals, studies in humans, reviews by Health Canada and real-world experience of thousands of patients in Europe and North America, Canadian doctors are prescribing biosimilar medicines to address the needs of their patients living with complex chronic diseases.
