ADVANZ PHARMA's commitment to biosimilars
Last updated: May 2025
Biologics are advanced, complex biological medicines derived from living organisms that have transformed patient care across numerous conditions. Unlike conventional drugs, their intricate molecular structures demand innovative production techniques.
Biosimilar pharmaceuticals are developed as highly similar versions of these established innovative biologics, offering a valuable alternative by providing a more affordable treatment option. Biosimilar drugs are designed to offer the same clinical benefits without meaningful differences in safety, purity, or efficacy. Undergoing comprehensive analytical assessments, clinical evaluations, and rigorous regulatory approval processes, biosimilar medications ensure that every patient receives dependable treatment backed by the highest standards of quality and performance.
By potentially reducing treatment costs, biosimilar medications can help optimize healthcare budgets, allowing for better resource allocation and reinvestment in further innovation and improving patient care. This approach supports broader access to essential therapies and contributes to the overall sustainability of healthcare systems.
