By using #BiosimilarMedicines, healthcare professionals have access to a wider spectrum of treatment options and opportunities to change patient treatment pathways for the better. Take for example, biosimilars Infliximab and Adalimumab, used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Now thanks to biosimilar entry, those with moderate rheumatoid arthritis can also access treatment and improve their condition.
