Healthcare Triage

Biologic Drugs and Biosimilars (2016x1)

Date de diffusion: Jan 05, 2016

What are biologic drugs? What about biosimilars? In a previous video we compared brand name and generic drugs. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqXrfzWgDkE) But we kind of left out a major player in the world of medicines; biologic drugs. These complicated little guys probably deserve a video all to themselves. Call them what you will -biologics, biotherapeutic medicines, or biopharmaceuticals- they're topic of this week's HealthCare triage. We had tons of help from Healthcare Triage intern Rachel Hoffman on this episode!
