Biosimilar Product Information

The Food and Drug Administration approves biosimilar products and provides the scientific and regulatory advice needed to bring safe and effective biosimilars to market. The approval of biosimilar products can improve access to care for patients by increasing the number of medication options and potentially lower costs.
