The first edition of this short guide to biosimilar medicines was published in 2007. At the time of first publication, only 5 biosimilar medicines had been approved in Europe, and both the legislation and concepts for these products were very new. Now the situation has developed and changed, as will be described herein, and the clinical and health economic benefits offered by biosimilar medicines to patients, clinicians and healthcare providers are considerably clearer. 606 $aPharmaceutical biotechnology$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aPharmaceutical biotechnology industry$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aDrugs$xGeneric substitution$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aPharmaceutical policy$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aBiological products$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPharmaceutical biotechnology 615 0$aPharmaceutical biotechnology industry 615 0$aDrugs$xGeneric substitution 615 0$aPharmaceutical policy 615 0$aBiological products 676 $a615.19 22 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465297803321 996 $aBiosimilars handbook$92108848 997 $aUNINA
