Biosimilar medicines are biological drugs (much more complex and larger than chemically synthesized medicines such as paracetamol or amoxicillin) that have lost their patent and are produced using biotechnology. When a biological medicine loses its patent, biosimilars become an alternative with guaranteed quality, safety and efficacy at a lower cost. They are 21st century medicines used to treat serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis or multiple sclerosis.
Each part of BioSina has a message for you:
- Her curly hair represents the complexity biosimilars, which are large drugs (more than 10.000 atoms) that fold and refold on themselves.
- Torso bears the logo of biosim, which represents a virtuous circle between innovation and sustainability. A partnership of 15 pharmaceutical companies in Spain that promote the use of these biosimilar drugs.
- At the waist, the DNA chain It symbolizes the biological origin of these medicines and the use of biotechnology in their manufacture.
- The arms convey two key words: access and sustainability. Biosimilars, being off-patent medicines, promote competition, which leads to a decrease in prices. This allows a greater number of patients to access these disruptive treatments while protecting the healthcare system, making it more sustainable.
- the bottom from BioSina symbolizes science and access for everyone. We have outlined the purpose of biosimilars in two parts:
-
- The process of research and production of a biosimilar medicine, from the study of the original biological medicine to the entire scientific and biotechnological development that guarantees its quality, safety and efficacy. This process culminates with its commercialization and use by healthcare professionals.
- The lower part of the girl represents the real beneficiaries of biosimilar medicines, healthcare professionals, patients and citizens In general, they support biosimilar medicines like a banner. Thanks to these medicines, they can access very advanced therapeutic options that change the course of their disease.
Biosimilar medicines, 'Life-changing drugs'.
