Abstract
A biosimilar medicinal product is a successor to a biological medicinal product for which patent protection no longer applies. Manufactured by recombinant DNA technology (insertion of gene into the host cell to produce the protein). Comparable with the selected comparator, reference product, in terms of quality, safety and efficacy. The biosimilar product is usually approved for the same indications as the comparator reference product given that they share the same mode of actions.
