With four biosimilars for adalimumab expected to launch soon, will the concept finally work the way it is meant to? And what would that mean for you and your patients?

Register HERE for our live cast Q&A at 7pm AEDT, December 10, where our experts will:

  • Discuss whether active ingredient prescribing can be set up to avoid confusion and prescriber fatigue.
  • Do a quick run through of how biosimilar prescribing will likely work with your prescribing software and whether there will be any ways to optimise the process.
  • Look at what is likely to happen at the pharmacy level with your patient after you prescribe – will pharmacies actually stock four biosimilars?
  • Explain how “A” flagging will work with so many options.
  • Discuss the overall concept of the idea of biosimilar pricing compared to generics, how it has worked so far, and whether it can actually work into the future in Australia.

Our panel experts are:

  • Seth Ginsberg – founder of international online arthritis patient community, Creaky Joints, and chronic illness patient support initiative, The Healthy Living Foundation
  • Dr Irwin Lim – Rheumatologist , Director of BJC Health and editor-in-chief of Rheumatology Republic
