The HPRA Guide to Biosimilars for Healthcare Professionals and Patients has been updated. The guide was originally published in 2015 and since that time there has been an increase in clinical and regulatory experience with this class of medicines as well as a growing body of scientific literature. The updated guide is now aimed solely at healthcare professionals, as the HPRA published a separate
guide
and information video for patients in 2017. The updated guide also provides further clarification of the HPRA’s position on interchangeability, switching and substitution.
The HPRA welcomes comments on this updated guide and there is a consultation period of 4 weeks. All comments should be sent to
biosimilarconsultation@hpra.ie
. Please see below for links to clean and tracked changes versions of the proposed document.
