Curious about biosimilars and how they could impact your treatment for psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis? View this webinar as dermatologist Dr. Jeffrey Cohen, Director of the Psoriasis Treatment Program at Yale School of Medicine, along with moderators Ana Rinck and Jeff Brown, discuss:

  • What are biosimilars in comparison to biologics, which are also known as reference medications.
  • How biosimilars function similarly to the reference medication and are considered to be equivalent in performance and efficacy.
  • The classes of biosimilars that are available for treating psoriasis and how many biosimilars are currently on the market in the U.S. and in Europe.
  • A growing trend among insurance companies may require a biosimilar be used as a first line agent or a switch from a brand name biologic to a biosimilar. 

As with all medications, everyone’s experience will be different. Be aware of what your options are and what to expect.

This webinar is brought to you with support from our presenting sponsor:
