EGA report: Increase patient access to generic medicines

Home/Reports | Posted 05/08/2009

“EU governments need to ensure fast generic medicines uptake, as market access and low market volume in key EU countries is still a real problem and is having a major negative impact on patient access to more affordable treatments”, argues a new report of the European Generic medicines Association (EGA), entitled How to Increase Patient Access to Generic Medicines in European Healthcare Systems.

European biosimilars market set to grow gradually

Home/Reports | Posted 29/07/2009

A new report from Frost & Sullivan (F&S) has claimed that despite the initial regulatory hiccups, the number of biosimilars in the European market is set to increase gradually. It notes that patent expiries of key biopharmaceuticals have opened up numerous lucrative market opportunities, while driving the development of biosimilars. In addition, payers' perception of biosimilars, as viable alternatives to originator drugs due to their safety, efficacy and affordability, will further bolster market prospects.
