Biologic Drugs and Biosimilars

What are biologic drugs? What about biosimilars? In a previous video we compared brand name and generic drugs. (Is There a Difference Between Brand N...) But we kind of left out a major player in the world of medicines; biologic drugs. These complicated little guys probably deserve a video all to themselves.  Call them what you will biologics, biotherapeutic medicines, or biopharmaceuticals they're topic of this week's HealthCare triage.

We had tons of help from Healthcare Triage intern Rachel Hoffman on this episode!
