Abstract
Differences between the US and European regulatory processes can lead to differences in the time taken for biosimilar approval. The European Medicines Agency is in some cases quicker to approve biosimilar drugs and Europe has overall more approved biosimilars, whilst the US approved the first biosimilar in 2015. Whatever the market, there are a number of strategies that can be employed to help address patient and healthcare provider concerns, such as educational programmes. This paper provides some insights on these aspects.
