Marie Gårdmark: ”Interchangeable biological medicines – soon in a pharmacy near you?”
”Generic competition is an effective way to push down drug prices, but it has not worked equally well for biosimilars. Biosimilars require more time to gain market share compared to generics, and new biosimilars do not always lead to lower prices” writes Marie Gårdmark in a column.

Biosimilars bring price pressure, but are they sufficiently used?
When biosimilars were introduced just over 16 years ago, hopes were raised that they would give many more patients access to effective but otherwise extremely expensive treatments with biological drugs. So, how well has Swedish healthcare used biosimilars? The answer partly depends on whom you ask.

Biosimilarer ger prispress, men används de tillräckligt?
Biosimilarernas ankomst för drygt 16 år sedan väckte hopp om att många fler patienter skulle få tillgång till effektiva men annars mycket dyra behandlingar med biologiska läkemedel. Så hur bra har svensk sjukvård varit på att använda biosimilarerna? Svaret beror, åtminstone delvis, på vem man frågar.

Martin Bergö: "The Idea is the Thing"
Martin Bergö, 38, goes wherever ideas take him - it's a process that has led to, and resulted from, plenty of unexpected results. Those ideas have been recognized as good ones: in 2008, he was awarded the Eric K. Fernström Foundation's Prize for young researchers. It isn't the first award for the Associate Professor at Gothenburg University's Sahlgrenska Academy. In 2007, he received a grant award of 16 million SEK from the European Research Council for his pioneering work.
