Biologic or Biosimilar in IBD. It doesn’t matter which.

If you suffer from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), you know that medication can make the difference between pain and diarrhea or a normal, healthy lifestyle. Treatment for your IBD may include a biosimilar.

Jess Caron, a patient and patient advocate who has been living with IBD for more than a decade, explains the important facts about biosimilars and biologics:

• Biosimilars ARE biologics.
• Both have been proven over time and used for more than 15 years.
• Dozens of studies have shown that efficacy and safety are the same.
• The same rigorous FDA approvals are applied to both.
