Biosimilar Insulin: Unraveling The Benefits Of Cost & Accessibility

Speciality: Endocrinology

Description:

A warm welcome to all the medical practitioners in this interesting session on untangling the benefits of  biosimilar insulin in terms of cost and access.

Insulin is a hormone secreted from pancreas that helps blood sugar to enter the body's cells so it can be used for energy. Insulin also signals the liver to store blood sugar for later use. It is one of the important components that helps in controlling diabetes in patients.

The speakers Dr. Manoj Chawla and Dr. Suresh Damodharan have provided an elaborative knowledge on the needs of biosimilar insulin with respect to cost and access in the management of diabetes in patients.

Biosimilar insulins are manufactured in living organisms (e.g., yeast and bacteria) to produce large quantities of the product, which limits the ability to manufacture exact replicas of original biological medications. The manufacture and use of biosimilar insulin will be much cost effective and can be used in lower or middle income countries.
