Understanding Unbranded Biologics
Ustekinumab Is an Unbranded Biologic
An unbranded biologic is the same as the brand-name product*
A biosimilar is highly similar to a brand-name product* with no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety and effectiveness†
*"Brand-name" product refers to the FDA-approved reference product.
†During the approval process, the FDA conducts a thorough evaluation that ensures that all biosimilars, including interchangeable biosimilars, are as safe and effective as their reference product and meet the FDA’s high standards for approval.
