The decision in PLIVA, Inc. v.

Following this decision, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 introduced a new process for generic drug manufacturers to update their safety information independent of its bioequivalent brand-name drug.","PeriodicalId":91117,"journal":{"name":"Journal of generic medicines","volume":"67 1","pages":"145 - 148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84067337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Non-prescription drugs may be marketed legally in the US through the drug application process and the Over-the-Counter Drug Review (OTC drug monograph) procedure. The criteria and procedures cover how OTC medications that were initially marketed in the United States following the start of the OTC drug review in 1972, as well as OTC medications without any prior U.S. marketing experience, can satisfy the legal definition of marketing to a “material extent” and “for a material time” and qualify. In accordance with FDA’s OTC drug monograph standards, if the condition is deemed qualifying, it would be assessed for general recognition of safety and effectiveness. The FDA is also making changes to the OTC medicine monograph processes in order to speed up the processing and add more details to the evaluation. Therefore, this article emphasizes the OTC monograph system and its procedure.","PeriodicalId":91117,"journal":{"name":"Journal of generic medicines","volume":"11 1","pages":"141 - 144"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78285428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They have been on the market for a long time and have abbreviated pathways to be approved. Their development is more simple and more affordable than their reference counterpart, which makes them widely used by patients. More recently, biosimilars were introduced to the market with strict regulations. They are highly similar to large, complex molecules, known as biological drugs, in terms of quality characteristics, biological activity, safety, and efficacy. Their development is complex and expensive, where clinical trials are necessary. Even though generic drugs and biosimilars are both copies of a reference drug, they differ in many aspects. Misconceptions or misinformation among healthcare stakeholders could have limited their use. Therefore, this short review aims to compare generic drugs and biosimilars in terms of characteristics, development, regulation, and interchangeability with brand drugs. Findings from this report can help clarify misconceptions and promote their use.","PeriodicalId":91117,"journal":{"name":"Journal of generic medicines","volume":"1 1","pages":"124 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90753169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
