Inflectra To Be First Substitutable Biosimilar In Australia

Australia's Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) has recommended that Hospira's biosimilar infliximab product Inflectra should be listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. And in a highly controversial move, the PBAC has also said that Inflectra should be "a"-flagged, meaning that it can be substituted by pharmacists for the originator drug, Johnson & Johnson's Remicade.
