Overview

Biosimilar insulins are biological drugs with the effect similar to reference insulins. Documented safety and efficacy are the main demand for their clinical utility. The subsequent introduction into clinical practice will be followed by more frequent use which will need longterm evaluation of their effect on glycemia and eventual side effects as well.

Key words:
biosimilar insulin – clinical utility – efficacy – reference insulin – safety
