Biosimilars cost less, but do they incur in indirect costs due to less dis control or more AE?

Costs similar or decreased 9 mo after mandatory switching to ADA biosimilar (GP2017 or SB5)
Decrease 15% GP2017 switchers

Well, this is not really the case.
Comaprison of GC use in 1999-2008 vs. 2009-2018
52% of patients remain on GC for>3Mo after initiation & 1/3 still continues after 2 years!
