About This Course
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing condition affecting the gastrointestinal tract and presenting with digestive disorders and inflammation in the digestive system that can result from ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease.
Current treatments for IBD include biological medicines (biologics), which are agents derived from living systems. However, their high cost has formed a barrier to treatment access for many patients, generating the need for biosimilars. This course will provide an overview of the latest clinically relevant information on the use of biosimilars in IBD.
This 60-minute course has been designed for healthcare providers.
This course has a 2-year expiry date of 25th March 2026. If you complete this course after its expiry date, please double check all claims in this course with up-to-date, peer-reviewed information, as the diagnostic or treatment landscape may have changed.
