Resumen
RESUMEN: Los medicamentos biológicos para las diferentes enfermedades se encuentran cerca del vencimiento de sus patentes. Las empresas farmacéuticas han empezado a crear medicamentos biosimilares, que se forman a partir de diferentes procesos de producción que los hace medicamentos con similares mecanismos de acción, pero sin ser idénticos a ellos. La legislación mundial está tomando diferentes posturas para la reglamentación de los medicamentos biosimilares y, en Colombia, se reglamentó recientemente el Decreto 1782 de 2014, con el cual se pretende dar respuesta a esta necesidad. No obstante, se necesita que como médicos asumamos una posición crítica frente a las diferencias entre los medicamentos biológicos y los biosimilares, conociendo su mecanismo de acción, eficacia, seguridad y capacidad de generar inmunidad, para que la nueva legislación propenda por preservar estos principios, y para evitar la aprobación de medicamentos que no cumplan con los estándares de calidad. ABSTRACT: Biologic drugs for various diseases are close to the expiration of their patents. Pharmaceutical companies have began to develop biosimilars, which are formed from different production processes that makes these drugs a similar mechanisms of action, but without being identical to them. The global law are taking different approaches in order to the regulation of biosimilars and in Colombia, recently regulated by Decree 1782 of 2014, which aims to respond to this need. However, it is necessary that we as physicians assume a critical position regarding the differences between biologics and biosimilars, knowing its mechanism of action, efficacy, safety and immunogenicity, in order to the new legislation aims to preserve these principles, and to prevent the approval of drugs that do not meet quality standards.
