26.03.2024: New regulation regarding biosimilars
Measures to promote generics and biosimilars came into force on January 1, 2024. The Swiss Rheumatism League explains the changes that you should know about as a patient. Pharmacists are now allowed to replace an original biological medicine prescribed by a doctor with an available, cheaper biosimilar. Important: If this is the case for you and the medication in mySCQM is no longer up to date, please inform your doctor. Alternatively, you can also contact the SCQM office so that your medication can be entered correctly in the SCQM database again. In this way, you will help to maintain the integrity of the SCQM data - thank you very much for your valuable contribution!
