What are BioPharmaceuticals?

Biopharmaceuticals which are also widely known as biologics or biologic drugs, are medical drugs produced using biotechnology that are increasingly being used in medicine and are extremely effective in treating a broad range of diseases.

Biopharmaceuticals are amongst the best achievements of modern science and include proteins (e.g. insulin and antibodies) and nucleic acids (DNA, RNA or antisense oligonucleotides) used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

The development and production of new biopharmaceuticals continues to expand at a rapid pace, and these cutting-edge products continue to command an ever-larger share of the annual pharmaceuticals market.
