AbbVie wants biosimilar labeling to be modified

The company is again challenging the FDA's implementation of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act.

AbbVie does not like that the labeling for Sandoz’s Zarxio, the first FDA-approved biosimilar, does not say that it is not interchangeable with the referenced biologic, Neupogen, FDA Life reported.
