Biological Medicines represent an innovative advance in Healthcare, offering targeted and immunotherapies for a wide range of complex diseases. In this scientific article, we aim to present the fundamental differences between biological and chemical medicines in terms of mechanism of action, manufacturing process and regulatory environment. Additionally, we will discuss the basic scientific aspects of biosimilar and generic medicines, focusing on their regulatory details, which have a significant impact on patients care and healthcare system
