The Biosimilars Forum has announced Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMRX) (“Amneal”) as its newest member. Amneal joins the Forum as it leads the biosimilar industry’s efforts to promote safe, effective and lower-cost biosimilars during a watershed moment for the industry.

“We are thrilled to join the Biosimilars Forum to work together to increase biosimilar uptake and help make more life-saving treatments available to patients who need them,” Chirag Patel, President and Co-Chief Executive Officer at Amneal. “Amneal and the Biosimilars Forum share a commitment to ensuring biosimilars are available to patients and that the cost-savings potential of biosimilars become a reality.”

Biosimilars have the potential to save billions of dollars in U.S. health care spending, if — and only if — they have equitable access to formularies, allowing free-market competition to lower prescription drug costs. The Biosimilars Forum works to advance biosimilars in the United States with the goals of expanding access and availability and improving healthcare outcomes.

“The Forum’s Board of Directors and I are honored to welcome Amneal to the Biosimilars Forum at the most critical time for the future of the industry,” said Juliana M.
