AHMEDABAD, India – Cadila Pharmaceuticals has announced the launch of its adalimumab biosimilar, Cadalimab, referencing AbbVie’s blockbuster Humira, in India.
As with the reference biologic, Cadalimab is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriasis.
