Pointing out that Senators Obama and McCain agree on the need for affordable biologic medicines, Biologicsland [1]now offers a game for testing your knowledge about biogenerics.
Biologicsland, brought to you by Teva Pharmaceuticals [2], is an on-line board game where you pick a person to act as your player, like politician or scientist (and why is the floor being sawed out from under the lobbyist?), and then answer questions about the generic biologics framework (or lack thereof) in the U.S.
In the game, you can answer questions like “Which of the following is NOT a biologics drug?” (You do know that statins are small molecule pharmaceuticals, right?). The game is short and not too difficult. If you get the question right or wrong, each answer set provides links to fact sources about biogenerics.
Wherever you stand on approval of generic biologics, the game does provide some facts that surprise you. Learn some key facts about the issue of biogenerics while having some fun at the same time. Test your knowledge here [1].
