Therapeutic areas with analogue competition


When several pharmaceuticals with the same clinical effect are made available on the market, analogue competition is possible. This takes place when the Danish Medicines Council prepares treatment guidelines and cost analyses and Amgros conducts tendering procedures.

When several pharmaceuticals with a uniform clinical effect become available on the market, there is the possibility of analogous competitive exposure. This is done based on treatment guidelines from RADS (The former Danish Council for the Use of Expensive Hospital Medicines) and the Danish Medicines Council.

Based on the Danish Medicines Council treatment guidelines and the cost analyses, Amgros prepares and implements tenders. The Danish Medicines Council uses the result of the tender to prepare a recommendation. An extended comparison has not been prepared in RADS’ treatment guidelines.

The recommendation is published on website of the Danish Medicines Council.

Efficient changes of medicines

Amgros works closely with the regions - hospital pharmacies, pharmaceutical committees and clinical pharmacologists - to ensure that new medicines get into use rapidly as standard treatment at hospitals - and thereby get to patients quickly too. Together, we also ensure that the regions can reap the savings as soon as possible because the medicine will have been through our national tendering procedure.
