    medication money teaser

    In response to a Matrix Global Advisors report, titled, "Near-Term Expectations for Adalimumab biosimilars in the United States," authored by Alex Brill and Christy Robinson, the Association for Accessible Medicines' Biosimilars Council division has issued the following statement from its executive director, Craig Burton: 

    “This new report from Matrix Global Advisors illustrates the complexities of the burgeoning adalimumab biosimilar market. While biosimilars bring much needed competition and reduce overall costs, perverse rebate practices and other market factors will unnecessarily slow patient access and savings from FDA-approved biosimilars. Policymakers should ensure that patients have access to and benefit from lower-priced biosimilars.”

    Ben & Jerry's Churray for Churros!

    There’s new ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s hitting shelves.

    Packed with cinnamon and sugar flavors, the brand’s new Churray for Churros! flavor looks to deliver all the best components of a churro.

    “It was years in the making and we’re excited to finally have churro in the lineup. Those flavors resonate with a lot of people and bring back so many memories, especially for us at Ben & Jerry’s,” said flavor guru Natalia Butler.  

    Designed to be the purest form of the popular dessert, Churray for Churros! was made to be customized to each individual’s experience with indulegent toppings, the company said.

    “We interpreted the crunchy, sugary exterior of the churro into a swirl and buttery cinnamon ice cream for this flavor, while the cake-like interior texture of a churro is incorporated as soft, indulgent pieces throughout,” said Butler. “We gave fans the base, but if you want to amp it up, you can have it your way with some chocolate or caramel drizzle.”

    Consumers can find Churray for Churros! pints for a suggested retail price of $5.99 to $6.49.
