| Summary: | Conclusions: The current study revealed a lack of knowledge, unfavourable attitudes and insufficient practices related to biosimilar therapy among community pharmacists, along with several identified barriers. Future efforts should focus on comprehensive educational programs that deliver up-to-date clinical information and emphasize the benefits of biosimilar drugs, specifically targeting male pharmacists, those with postgraduate degrees, pharmacy owners, pharmacists with less work experience, and those who dispense fewer prescriptions per day. These interventions are essential for enhancing pharmacists’ knowledge and attitudes and, hence, improved practice with respect to biosimilar drugs. |
