what is the difference between a biosimilar and an interchangeable product

A biosimilar is a biologic drug shown to be highly similar to an FDA-licensed reference product with no meaningful clinical differences. An interchangeable product meets additional FDA requirements proving it can be substituted for the reference biologic at the pharmacy level without prescriber involvement.
