These drugs are typically used to treat chronic medical conditions. They can greatly reduce the severity of symptoms and improve the quality of life of those affected. In addition to making a significant clinical difference in patients&rsquo; lives, they also generate substantial profits for pharmaceutical companies.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blockbuster drugs often shape research and development in the pharmaceutical industry, paving the way for newer medications. As a pharmacist, you can stay up-to-date on upcoming U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals and the latest blockbuster drugs to ensure your patients get the best treatment possible.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on to learn more about potential blockbuster drugs of 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bimekizumab-bimzelx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bimekizumab (Bimzelx)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bimekizumab is a dual anti-IL-17A and anti-IL-17F monoclonal antibody used to treat various inflammatory diseases.
