AbbVie sells products worldwide through wholesalers, distributors, government agencies, health care facilities, specialty pharmacies and independent retailers, using company-owned distribution centers and public warehouses. Aesthetic products and devices are also sold directly to physicians and other licensed health care providers. In the United States, pharmaceutical products are distributed principally through independent wholesale distributors, with some direct sales to retailers, pharmacies, patients and other customers. Outside the United States, sales are primarily to wholesalers or through distributors, and AbbVie works with largely centralized national payer systems on reimbursement terms in some markets; certain products are co-marketed or co-promoted.
