Our Drug Pricing Approach

Our approach to pricing medicines reflects our strong commitment to bringing the right treatment options to patients who may benefit from them. When setting prices, we aim to make our medicines accessible to as many patients as possible, while recognizing the value they bring to patients, providers and the overall healthcare system.
