Brand and Specialty

A trusted partner in the commercialization journey

Product success depends on more than approval
and availability. Often it hinges on affordability, or adherence, or prescriber
awareness, or a combination of dozens of other factors. AmerisourceBergen understands
this and has spent decades partnering with brand and specialty manufacturers to
optimize each stage—and each decision—along the product lifecycle. Our
Signature® commercialization solutions are tailored to the needs of each product to
maximize results. It’s no wonder we’ve played a role in the success of
virtually every specialty product over the past 20 years.

Expand into the Canadian Market
The journey to bring complex, innovative products into the ever evolving Canadian market requires a partner who is laser-focused on the requirements for a strategic launch and operationalizing throughout the product lifecycle. For manufacturers new to the Canadian healthcare system, understanding the diverse regulatory and reimbursement landscape can be daunting. With 10 provinces and three territories—each with its own approach to public drug coverage, review processes, timelines and priorities—you need an experienced partner with in-depth knowledge to help guide your successful commercialization strategy.
