In 1888, physician and drug store proprietor Dr.

Wallace C. Abbott began producing accurate,

scientifically formulated medications with the goal of

providing more effective therapies to patients and the

physicians providing their care.

Under the pioneering leadership of Dr. Abbott, our company was among the founders of the scientific practice of pharmacy, expanding its business to meet rising global health needs by championing new areas of medical research. By continually entering new areas—both scientific and geographic—we’ve established a now long-standing tradition of helping ever more people live healthier lives around the world.

A HISTORY OF NURTURING HUMAN POTENTIAL

A FUTURE FULL OF POSSIBILITIES

For 135 years, we’ve adapted to an increasingly complex healthcare environment by keeping our focus where it belongs—on helping people achieve their best possible health, in all stages of life, around the world. And that’s a goal we’ll continue to pursue far into the future.
