AbbVie is vying for dominance in the world of medications. The firm discovers, develops, and commercializes both biopharmaceuticals and small molecule drugs, with a focus on autoimmune diseases, hepatitis C, HIV, and other ailments. Key products include arthritis and Crohn's disease treatment Humira; TriCor, Trilipix, and Niaspan for high cholesterol; HIV drugs Kaletra and Norvir; and low testosterone treatment AndroGel. Humira, best known as a rheumatoid arthritis drug, accounts for more than 60% of AbbVie's sales. The firm has seven facilities making products that are available in more than 170 countries. With Humira's patent protection expiring in 2016, the R&D firm is looking for the next big thing.
