pharmaceutical companies
Prescription drug producers
Pharmaceutical companies are businesses that research, develop, manufacture, and market drugs and medications.
The term often carries connotations of corporate scale and profit motive: Pharmaceutical companies have raised prices again.
In casual speech, frequently shortened to pharma or big pharma, the latter suggesting outsized industry influence over healthcare policy and medical practice.
