pharmaceutical sales

Medication commerce industry

Pharmaceutical sales is the business of marketing and selling prescription drugs, typically to doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies rather than directly to patients.

Pharmaceutical sales representatives visit healthcare providers to promote medications, provide samples, and convey clinical data.

The field is known for its lucrative commissions and the ethical questions surrounding its influence on prescribing practices.
