Why it matters
AbbVie is targeting over $5 billion in combined Parkinson's disease sales. However, the drug's market uptake is expected to be gradual as negotiations regarding Medicare coverage progress.
Medicare eligibility rules influence AbbVie's drug pricing, and the United States Food and Drug Administration regulates drug classification and approval for Medicare beneficiaries.
