*Source: IMS HEALTH. Growth rates are calculated at a constant exchange rate, (i.e. at the local currency level).The unique system in Japan reduces the importance of the retail pharmacy in the distribution chain so sales for Japan include hospital data. For the USA, retail, foodstore and mail order pharmacy channels are included. In other countries sales monitored are limited to retail pharmacies only.
