Cheers to 5 years

A legacy of innovation with FormularyDecisions

In May 2019, Xcenda, a subsidiary of Cencora, acquired Dymaxium, the company behind the development and launch of FormularyDecisions. Once an exclusive eDossier hosting platform, FormularyDecisions has evolved to meet the needs of biopharma companies and healthcare decision makers over the last 5 years we have built upon our offerings to subscribers, expanded out reach through our partnership with AMCP, and created access to additional resources for HCDMs that can streamline the search for product information.  


Over the past 5 years, there has been a more than 8-fold increase in HCDM activity:
