AmerisourceBergen sources and distributes pharmaceutical products in the United States and internationally. In September 2017, the company's AmerisourceBergen Specialty Group unit pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor related to the sale of syringes containing drugs for cancer patients, double billing, and providing kickbacks to doctors, and paid $260 million in criminal fines and forfeitures. The Company also entered a five-year corporate integrity agreement to ensure compliance with federal health care rules.

On October 1, 2018, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that the Company will pay $625 million to resolve civil fraud charges over related conduct, bringing AmerisourceBergen's total payments to $885 million over its repackaging and distribution of pre-filled syringes that were not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
