More Than 60 Years in Women’s Health Care

For more than 60 years, Wyeth has been the leader in Woman’s Health with its postmenopausal hormone therapies and oral contraceptives. Wyeth is committed to developing new therapies with the potential to significantly improve the health of women worldwide. To achieve this goal, Wyeth formed the Women’s Health Research Institute® — the only institute in the pharmaceutical industry dedicated solely to research in women’s health — and currently invests more than $130 million annually in clinical research. After several years of research, Wyeth introduced new low doses of its postmenopausal hormone therapy products. Research is currently underway on several other products intended to improve the quality of women’s lives, including a low-dose continuous contraceptive, a non-hormonal therapy for the relief of menopausal hot flashes, and a new therapy for the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Neuroscience

Wyeth’s global neuroscience efforts have produced a novel therapy for depression and for the treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Working with three discovery platforms — small molecules, vaccines, and biotechnology — Wyeth researchers continue to develop treatments targeted for a wide range of central nervous system disabilities, such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia.

Vaccines and Infectious Disease

Wyeth’s vaccines and infectious disease franchises share a common mission: to reduce the number of serious illnesses and deaths from bacterial and viral infections and to address the growing problem of bacterial resistance to existing treatments. In recent years, Wyeth has developed some of the most innovative vaccines in the health care arena. Our R&D focuses on producing vaccines for infants and children around the world. We are proud of the impact Wyeth has had on children’s lives, and we are dedicated to continually developing vaccines so children can have a healthier future.

Musculoskeletal

Wyeth’s musculoskeletal franchise develops important new therapies for patients with joint and bone disorders. Our products include treatments for rheumatoid arthritis that help patients lead more active lives. In addition, Wyeth has a strong presence in the osteoarthritis treatment market. In research, Wyeth scientists are investigating novel treatments for bone and tissue repair, which may impact fracture healing and post-surgical recovery.

Internal Medicine

Our broad and expanding internal medicine franchise includes cardiovascular and gastrointestinal products. Wyeth’s internal medicine researchers are exploring novel approaches to treat diabetes, heart conditions, and vascular disorders.

Hemophilia

Since the 1980s, Wyeth has been a global leader in the search for safer and more effective treatments for hemophilia A & B. As a result of this commitment, and a significant investment in recombinant DNA technology, our efforts have led to important medical advances in the treatment of these potentially debilitating diseases.

Immunology and Oncology

Wyeth’s work in immunology focuses on producing novel immunosuppressants for organ transplantation. Our efforts in oncology include chemotherapy agents for acute myeloid leukemia and a platelet growth promoter to help patients after chemotherapy. Wyeth currently has several promising oncology therapies in clinical trials, including treatments for renal cell carcinoma, breast cancer and mantle cell lymphoma.
