Wyeth Korea Products Wyeth Korea is a pharmaceutical
company concentrating on prescription and treatment
medicines. Its representative items include hormones,
vaccines, anti-depression agents, antibiotics
and anti-inflammation enzymes. It is expected
that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) agents
for women after the menopause will be the item
to exceed the net sales of 10 billion won for
the first time for Wyeth Korea. The main products
are Premarin
and Premelle.
Premarin tablets are the only natural combination-type
estrogen preparation approved by the American
FDA. They are used by more than 50 million women
throughout the world since they cure diseases
of the vascular movement system and urological
system of women during menopause and are very
effective for the prevention and treatment of
osteoporosis and cardiac diseases. The vaccine,
HibTITER
, which is a preventive vaccine for cerebral meningitis,
is representative and effective for the prevention
of inflammatory disease by hemophilus influenza
b type in 2- to 71-month-old infants and children.
Also, Efexor
and Efexor XR,
which are the first anti-depression agents in
the SNRI group, have infinite potential to grow
since they are characterized by excellent safety,
low-tolerant drug interaction. Furthermore, the
company owns 24 prescription and treatment medicines
including Tazocin(Piperacillin/Tazobactam)
which is evaluated to be the most recent and remarkable
drug in the ¥â-lactamase inhibitor group in the
domestic antibiotics market, Novantrone which is a leading anti-cancer drug, aridase
Varidase which is an extensive anti-inflammation
enzyme, Materna-Beta
which is a composite hemotogenous nutrient for
pregnant women and nursing mothers. All of these
have the potential to grow as expected by Wyeth
Korea, Inc.
Still further, the company is preparing for introduction
of epoch-making new drugs sooner or later such
as Enbrel which is an innovating rheumatoic arthritis
treatment agent, Prevenar which is a vaccine for
pneumonia mictococci in newly born infants, ReFacto
which is a gene recombinant blood coagulation
factor for the treatment of leukemia, Rapamune
which is an immunization suppressing agent for
the prevention of tissue rejection for organ transplantations.
