Dow Jones Description
We are a research-based pharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing differentiated products that address large and growing markets and unmet medical needs and are prescribed principally by primary care physicians and certain specialists. Our drug discovery and development program, together with our corporate development and licensing activities, have yielded a portfolio of products and product candidates intended to treat a broad range of indications. We are currently concentrating our product development efforts in two therapeutic areas: respiratory diseases and central nervous system, or CNS, disorders. In our isomer and metabolite development program, we identify existing drugs that might, in single-isomer or active-metabolite forms, provide significant advances over existing therapies within the indications of the existing drug or in new indications. We then develop isomers or metabolites designed to offer benefits over both the existing drug and competitive compounds, such as reduced side effects, improved therapeutic efficacy, effectiveness for new indications or improved dosage forms. Our development program for new chemical entities encompasses a more traditional approach to drug development. ...
