Merck knows there can't be just one opiate for the masses. Through a network of some 170 companies in about 50 countries, the German firm (ancestor to US drug giant Merck & Co.) develops, makes, and sells pharmaceutical and chemical products for global consumption. Name-brand prescription drugs include antibiotics, gastrointestinal aids, and treatments for cardiovascular disease; the company is also active in cancer therapy research and makes generic and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals. Besides drugs, the firm sells laboratory materials and specialty chemicals (food additives, liquid crystals, cosmetics). Merck also distributes laboratory products in Europe and North America.
