 PROFILE
"À votre santé!" French drugmaker Sanofi-Synthélabo isn't just concerned with the health of Europe; it wants to make sure "les Américains" are in the pink, too. The merger of Sanofi and Synthélabo was designed to catapult the new company to a prime position in the US market. The company specializes in cardiovascular, central nervous system, oncology, and internal medicine formulations; approximately 50 new drugs (more than half in clinical trials) are in its pipeline. It also makes OTC and generic drugs. Its predecessors sold their cosmetic and perfume operations before merging, along with some drugs that raised monopoly concerns. TotalFina Elf is cutting its stake, which stands at about 30%; L'Oréal owns 19%.
