 PROFILE
From A to Z, drugmaker AstraZeneca can handle the Rx from your MD. The company was formed in 1999 by the union of UK-based Zeneca Group with Sweden's Astra. Ulcer-fighting Prilosec (known as Losec outside the US), is the world's top-selling prescription drug and accounts for 40% of the firm's sales. The company also makes anesthetics (Xylocaine), cancer treatments (Nolvadex), and drugs to treat cardiovascular (Atacand), respiratory (Pulmicort), and other ailments. Subsidiaries operate US cancer treatment centers and make and sell medical devices, implants, and health food products. The company merged its agrochemical business with that of Novartis and spun it off as Syngenta.
