 PROFILE
Don't be lulled by Abbott Laboratories' innocuous name: It is one of the US's top health care products makers. Its Ross Products division makes such well-known nutritionals as Similac (infant formula) and Ensure (nutrition supplement), but about half of the company's sales are pharmaceuticals and hospital products, including drug-delivery systems, intensive care products, anti-infectives, antibiotics, and such other drugs as Norvir, which treats HIV. Joint venture TAP Pharmaceutical Products makes best-selling prostate cancer drug Lupron. Abbott is also a leading diagnostics company, with tests for HIV, strep throat, and pregnancy. The company has purchased BASF's pharmaceuticals unit to increase its drug pipeline.
