PROFILE |
 |
Novartis (derived from "novae artes", which is Latin for "new skills") is the world's top pharmaceutical firm (by sales). Prescription drugs, including hypertensives Diovan and Lotrel and transplant drug Neoral, comprise some 60% of the firm's revenues. Novartis' consumer health unit includes such brands as Gerber baby foods, ExLax, Maalox, Tavist, and Theraflu and generates nearly one-fourth of revenues. The company also makes and sells contact lenses and eye care products (CIBA Vision and Novartis Ophthalmics), animal health products, and generic pharmaceuticals. Novartis spun off its agrichemicals unit and combined it with AstraZeneca's to form stand-alone company Syngenta.
