2000–present

  • In 2000 American Home Products lost a $65 billion friendly takeover bid for rival drug company Warner-Lambert in their most dramatic merger loss yet. After the merger announcement, Pfizer offered a competing hostile bid, primarily to save their half of a Lipitor joint venture with Warner (at the time the #1 Rx drug in the world). At one point talks were under way in which Procter & Gamble would help by buying both companies in a wild three-way merger, a rumor which cost P&G a 10% drop in its stock price. Eventually, despite both CEOs going on tour to defend the deal to shareholders, Pfizer won Warner-Lambert and formed the second largest drug company in the world, while AHP had to settle for a $1.8 billion poison pill payment.
  • Robert Essner, the company's current CEO, was appointed in 2001.
  • In 2002, American Home Products changed its name to Wyeth, having spun off unrelated businesses in order to focus on pharmaceuticals.
  • After large-scale scientific trials showed long term use of Prempro may increase risks of strokes, heart attacks, blood clots, and breast cancer, Wyeth experienced a significant decline in its sales of Premarin, Prempro (conjugated equine estrogens) and related hormones[citation needed], from over $2 billion in 2002 to $880,000,000 in 2004.[1] The results from the study were alarming enough that the trials were terminated due to a fear that their participants may be at risk. Although it is a corporation, Wyeth subsequently filed a 'citizens complaint' with the FDA on October 16, 2005, requesting that the US FDA prohibit pharmacies from providing bio-identical hormones to their patients. If honored, the request would undercut competitors, primarily those engaged in alternative medicine. See Hormone replacement therapy.
  • The European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection blamed the presence of illegal steroids in the food supply on "fraudulent exchange and disposal of pharmaceutical waste". A Wyeth factory disposing of the byproducts from synthetic progesterone manufacture was the source of the contamination. [2]
  • In 2003 Wyeth reportedly contributed funds to a not-for-profit support group, The Meningitis Centre, which lobbies the Australian Government to introduce universal immunisation against pneumococcal disease.[3]. Wyeth produces the only pneumococcal vaccine approved for young children in Australia.
