The opportunity to serve patients in key areas of medicine where we have scientific and medical expertise is the guiding principle of Abbott Pakistan's pharmaceutical division. Pharmaceuticals often represent the first, and one of the safest, least expensive treatment option for doctors and their patients. By carefully targeting our research efforts and pursuing additional indications for existing compounds, we deliver products that offer significant benefits in such areas as AIDS, infectious diseases, gastroenterology and urology, as well as in the fields of cancer and diabetes.

Doctors and patients across the country are also familiar with our leading antibiotics, used in the fight against bacterial infections. And given Abbott's leadership status in this area, we are equally dedicated to promoting rationalized antibiotic use.

For as many leading branded pharmaceuticals as the Abbott team currently represents ---Erythrocin®, Klaricid®, and Hytrin®, Vitamin, Heamatinic, Cough / Cold among others --- there are many more innovative therapies under consideration as meaningful solutions to health problems continue to be sought.

Abbott Pakistan balances its sales efforts with a substantial investment in educational initiatives for physicians, Pharmacists and regulatory officials. What does the health care community need, now and tomorrow? Abbott Pakistan is listening.
