Conditions

When you or a family member or friend is diagnosed with an illness finding unbalanced and factual information you can trust is always a key priority. In this section is information about all the conditions our medicines are used to treat and links to organisations that can provide you with such information.

Our mission includes finding answers for some of the world´s unmet medical needs. We focus our internal research efforts primarily on four core therapeutic areas: neuroscience; endocrine disorders; cancer; and cardiovascular diseases.

We also continue to pursue innovative science and new opportunities beyond our targeted disease categories. We embrace a philosophy of "research innovation without walls," meaning that we pursue cutting-edge science and technology from external, as well as internal, sources.

In the last decade, we have introduced important new drugs for the treatment of cancer, schizophrenia, osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular complications and severe sepsis. Our pipeline, one of the strongest in the industry, has the potential to address many serious unmet medical needs of people around the world.
