Merck is a global healthcare company that delivers innovative health solutions through its prescription medicines, vaccines, biologic therapies, animal health, and consumer care products, which it markets directly and through its joint ventures.
Our vision is to make a difference in the lives of people globally and we aspire to be the best healthcare company in the world. We are dedicated to providing leading innovations and solutions for tomorrow.
The merger of Merck and Schering-Plough greatly expanded our combined company's product offerings in a range of areas, including heart and respiratory health, infectious diseases, sun care and women's health. We continue to focus our research on conditions that affect millions of people around the world—diseases like Alzheimer's, diabetes and cancer—while expanding our strengths in areas like vaccines and biologics.
Vaccines
Vaccines are one of the greatest public health success stories of the 20th century, and Merck has played its part in that story.
We are one of a few companies that remain dedicated to the complex business of researching and producing vaccines. Our unique contributions include the prevention of now rare diseases, like measles and mumps, to diseases never thought preventable, like shingles and cervical cancer.
Animal Health
Through Merck's animal health business, we are a global leader in the research, development, manufacturing and sale of veterinary medicines.
We offer a broad choice of vaccines, anti-infective and anti-parasitic drugs, a complete range of fertility management products, pharmaceutical specialty products, innovative delivery solutions, performance technologies and value-added programs, such as pet recovery services and livestock data management tools. learn more
