BUILDING A NEW KIND OF HEALTH CARE COMPANY —
The Transformation Unfolds
Schering-Plough 2005 Company Overview
“Knowing that people are depending on
you makes me realize how important
the work we do here is. As an analytical
chemist, my job is to make sure that
only high-quality, effective medications
get to the patients in our clinical trials
and in the health care systems. We do
this by developing laboratory experi-
ments to test the purity, potency and
stability of our medicines. We’re always
encountering scientific challenges,
situations where you know the answer
is out there and it’s just a matter of
finding it. Through cross-functional team-
work and collaboration, we find those
answers, and in the process help make
sure Schering-Plough continues providing
a reliable supply of high-quality medi-
cines that do good things for patients.”
Cover Story:
Kristan Amicone is a scientist in Analytical Development, Pharmaceutical Sciences, for Schering-Plough Research Institute in Kenilworth, N.J. She works as an ana-lytical chemist primarily on pharmaceuti-cals in late-stage development.
Schering-Plough is a global pharmaceutical company with leading prescription, consumer and animal health products. Today, the Company
is focused on delivering the Turnaround phase of its five-step Action Agenda, the blueprint for a fundamental transformation that began in 2003. Our goal is to provide a steady flow of innovative, science-based medicines
and services, and to earn the trust of the physicians, patients and other customers we serve. By doing this well, we seek to build long-term,
sustainable growth. In everything we do, we remain committed to business integrity, quality and compliance.

A Message from the CEO
“It all begins with the people.” This mindset has been driving a remark- able and continuing transformation of our organization. Today, I look with a lot of pride at what has been achieved by putting such faith in our people.
Out of a company that was under severe stress three years ago,
the people of Schering-Plough are steadily building an exciting new enterprise. Step by step, we are suc-ceeding – and growing.
The roadmap for our transformation has been a six- to eight-year Action Agenda that began with the Stabilize and Repair phases. Even as important dimensions of that work continue,
Fred Hassan, chairman and chief executive officer, Schering-Plough Corporation.
we are now deeply engaged in driving our Turnaround phase. We are moving from survive mode into thrive mode. We are investing for the long term – in better processes, in our supply chain,
in research and development, and in other areas, around the world.
This long-term commitment is so important because bringing new medicines from the lab to patients is a 10- to 15-year process. For example, we are investing heavily in creating a new treatment for hepatitis C. This compound could change the way doctors treat tens of thousands of patients suffering from this terrible disease. It is one of a number of promising new therapies that we are advancing from our labs toward patients.
Everywhere we look today, the health care environment is changing at high speed. This can be unsettling, even frightening – especially for more vulnerable populations. As we drive the continuing transformation of Schering-Plough, we are striving to put the patient at the center of how we think and what we do.
We are working hard to create value through superior R&D and manufac-turing, and then transfer the value through empathetic and useful medi-
cal education and patient-access programs. We see our role as a champion for doctors and patients. Our aim is to become very good in every dimension of our work, to keep learning, improving and reinventing ourselves. Our people know that superb medical science must be at the heart of this.
We also feel a special responsibility. We understand that our work directly affects the health and happiness of patients. We know that the potential new medicines in our pipeline are precious discoveries. They could save someone from cancer, prevent heartdisease, or bring new treatments to people living with HIV/AIDS.
This sense of special purpose is part of what makes me feel good about this Company and what we are doing. I am also moved by the attitude and performance of our people.
Our people have shown a special courage in confronting the difficult challenges we have faced as we build a new Schering-Plough. They are learn-ing and growing in a unique school of transformational change. I spend a lot of my time visiting our operations around the world and
also meeting with our customers and with other stakeholders. What I see and hear is that our teams are energized. They are passionate. They are getting in tune with each other and with our stakeholders. They are taking the time to listen to others and to learn. They are striving to execute with excellence.
When we began this transformational journey almost three years ago, we said that our vision was to earn trust – with each other, in our Company, and with our stakeholders. We know that trust gets earned by behavior and per-formance. Step by step, we believe we are making progress.
As we look ahead, we see a bright and fresh dawn breaking for Schering-Plough. We have a lot of challenges ahead, but I have confidence about our growing strength to overcome them. Above all, it is rewarding to know that we are succeeding because we are doing good things for health. Yes, it all begins with the people.
Sincerely,
Fred HassanChairman and Chief Executive Officer
Q: Hepatitis C is such an under-treated
and misunderstood disease. What can
be done to improve this situation?
DR. SMITH: Hepatitis C causes enormous
damage to societies around the world.
It is the number one cause of liver
transplants in this country. In some
places it is a worse problem even than
HIV/AIDS, and it is also very commonly
a co-infection with HIV.
The key needs right now are to get better
screening for HCV so people can get
treatment, and we need to have better
health literacy and behavior so people
do not get infected in the first place.
HASSAN: This disease still carries a stigma,
somewhat like HIV/AIDS. We must
break down that stigma. This will take
courage, including political courage.
Also, we need better treatments. While
treatment has improved, there is still
a huge, unmet need.
Q: Not long ago many people said that
there was not a big need for new
treatments for infectious diseases.
Now we hear about new, resistant
strains of bacteria and, of course, the
avian flu threat. What’s going on?
DR. SMITH: It was a big mistake to be
complacent – although I have to say
I have never felt complacent about
infectious disease! Clearly we need
new treatments, not only for hepatitis C
and HIV/AIDS, but for other serious
infections. Avian flu appears to show us
also – again – the challenge posed by
organisms that mutate and can resist
established treatments. The bacterial
resistance problem is huge and growing.
HASSAN: This is an area in which research-
based pharmaceutical and biopharma
companies could have been doing much
more over the past decade or so.
Now attention is being re-focused on this
area. It is an important example of where
the key is to keep thinking outside of
the box, not accepting common wisdom.
Q: Choices about prescribing and
taking medicines depend on striking
a balance between effectiveness and
safety. Where are we today, post the
Vioxx withdrawal?
HASSAN: The pendulum has clearly swung
too far. We are seeing a preoccupation
with safety that could begin to harm the
flow of new treatments that patients
need. If we expect total safety from a
medicine, we will have no new medicines.
Even aspirin has side effects. This calls
for a much higher level of health and
science literacy in our societies.
Then we can begin to get the right,
balanced approach.
DR. SMITH: Another way of looking at this
is that expectations are unrealistic.
Some people have the expectation that
everything can be solved, and that they
do not have responsibilities. The reality
is that we all need to take responsibility
for our own health, for health mainte-
nance and disease prevention. Things like
eating right, getting exercise, not smok-
ing, getting vaccinated.
Q: Speaking of health literacy and
awareness, what about advertisements
for prescription drugs?
DR. SMITH: I actually believe even more
communication with consumers,
including more advertising, would be
appropriate. It’s all in how you do it.
How it is executed is key. I personally
feel health education advertising about
disease states would be compelling.
HASSAN: Advertising and other communi-
cations with consumers are something
relatively new when it comes to prescrip-
tion drugs. Everyone is learning. As a
result, I think you will see different kinds
of communications in the next few
years – more appropriate, more tailored
to the special situations of health care.
Dialogue: Fred Hassan and Leon G. Smith, M.D., M.A.C.P.
Fred Hassan, Schering-Plough chairman and CEO, and Leon G. Smith, M.D., M.A.C.P., chairman of Medicine at Saint Michael’s Medical Center, Newark, N.J., and executive vicepresident, Health Care Policy, for Catholic Health & Human Services, exchanged ideas (below) on current health care issues and pharmaceutical research challenges. Dr. Smith is a practicing physician and globally recognized infectious disease expert.
“It All Begins With the People”
The people of Schering-Plough are making our transformation happen. With passion, courage and tenacity,
they are building a new kind of health care company.In the pages that follow, some of our people introduce
themselves and what they do.
“We work at the forefront of science in drug discovery, looking for new compounds to affect the pathways of disease.”
“In our labs, we apply proprietary screening
and chemistry technologies to identify
novel, active compounds. Someday these
compounds or variations may become
medicines to treat cancer, inflammation
or infection. The idea that my work could
in the future help improve someone’s
health or save a life is compelling. I find
it exciting and energizing to be part of
this process, and to work for a major
pharmaceutical company that can take a
compound from early discovery to
the global health care marketplace.”
Jerry Shipps, Ph.D., is director of chemical research for Schering-Plough Research Institute in Cambridge, Mass. He also is the scientific co-founder of NeoGenesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., from which Schering-Plough acquired assets in 2005. His team in Lead Discovery focuses on identifying drug development candidates in cancer, inflammation and infection.
- Jerry Shipps, Ph.D.
“It’s rewarding to know that the scientific information I provide can help doctors make better treatment decisions for their patients.”
“The patient is really the focus of what I
do. As a sales representative, I’m on
the frontlines every day, speaking with
health care professionals who directly
counsel and treat patients. I work hard to
build relationships with my customers –
and to earn their trust. I find that this
happens when I am providing new infor-
mation that helps them achieve their
goal – making the best treatment
choices for their patients. I feel great
when I hear about success stories
and how better treatment has helped
improve the health of a patient.”
Bo Kwok is a district trainer and professional sales representative for respiratory products. Her territory is Manhattan South in New York City.
- Bo Kwok
“What makes me feel great is coaching my people and seeing them make a difference.”
“Our goal is to deliver on our commitments
and to earn the trust of our stakeholders.
One of the key initiatives in my country
operation has been to bring alive our
Company’s commitment to a collaborative,
shared-accountability way of working
with colleagues. This is resulting in a
better, more efficient and trusted organi-
zation. In Greece, we are seeing that,
by being aligned in how we work, we are
adding value and serving our patients
and doctors better.”
Maria Teresa Rico is general manager, Greece, based in Athens. She is responsible for Schering-Plough’s business operations in Greece and Cyprus.
- Maria Teresa Rico
Stephen Morales is senior product manager, Global Cholesterol Marketing, in Kenilworth, N.J. His responsibilities include the marketing of Vytorin and Zetia, cholesterol-lowering medicines managed through a joint venture with Merck & Co., Inc.
“Science is at the center of our cholesterol-lowering franchise, and it adds apowerful message for our products.”
“Communicating science and information
is an important part of my job. We work
to provide doctors with the tools they
need to help their patients understand
the value of lowering their cholesterol,
of getting to goal. High cholesterol is one
of the major risk factors for heart disease,
a leading killer of women and men
around the world. This is why I find it so
rewarding working with researchers
to communicate the science behind
Vytorin and Zetia. Sharing scientific
innovation and education ultimately
benefits patients, helping them live
healthier lives.”
- Stephen Morales
“It’s fascinating to work on creating technology solutions that can deliver improved product benefits for consumers.”
“Skin cancer is the most prevalent of all
types of cancers, yet it is largely prevent-
able. We need to find ways to make it
easier and more pleasant for consumers
to protect themselves against the
damaging effects of the sun. In Sun Care
R&D and New Technologies, we’re dedi-
cated to identifying technology solutions
to create innovative products that bring
new benefits. Coppertone Continuous
spray Sunscreen is an example of
how we joined a known packaging
system and sunscreen formulation
to create a significantly improved
consumer experience.”
Beth Anne Lange, Ph.D., is senior director of Sun Care R&D and New Technologies for Consumer Health Care in Memphis, Tenn. Her team in Sun Care R&D develops innovative sunscreen products. In New Technologies R&D, her team identifies novel technology solutions for sun care and foot care products and over-the-counter medicines.
- Beth Anne Lange, Ph.D.
“Turning a compound into a medicine that can be manufactured commercially is challenging – and rewarding.”
“I’m part of a team working directly in the
product flow pathway from the discovery
laboratory to the patient. We develop
manufacturing processes for oral dosage
products for Schering-Plough, providing
scientific expertise and technical support
during the small-scale manufacture
of compounds used in clinical trials.
Throughout the development
process – through scale-up and technology
transfer to the commercial manufacturing
site -- we work to ensure that our
compounds consistently meet high quality
standards. I learn something new every
day in this job, as the science and tech-
nology continue to evolve.”
Colin Walters is a principal scientist, Pharmaceutical Development, in Kenilworth, N.J. He provides technical leadership in developing manufacturing processes for oral dosage forms of Schering-Plough products.
- Colin Walters
Every medicine we create begins as
an idea in the mind of one of our people.
Often the spark comes from witnessing
firsthand a patient’s medical need.
At Schering-Plough, an important part
of my job is to create an environment
that allows those ideas to develop into
successful drugs – by putting science
at the center of a highly collaborative
way of working.
Our primary driver in deciding what
treatments to pursue is medical need.
Input for that comes from a variety of
sources. Communication with physicians
and with patients themselves is an
important source of insight, as are new
scientific findings from labs around
the world.
A few years ago some of our scientists
in Milan, Italy, were studying Parkinson’s
disease and wanted to learn more about
what patients really need. By sitting
down and talking with neurologists and
their patients, our scientists learned that
the most disturbing aspect of the disease
was not the tremors but rather the akine-
sia, or sudden inability to move. So our
scientists began focusing on this aspect
back in the labs, and today this thinking
is driving our continuing research into
movement disorders.
Similarly, meeting with cancer patients
or confronting the tragedy of Alzheimer’s
disease drives our discovery and clinical
scientists to work even harder to discover
a drug that has the “legs” to make it all
the way through initial development and
clinical testing to the patient.
Another factor in deciding what to pursue
is determining what is mechanistically
possible. We focus much of our research
efforts on molecular targets that have the
potential to become sources of drugs for
multiple therapeutic areas. At Schering-
Plough, both small molecule and biologics
efforts are integrated into a single discov-
ery organization, positioning us to adopt
the best approach for each therapeutic tar-
get. Our Company’s size, the proximity of
our researchers to one another, and their
collaborative behaviors produce a synergy
across these approaches that makes the
science move faster. We further strength-
ened our small molecule and biologics
capabilities in 2005 with the consolidation
of our California labs to form Schering-
Plough Biopharma and the opening of our
new research site in Cambridge, Mass.
Building a Science-centered Company
“Meeting with cancer patients or confronting the
tragedy of Alzheimer’s disease drives our discovery
and clinical scientists to work even harder.”
Catherine D. Strader, Ph.D., is executive vice president for Discovery Research at Schering-Plough Research Institute in Kenilworth, N.J. She is responsible for Schering-Plough’s global drug discovery operations, including biology, genomics, medicinal and structural chemistry research, conducted through both internal programs and external collaborations.
Innovation also results from the science
we apply to existing projects and treat-
ments. For example, interferon alfa-2b
started out as a treatment for hairy cell
leukemia, a rare cancer. Through the
continued application of clinical science,
we discovered new uses, more effective
drug combinations and more convenient
formulations. PeG-Intron/Rebetol com-
bination therapy is now a standard of
care for hepatitis C. This kind of research
expands the utility of our medicines,
with the result that more patients benefit.
For patients, new drug delivery systems
and formulations can be important
medical innovations. If a new formulation
makes it possible for a patient to take
one pill a day instead of three, that’s
a change that can ensure more consis-
tent dosing and yield a better medical
outcome. The pharmaceutical science
behind these types of innovations is
a real strength within Schering-Plough.
One of the hallmarks of Schering-
Plough’s science is that we focus on
getting the job done, not on artificial
boundaries. Discovery and development
scientists collaborate with physicians
outside the Company and with
commercial colleagues to bring a drug
forward in our pipeline. Wonderful in-
sights come from these collaborations.
The science behind the discovery of
a compound drives the development
strategy. Conversely, knowledge gained
during the development process can
have a tremendous impact on the next
compound in our discovery pipeline.
This same collaborative mindset makes
us attractive as a partner to smaller
biotech companies and other outside
organizations.
Schering-Plough invested $1.9 billion in
research and development in 2005, and
we expect to spend more in future years.
These investments have built a strong
early development pipeline, with potential
treatments for oncology, inflammation,
infectious and respiratory diseases, and
cardiovascular and neurological diseases.
As we set our research goals, we believe
it is very important that we continue
to go after new frontiers. This is where
the risk of failure is very high, but where,
if we succeed, we can really change
the paradigm for treating disease.
Patients are waiting for these new treat-
ments. This is what gives our work
such urgency.
- Catherine D. Strader, Ph.D.
“Patients are waiting for these new treatments.
This is what gives our work such urgency.”
Our Customer Focus
At Schering-Plough, we organize and
develop our product lines around our
customers. For primary care physicians,
we bring together medicines that will
be most useful to them and appropriate
for the patients they treat. In specialty
care, we group our products according
to the needs of health professionals
treating specialized therapy areas, such as
oncology and infectious disease, as well
as hospital-based treatment centers.
“Our business is based on science. We seek to discover new molecules that can prevent, modify or block the progression of disease. When we succeed, patients benefit.”

Our animal health business also allows
Schering-Plough to take discoveries
made in human pharmaceuticals and
find new applications in treating
animal populations.
Cholesterol Franchise
Schering-Plough has rapidly become a
global cardiovascular leader, building on
the strength of its cholesterol franchise.
Our cholesterol-lowering medicines are
Vytorin and Zetia, managed through
a joint venture with Merck & Co., Inc.
Cardiovascular disease is a leading killer
around the world, with high cholesterol
being a major risk factor. Zetia and Vytorin
offer physicians valuable medicines
to address this serious health challenge.
Discovered by Schering-Plough
researchers, Zetia is the first agent to
selectively inhibit the absorption of
cholesterol in the intestine. Vytorin
combines both Zetia and Merck’s Zocor
(simvastatin) statin product. Vytorin
is the first and only once-daily medication
able to inhibit both the absorption
and production of cholesterol.
Primary Care Schering-Plough has long been a leader
in the U.S. respiratory market. For the
treatment of asthma, we broadened
our U.S. product offerings in 2005 with
Asmanex Twisthaler, an orally inhaled
corticosteroid. The product is also avail-
able in a number of international countries.
We continue to make available in
the U.S. Foradil Aerolizer, a long-acting
beta2 agonist, for asthma and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease.
For treating allergies, Nasonex, a nasally
inhaled corticosteroid, became the
fastest-growing U.S. brand in its category
in 2005. The Clarinex family of
nonsedating antihistamines is now
available in six formulations to help pa-
tients address their allergy symptoms.
Our U.S. primary care treatments
also include the antibiotics Avelox and
Cipro and the erectile dysfunction
medicine Levitra (co-promoted with
GlaxoSmithKline), under a strategic
alliance with Bayer.
Specialty Care
In hepatitis C, we are a global leader
in the discovery and development
of new therapies to treat this serious
disease, which afflicts more than
10 million people in developed world
markets. The Company offers the
combination therapy of PEG-Intron,
a once-weekly alpha interferon,
with the antiviral agent Rebetol.
The newest addition to our anti-
infective portfolio is Noxafil, an oral
treatment for serious invasive fungal
infections. Noxafil was approved in
the European Union in October 2005.
A U.S. application was granted priority
review in February 2006.
In the area of anti-inflammatory
agents, Remicade is a leading medicine
in a class known as anti-tumor
necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)
therapies. This monoclonal antibody
has been shown to offer significant
benefits for patients with such
debilitating diseases as rheumatoid
arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis,
psoriatic arthritis, Crohn’s disease,
ulcerative colitis and psoriasis.
We make this therapy available in
certain countries outside the U.S.
Oncology is a treatment area where
Schering-Plough intends to grow
its presence. We offer Temodar,
a treatment for certain types of brain
tumors; Caelyx, marketed outside of
the U.S. as a treatment for advanced
ovarian cancer, metastatic breast
cancer and AIDS-related Kaposi’s
sarcoma; and Intron A for malignant
melanoma and other cancers.
In cardiovascular care, we assumed
exclusive U.S. marketing rights in 2005
to InteGrilin, a GP IIb-IIIa inhibitor used
primarily in hospitals to treat heart
patients with acute coronary syndrome,
under a restructured agreement with
Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Consumer Health Care
Our consumer offerings include over-
the-counter (OTC), sun care and
foot care products, primarily in North
America. Our OTC brands include
Claritin, a leading non-drowsy allergy
medication, as well as other well-
established brands including Afrin
and Coricidin.
With the well-known Coppertone brand,
Schering-Plough is the leader in the
U.S. sun care market. Our foot care
franchise also leads the North American
foot care market, anchored by the
Dr. scholl’s brand.
Animal Health For the past 50 years, Schering-Plough’s
global animal health business has
played an important role in extending
the life-cycle of our prescription
medicines and the value of our R&D
investment. Today, these products
include pharmaceuticals, vaccines and
parasiticides, having a presence in five
entry markets: ruminant, swine, live-
stock, poultry, companion animal and
aquaculture. In addition, our HomeaGain
pet recovery service has reunited
thousands of pets and owners.
