Enbrel is a breakthrough product approved for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis.

It is also the fastest growing of the top 10 pharmaceutical products.

These results were from the first major early rheumatoid arthritis clinical trial of a biologic to use clinical remission as a primary endpoint.

Prevnar(R), Wyeth's vaccine to prevent invasive pneumococcal disease in both infants and young children, continues to be the world's best-selling vaccine. In October 2007, Prevnar became the first vaccine to achieve $2.0 billion in annual global sales. Prevnar is available in 86 countries worldwide and is now included in 19 National Immunization Programs (NIPs), with six additional countries announcing intentions to initiate NIPs.

Effexor(R) (Effexor and Effexor XR) continues to be the number one global antidepressant in sales and prescription volume and an important therapy in treating adult patients with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder and panic disorder.
