Overview
AstraZeneca's products run the gamut from A (breast cancer drug Arimidex) to Z (migraine treatment Zomig). One of the world's top pharmaceutical firms, AstraZeneca specializes in drugs for gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neurology, and oncology therapeutic areas. The firm's biggest seller is acid reflux remedy Nexium. For matters of the heart, AstraZeneca makes hypertension and heart failure drug Atacand and cholesterol reducer Crestor. The company's other drugs include Seroquel (schizophrenia) and Zoladex (prostate cancer). AstraZeneca, like many in its class, suffers a bit from a lack of real pipeline growth; to that end, the company in 2007 purchased MedImmune to bolster its biologics business.
