Bayer HealthCare

Bayer HealthCare represents over half of the Bayer business in Australia and New Zealand¹ and has four focus areas:

Bayer Pharmaceuticals is our specialty pharmaceutical business concentrating on:

• Women’s Health (such as contraception)
• General Medicine (prescription products for general practitioners or specialists in areas such as high blood pressure and venous thromboembolism)
• Specialty Medicine (treatments to improve the quality of life for sufferers of diseases such as multiple sclerosis, haemophilia and certain types of cancer)

Bayer Medical care develops and manufactures contrast media and high-tech medical devices.

Bayer Consumer Care is a highly regarded provider of over-the-counter (OTC) medications and nutritional supplements in Australia and New Zealand. Our prestigious track record began in 1897 with the discovery of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), which Bayer launched as Aspirin in 1899. Our top brands today, distributed through pharmacies and supermarkets, include Berocca®, Canesten®, Bepanthen®, Novalac®, Aspro® and Elevit®.

Bayer Animal Health develops products for both companion and farm animals. Cat and dog owners rely on our leading products such as Advocate®, Advantage® and Advantix® to control parasites including fleas, ticks and worms. We also help farmers protect the health of their sheep, cattle, pigs, horses and poultry from parasites and infectious diseases and offer pain relief and farm hygiene products.
