The Worldwide Consumer Healthcare division reported a net revenue increase of 7 percent for the second quarter and 9 percent for the first half of 2004 compared to the same period last year.
The company attributed the positive results to a number of factors including global growth in the division's core Advil, Centrum and Caltrate brands.
For example, the Centrum franchise was expanded with the launch of Centrum Carb Assist, a multivitamin/mineral supplement formulated for low carbohydrate dieters.
Overall, Wyeth's worldwide net revenue was up by 13 percent to $4.2 billion for the second quarter and by 11 percent to $8.2 billion for the first half of this year in comparison with the same periods in 2003.
