About Nycomed
Nycomed is driving a new way of providing pharmaceutical products in Europe. Physicians are seeking new treatments that make a clear medical difference. But traditional pharmaceutical companies, with a single research department, are finding it harder to meet this need.

Nycomed, by contrast, can access the work of thousands of companies dedicated to research, and choose to make available the most innovative treatments.
