TOKYO, JAPAN -- July 18, 2000 -- Johnson & Johnson, the world's most comprehensive and broadly based manufacturer of healthcare products, and Takeda Chemical Industries, the largest Japan-based pharmaceutical company, today announced that Tylenol ® brand acetaminophen, the world's leading over-the-counter (OTC) analgesic, will be available in Japan beginning early this fall. Johnson & Johnson and Takeda Chemical Industries Ltd. have jointly developed four Tylenol products uniquely formulated to meet the needs of the Japanese consumer.
