GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK) is a British pharmaceutical company whose head office is in Brentford, London. It was founded in December 2000 after the unification of Glaxo Wellcome and SmithKline Beecham.
The company has grown largely thus attracting huge profits. Its top-selling products that in 2003 were Advair, Avodart, Flovent, Augmentin, Lovaza and Lamictal. GSK’s consumer products, which earned £5.2 billion in 2013, include Sensodyne and Aquafresh toothpaste, the malted-milk drink Horlicks, Abreva for cold sores, Breathe Right nasal strips, Nicoderm and Nicorette nicotine replacements, and Night Nurse, a cold remedy. The company developed the first malaria vaccine, RTS,S, which it said in 2014 it would make available for five per cent above cost. Legacy products developed at GSK include several listed in the World Health Organization Model List of Essential Medicines, such as amoxicillin, mercaptopurine, pyrimethamine and zidovudine.
