 | | The company was formally incorporated as G.D. Searle and Co. in 1908. |
 | | Searles special market was selling syrups, elixirs, tinctures, and a variety of other products to doctors who dispensed their own medications for their patients, bypassing the drug store. |
 | | Many firsts followed for Searle, including production of the first modern bulk laxative, the first motion-sickness drug, the first oral contraceptive, the first modern antiarrhythmic, the first specific oral anti-diarrheal, and the first once-a-day calcium channel-blocker for the treatment of hypertension. |
