Metabolic
About 425 million adult people in the world are living with diabetes, with Type 2 diabetes accounting for 90 percent of all cases1. This number is projected to increase to 629 million people by 20451. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic, progressive condition and long-term complications include stroke, heart attack and cardiovascular death as well as diabetic kidney disease, retinopathy, arm and leg amputations and autonomic neuropathy. In addition to the now marketed products from our own R&D, we are also focused on cardiometabolic indications with a high unmet medical need.

Jardiance®
Treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in patients with established cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular
Cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke, is a major global health concern and the leading cause of death and disability worldwide1. At Boehringer Ingelheim we address unmet medical needs by providing innovative treatments that improve the care of patients suffering from a range of cardiovascular conditions including irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation), stroke, blood clots in deep veins or lungs (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism), high blood pressure (hypertension) or heart attack (myocardial infarction).

Pradaxa®
Prevention of strokes and blood clots in patients with abnormal heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation). Primary prevention of venous thrombo-embolic events (VTE) in adults after elective total hip or knee replacement surgery. Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and secondary prevention of recurrent DVT and PE in adults.
Metalyse
Is a thrombolytic treatment indicated in adults with suspected myocardial infarction with persistent ST elevation or recent left Bundle Branch Block within 6 hours after the onset of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) symptoms. It is a recombinant fibrin-specific plasminogen activator that is derived from native t-PA. It binds to the fibrin component of the thrombus (blood clot) and selectively converts thrombus-bound plasminogen to plasmin, which degrades the fibrin matrix of the thrombus.
Pritor
Is a true once daily Angiotensin II Inhibitor. It is used to treat essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults. And clinically proven to reduce cardiovascular events (i.e. heart attack or stroke) in adults who are at risk or have had a stroke or have high risk diabetes.

Actilyse®
Actilyse® (alteplase or recombinant tissue plasminogen activator, rt-PA), is the only recommended intravenous thrombolytic for the treatment of an acute ischaemic stroke.
