Item 5.  Other Events and Required Regulation FD Disclosure

     On April 27, 2004, the jury returned a verdict in the case of Jerry
Coffey (representing the estate of Cynthia Cappel-Coffey), et al. v. Wyeth, et
al. in favor of the plaintiff in the amount of $113.353 million in compensatory
damages and $900 million in punitive damages.  The plaintiffs in this case,
which was tried in the District Court of Jefferson County, Texas, 172nd Judicial
District, alleged that Ms. Cappel-Coffey died as a result of Primary Pulmonary
Hypertension (PPH) caused by her use of the diet drug Pondimin.  The Company
will appeal this verdict and believes that it has a strong basis for reversal on
appeal.

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
