Zeneca and Sanofi each adding 250 reps to sales forces in 1997.

SANOFI ADDING 250 SALES REPS DURING 1997 to increase its field force from 400 to 650 in preparation for near-term product approvals and launches, the company reported Jan. 23. The expansion means that Sanofi will have more than tripled its sales force in the past two years: the company had 200 reps focused primarily on the hospital market before it acquired Bock Pharmacal in mid-1996 ("The Pink Sheet" July 22, 1996, p. 11).
