Sanofi-Aventis Q4 profit up
Sanofi-Aventis reported a 10 percent increase in fourth quarter net profit yesterday as strong sales of its swine flu vaccine drove full year earnings above expectations.
France's largest drug maker said net profit rose to 1.8 billion euros ($2.5 billion) in the three months ending Dec 31 from 1.63 billion euros a year earlier.
