INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Schering-Plough Puerto Rico Employees' Retirement Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for 
benefits of The Schering-Plough Puerto Rico Employees' Retirement Savings Plan 
(the "Plan") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statement of 
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 
1995.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's 
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
 standards.  
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
 misstatement.  
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts 
and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing 
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, 
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe 
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of 
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for
 benefits 
for the year ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
 accounting 
principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of Assets 
Held for Investment and Transactions in Excess of  5% of Current Plan Assets 
are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required 
part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information 
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and 
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  Such 
supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such 
supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied 
in our audits of the basic financial statements, and, in our opinion, are
 fairly 
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic 1995 financial
 statements 
taken as a whole.

THE SCHERING-PLOUGH PUERTO RICO EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      General
	The Schering-Plough Puerto Rico Employees' Retirement Savings Plan 
	(the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan established effective 
	March 1, 1990.  The Plan is intended to encourage retirement savings 
	by eligible employees of Schering-Plough Products, Inc. (the "Sponsor") 
	and any of its affiliated companies that adopts the Plan.  Vanguard 
	Fiduciary Trust Company ("VFTC"), the custodian, is a trust company 
	incorporated under Chapter 10 of the Pennsylvania Banking Code, and 
	a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Vanguard Group, Inc.  Quarterly 
	financial statements are prepared for VFTC and submitted to the 
	Pennsylvania Department of Banking which performs examinations of VFTC 
	on a bi-annual basis.
	All Puerto Rico employees of Schering-Plough Products, Inc. and 
	Schering-Plough del Caribe, Inc. are eligible to participate in the 
	Plan on the date of employment.  There were 836 and 1,032 participants 
	in the Plan at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The 
	participants may elect to have their salary deferral contributions 
	allocated to any of the investment funds.

2.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Accounting - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared 
	on the accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
	principles and the financial reporting requirements of the Employee 
	Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
	Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan's investments 
	are stated at fair value.  Shares of registered investment companies 
	are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset value 
	of shares held by the Plan at year end.
	The Schering-Plough Stock Fund is valued using the unit accounting 
	method whereby a participant's account value is expressed in units of 
	participation rather than number of shares of Schering-Plough common 
	stock.  At December 31, 1995, there were 990 units of participation in 
	the Schering-Plough Stock Fund.  The net asset value per unit was $247.68 
	at December 31, 1995.
	Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.  
	Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Dividends are recorded 
	on the ex-dividend date, and reinvested in Schering-Plough common stock 
	units.
	Payment of Benefits - Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

3.      Plan Description
	The following is a description of the Plan for general information purposes.  
	Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.
	Contributions - The Plan is designed to permit eligible employees to elect 
	to have a portion of their salary contributed to the Plan on their behalf 
	("salary deferral contributions").  Under the provisions of the Plan, salary 
	deferral contributions can range from 1% to 10% of the employee's earnings, 
	in increments of 1%, up to $7,000 or the lesser of the maximum amount
 permitted 
	by tax regulations.  Salary deferral contributions and any earnings accrued 
	thereon are fully and immediately vested to the participant.
	Participant Accounts - Each participant's account is credited with the 
	participant's contribution and allocations of Plan earnings.  Allocations 
	are based on participant earnings on account balances, as defined.  
	Participants have a nonforfeitable right to their contributions plus 
	actual earnings thereon which vest fully and immediately.
	Investment Options - Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may 
	direct their contributions into any of the following Vanguard investment 
	options:
Index 500 Portfolio - Designed to provide returns which correspond to the 
performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index.
Windsor Fund - Primarily equity securities with the objective of providing 
long-term capital growth.
Money Market Reserves Prime Portfolio - Primarily fixed income securities 
with maturities of 13 months or less.
Short-Term Corporate Portfolio - A diversified portfolio primarily consisting 
of short-term corporate bonds.
International Growth Portfolio - A non-U.S. equity portfolio, primarily
 investing 
in securities of issuers within Europe, Asia and the Far East.  This fund 
was made available to participants effective April 1, 1994.
Wellington Fund - Primarily equity and fixed income securities with the
 objective 
of providing current income and capital appreciation.
Explorer Fund - Primarily equity securities of smaller companies with the 
objective of providing above average capital appreciation but with a
 potentially 
higher level of risk.
Schering-Plough Stock Fund - Participant is limited to a maximum investment 
election of 50% of the Salary Deferral Contribution in this fund.
Loan Fund - The Plan allows participants to borrow against their fund accounts 
up to a maximum of the lesser of one half of their account or $50,000.  These 
loans, which are secured by the participants' individual fund accounts, bear 
a fixed rate of interest as determined to be reasonable by the Schering-Plough 
Puerto Rico Employees' Savings Plan Committee (the"Committee"), and are
 repayable 
over periods not exceeding five years, except loans relating to a principal 
residence which are repayable over a period not to exceed 20 years.
Payment of Benefits - On termination of service due to death, disability or 
retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount or 
annual installments not to exceed the life expectancy of the participant or 
the life expectancy of the beneficiary.  For termination of service due to 
other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the account as a lump 
sum distribution.  Distribution of all or a portion of a participant's 
account, prior to termination of employment, may be granted by the Committee 
in the case of financial hardship.

4.      Plan Termination
	Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Sponsor has the 
	right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to provisions of ERISA.

5.      Tax Status
	In March 1992, the Plan received a favorable determination letter issued 
	by the Puerto Rico Department of Treasury as to the Plan's qualified 
	status under Sections 165(a) and (e) of the Puerto Rico Income Tax Act of 
	1954, as amended.  As long as the Plan is qualified under Puerto Rico 
	income tax laws and regulations, participants will not be taxed on 
	salary-deferred contributions or on investment earnings on such 
	contributions at the time such contributions and investment earnings are 
	received by the trustee under the Plan, but will be subject to tax thereon 
	at such time as they receive distributions from the Plan.

6.      Administration of Plan Assets
	Contributions are held and managed by the trustee, VFTC, which invests cash 
	received, interest and dividend income and makes distributions to the 
	participants.  The custodian also administers the payment of interest and 
	principal on the participant loans.
	Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of 
	Schering-Plough Corportion or its subsidiaries (the "Company").  No such 
	officers or employees receives compensation from the Plan.
	All plan administration expenses are borne by the Company.

7.      Distribution to Successor Savings Plan
	During 1995, the Company sold its vision care division to an unrelated third 
	party.  In connection with such sale, the buyer kept the employees of that 
	Division and a new savings plan was established.  Once the new savings plan 
	had been established, the participants' accounts of the employees of the 
	vision care division were transferred to the new savings plan.



8.      Fund Information
	Investment income, contributions and benefit payments are as follows for the 
	year ended December 31, 1995:
