INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Schering-Plough Employees' Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets 
available for benefits of Schering-Plough Employees' 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. These schedules are the 
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such schedules have 
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits 
of the basic 1995 financial statements, and, in our opinion, are 
fairly stated in all material respects when considered in 
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SCHERING-PLOUGH EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
($ in 000's except per unit amounts)

1.	General - The Schering-Plough Employees' Savings Plan 
("Plan") is a defined contribution plan open to all domestic 
employees of Schering-Plough Corporation ("Company") and its 
subsidiaries who have attained one year of service.  A year of 
service for eligibility purposes shall mean a twelve-month 
period, beginning with the day of the year the employee commenced 
employment.  There were approximately 9,400 participants in the 
Plan at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

2.	Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting - The accounts of the Plan have been prepared 
on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

The financial statements were prepared in accordance with the 
financial reporting requirement of the Employee Retirement Income 
Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") as permitted by the Securities and 
Exchange Commission.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan's 
investments are stated at current value.  Share 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 and 1994, 
there were 233,287 and 220,351 units of participation in the 
Schering-Plough Stock Fund, respectively.  The net asset value 
per unit was $247.68 and $167.62 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, 
respectively.  Realized gains on the sale of Schering-Plough 
common stock units were $1,271 during 1995.

Purchases and sale 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 brief description of the Plan is provided for 
general information purposes only.  Participants should refer to 
the Plan document for more complete information.

Salary Deferral Contributions - Each year, participants may 
contribute from 1% to 4% of pretax annual compensation, as 
defined in the Plan.  Contributions are subject to certain 
limitations. 

Participant Accounts - Each participant's account is credited 
with the participant's contribution and allocations of Plan 
earnings.  Allocations are based on participant earnings or 
account balances, as defined.  Participants have a non-
forfeitable right to their contributions plus (minus) 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 
Fiduciary Trust Company ("Vanguard") investment options:

- - Wellington Fund - Primarily equity and fixed income securities 
with the objective of providing current income and capital 
appreciation.

- - Windsor Fund - Primarily equity securities with the objective 
of providing long-term capital growth.
 
 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.
 
- - Money Market Reserves U.S. Treasury Portfolio - Exclusively 
U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of 13 months or less 
with the objective of providing current income based on 
current market interest rates, with preservation of principal 
and liquidity.
 
- - Fixed Income Securities Short-Term Corporate Portfolio - A 
diversified portfolio primarily consisting of short-term 
corporate bonds.
 
- - Index-500 Portfolio - Designed to provide returns which 
correspond to the performance of Standard & Poor's 500 
Composite Stock Price Index.
 
- - 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.

Schering-Plough Stock Fund - Participants may contribute to a 
maximum investment election of 50% of the Salary Deferral 
Contribution into this fund.
Loan Fund - Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up 
to a maximum of the lesser of one half of their account or 
$50,000.  Loan transactions are treated as a transfer between the 
investment funds and the Loan Fund.  These loans bear a fixed 
rate of interest as determined to be reasonable by the Schering-
Plough Employees' Savings Plan 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 Company in the case of financial hardship.

4.	Plan Termination 

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

5.	Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has issued a determination letter to 
the effect that the Plan is a qualified employee benefit plan, 
meeting the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal 
Revenue Code and the Trust established thereunder is exempt from 
Federal income taxes under Section 501(a).

6.	Administration of Plan Assets

Contributions are held and managed by Vanguard (the "Trustee"), 
which invests cash received, interest and dividend income and 
makes distributions to the participants.  The Trustee also 
administers the payment of interest and principal on the 
participant loans.

Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or 
employees of the Company or its subsidiaries.  No such officer or 
employee receives compensation from the Plan.

All plan administration expenses are borne by the Company.
