                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Participants and Savings Plan Committee of the American Home
Products Corporation Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
plan benefits of the American Home Products Corporation Savings Plan as
of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statement of changes in
net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31,
1993.  These financial statements and the schedules referred to below
are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules 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 plan
benefits of the American Home Products Corporation Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for
plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of
assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are
presented for purposes 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.  The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                         
                                   ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO.

                      AMERICAN HOME PRODUCTS CORPORATION
                                 SAVINGS PLAN
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
                       AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1992




NOTE 1 -  PLAN DESCRIPTION

The following description of the American Home Products Corporation
Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. 
Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
description of the Plan's provisions.

A.   General

The Plan, a defined contribution profit-sharing plan, was approved and
adopted by the Board of Directors of American Home Products Corporation
("AHPC" or the "Company") on February 28, 1985 and became effective on
April 1, 1985.  Full or part-time (U.S. paid) employees of the Company
and its participating subsidiaries who are not subject to a collective
bargaining agreement are eligible to participate in the Plan after age
21.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code").

B.   Contributions

A participant may elect to make contributions to the Plan in whole
percentages up to a maximum of 16% of the participant's compensation, as
defined in the Plan.  Contributions can be made on a before-tax basis
("salary deferral contributions"), an after-tax basis ("after-tax
contributions"), or a combination of both.  AHPC will contribute in cash
to each participant's account an amount equal to 50% of the participant's
contributions to the Plan, for contributions up to 6% of the
participant's compensation.  Under the Code, salary deferral
contributions, total annual contributions, and the amount of compensation
that can be included for Plan purposes are subject to annual limitations.

C.   Vesting and Separation From Service

A participant is fully vested at all times in amounts in salary deferral
and after-tax accounts.  A participant is also fully vested in Company
matching contributions if the participant has at least five years of
continuous service, as defined by the Plan.  If a participant has less
than five years of continuous service, such participant becomes vested in
their matching contributions account according to the following vesting
schedule:
                                               Vesting
             Years of Continuous Service      Percentage

                1 year completed                  0%
                2 years completed                25%
                3 years completed                50%
                4 years completed                75%


                          - 10 -
<PAGE>
Regardless of the number of years of continuous service, a participant
shall be fully vested and receive funds attributable to their matching
contribution account upon reaching their 65th birthday or upon death, if
earlier.

In the event a participant's employment with AHPC is terminated prior to
full vesting, they shall receive the vested portion.  The non-vested
portion of such account is forfeited and becomes available to AHPC to
satisfy future Company matching contributions.

D.   Withdrawals

A participant is entitled to withdraw all or any portion of their account
attributable to after-tax contributions.  A participant may make full or
partial withdrawals of funds in any of their accounts on attaining age 59
1/2 or for financial hardship before that age.  Participants may qualify
for financial hardship withdrawals if they have an immediate and heavy
financial need, as defined in the Plan, and have no other funds readily
available to meet that need.  Participants are limited to one hardship
and one non-hardship (e.g. after age 59 1/2 or from the participant's
after-tax contribution account) withdrawal each year.  A participant
cannot make a hardship withdrawal of the earnings on their before-tax
account balances which are credited on or after January 1, 1989.

E.   Loans

An employee who has participated in the Plan for at least one year and
has a vested account balance of at least $2,000 may borrow from the
vested portion of their account, subject to certain maximum amounts.  An
employee may have outstanding up to two general purpose loans and one
loan to acquire or construct a principal residence.  All loans must be
repaid within 5 years except for those used to acquire or construct a
principal residence.

F.   Amendments to the Plan

There were two amendments to the Plan during 1993, regarding the
eligibility requirements of employees and the addition of Intelligent
Medical Systems, Inc. (acquired by the Company in 1992) employees to the
Plan.  The effect of these amendments on the net assets available for
plan benefits was not material.


NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investment Valuation

AHPC's common stock is recorded at fair market value at December 31. 
Units of participation in the Fidelity Balanced Fund and the Fidelity
U.S. Equity Index Portfolio are recorded at their published net asset
value at December 31.  The group annuity and other contracts comprising
the Interest Income Fund are recorded at contract value (cost plus
accrued interest) based upon information supplied by the Trustee, which
approximates fair value.





                               - 11 -
<PAGE>
Administrative Costs

All costs and expenses of administering the Plan are paid by AHPC.

Loan Fund

Defaults on participants' loans during the year are treated as
withdrawals and are fully taxable to participants.

Receivable from American Home Products Corporation

The receivable from AHPC at December 31, 1993 and 1992 represents
contributions and loan repayments withheld from employees but not
remitted to Fidelity until January 1994 and 1993, respectively.


NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS

A participant can elect to have amounts credited to their account
invested in any of four investment funds.  Elections must be made in
multiples of 25% in such a way that the combination of share percentages
totals 100%.  A participant may transfer all, or any part, of the value
of their account invested in any of the investment funds to another fund
in multiples of 25% or in an amount of at least $250.

The four investment options are:

A.   AHPC Common Stock Fund - consists primarily of AHPC common stock.
     Purchases and sales of AHPC common stock are made in the open market. 
     Participants have full voting rights for shares purchased at their
     direction under the Plan.

B.   Interest Income Fund - consists primarily of group annuity contracts
     issued by major life insurance companies and other contracts which
     pay a specified rate of interest for a fixed period of time and repay
     principal at maturity.  The fund and its contracts are not guaranteed
     by the Company or any other institution.  However, the AHPC Savings
     Plan Committee (the "Committee") has established guidelines that
     provide that contracts be placed with companies rated AA or higher by
     Moody's and Standard & Poors.  The interest rate payable to Plan
     participants in this fund will be a rate which reflects a blend of 
     the total investments made by the fund.  The overall annual return in
     the Fund was approximately 6.9% for 1993 and 7.5% for 1992.

C.   Fidelity Balanced Fund - consists of units invested in a mutual fund
     managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company which is invested
     in high yielding securities, including common stocks, preferred
     stocks and bonds with at least 25% of the Fund's assets in fixed
     income senior securities.

D.   Fidelity U.S. Equity Portfolio - consists of units invested in a
     mutual fund managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company that
     seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the total
     return performance of the companies that make up the Standard &
     Poor's 500 Index.



                          - 12 -

NOTE 4 - MANAGEMENT OF THE PLAN

The Plan is administered by the Committee, which is appointed by the
Board of Directors of AHPC.  Effective April 1, 1992, Fidelity Management
Trust Company was appointed by the Committee as Trustee and record
keeper. 

NOTE 5 - FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan is designed to be a qualified profit-sharing plan under the
provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust established under
the Plan is intended to be exempt from federal income tax under the
provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code.  Therefore, no tax provision is
recorded by the Plan.  The Plan incorporates a "cash or deferred"
arrangement on a salary deferral basis which is intended to satisfy
additional qualification requirements under Section 401(k) of the Code.
The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on April 19, 1990,
which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then
designed, met the applicable requirements of the Code.  The Plan has been
amended since receiving this determination letter.  However, the Plan
administrator and the Plan's counsel believe that the Plan continues to
be designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements
of the Code.  Therefore, they believe that the Plan continues to be
qualified and the related trust tax exempt as of December 31, 1993.

NOTE 6 - PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the
right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of
plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
