                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



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

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for
plan benefits of the American Home Products Corporation Savings Plan -
Puerto Rico as of December 31, 1993, 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 audit 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 audit provides 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 - Puerto
Rico as of December 31, 1993, 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.

                          SAVINGS PLAN - PUERTO RICO
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
                            AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1993     


NOTE 1 - PLAN DESCRIPTION

The following description of the American Home Products Corporation
Savings Plan - Puerto Rico (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 November 19, 1992 and became
effective on January 1, 1993.  Full or part-time employees of the
Company and its participating subsidiaries who reside in Puerto Rico
and are not a member of a recognized collective bargaining unit are
eligible to participate in the Plan after attaining age 21 and
completing one year of continuous service in which they have completed
at least 1,000 hours of service with the Company for which they work. 
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and the Internal Revenue 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.  Salary deferral
contributions are subject to an annual limitation of the lessor of 10%
of compensation or $7,000.  AHPC will contribute in cash to each
participant's account an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of the
participant contributions to the Plan.

C.  Vesting and Separation From Service

A participant is fully vested at all times in amounts in salary
deferral and after-tax contribution 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%

                                    - 9 -
<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 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.

E.  Loans

The ability of participants to borrow funds from the plan has been
suspended pending further clarification of Puerto Rican Tax Act No. 17
from the Puerto Rico Department of Labor.  As of December 31, 1993
there are no loans outstanding.


NOTE 2 -  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investment Valuation

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

Administrative Costs

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

Receivable from American Home Products Corporation

The receivable from AHPC at December 31, 1993 represents contributions
withheld from employees but not remitted to the Trustee until January
1994.




                                    - 10 -
<PAGE>
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%.

The four investment funds 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 - is invested in a group annuity contract
    issued by a major life insurance company which pays a specified
    rate of interest for a fixed period of time and repays principal at
    maturity.  The fund and its contract 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.

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.


NOTE 4 - MANAGEMENT OF THE PLAN

The Plan is administered by the Committee, which is appointed by the
Board of Directors of AHPC.  Banco Popular de Puerto Rico is the
Plan's Trustee.  Towers, Perin, Forster & Crosby acts as recordkeeper
of the participant accounts.










                                    - 11 -
<PAGE>
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAX STATUS

Puerto Rico

The Plan is designed to be a qualified profit-sharing plan under
Section 165(a) of the Puerto Rico Income Tax Act of 1954 (the "Act")
and the trust established under the Plan is intended to be tax-exempt
under Section 165(a) of the Act.  The Company has obtained from the
Puerto Rico Treasury Department a favorable determination that the
Plan and the trust, as adopted, meet the requirements of the Act.  The
principal income tax consequences of participation in the Plan, under
present law and proposed regulations, are discussed in the Plan
agreement and the Plan Prospectus.


Federal Income Tax Status

The Plan does not constitute a qualified profit-sharing plan under the
provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code")
and the "cash and deferred arrangement" incorporated in the Plan is
not intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code.  Pursuant to
Section 1022 (i)(1) of ERISA, however, the trust established
thereunder is exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501(a) of
the Code.  An individual who is a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico
during the entire taxable year will not be subject to any Federal
income tax on income derived from sources within Puerto Rico. 
Additional Federal income tax consequences are set forth in the Plan
agreement.

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.
