                This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Statement on
Schedule 13D, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") on March 26, 1999 (the "Schedule 13D") by Elan International
Services, Ltd. Capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

Item 1 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of
Sheffield Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The
principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 425 South Woodsmill
Road, Suite 270, St. Louis MO 63017-3441

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

Item 2 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                  This Form 13-D is filed, jointly, by Elan International
Services, Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company ("EIS"), 102 St. James Court, Flatts,
Smiths Parish, FL 04, Bermuda and Elan Pharmaceutical Investments Ltd., a
Bermuda exempted company ("EPIL"). EIS and EPIL are both wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Elan Corporation, Plc, an Irish public limited company ("Elan"),
with its principal offices located at Lincoln House, Lincoln Place, Dublin 2,
Ireland. During the last five years, none of the persons named above in this
Item 2: (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors); or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding
of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, as a result of
which proceeding it was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject
to, United States federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation
with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Item 3 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

         On June 30, 1998, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, by and
between EIS and Sheffield Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Issuer"), EIS acquired (a) 4,571,428 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, (b)
a warrant to acquire up to 990,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price
of $2.00 per share (the "1998 Warrant"), and (c) 11,500 shares Series C
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Issuer (collectively, the
"1998 Securities"), for aggregate consideration of $17,500,000. The
consideration for the 1998 Securities was provided by EIS's general corporate
funds. In addition, the Issuer issued to EIS a convertible promissory note in an
aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 (the "Convertible Note"), which bears
interest at prime plus 1%.

         On June 29, 1999, pursuant to an Asset Transfer Agreement between EIS
and EPIL, EIS transferred the 1998 Securities to EPIL. The consideration for the
1998 Securities was provided by EPIL's general corporate funds. To the extent
not assigned to EPIL, EIS remains a party to the agreements pursuant to which
the 1998 Securities were purchased and has agreed to assist EPIL in the
enforcement of the rights granted thereunder.

- ----------------------------------------           -----------------------------
         As of July 15, 1998, the Issuer's board of directors was expanded by
one, and a designee of EIS was appointed to fill the vacancy thereby created. In
addition, for as long as EIS, or its affiliates, owns 5% or more of the Issuer's
Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis), EIS is entitled to appoint a nominee to
the management slate of directors for all meetings at which directors may be
elected.

         As of October 18, 1999, (i) the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held
by EPIL, together with dividends thereon, are convertible into 8,904,965 shares
of Common Stock and (ii) the outstanding principal and interest on the
Convertible Note is convertible into 1,209,485 shares of Common Stock.

         On October 18, 1999, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, by
and between EIS and the Issuer, EIS acquired (a) 12,015 shares of Series D
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Issuer, (b) a warrant (the
"1999 Warrant") to acquire up to 150,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $6.00 per share, and (c) 4,005 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share, of the Issuer (collectively, the "1999 Securities"), for
aggregate consideration of $17,015,000. The shares of Series D Preferred Stock
and the Series F Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Common Stock at
any time after October 18, 2001. The 1999 Warrant is exercisable at any time
after October 18, 2001. The consideration for the 1999 Securities was provided
by EIS's general corporate funds.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

         EPIL acquired the 1998 Securities from EIS for investment purposes. In
addition, in connection with the acquisition of the 1998 Securities, the Issuer
and EIS caused to be formed a joint venture company, Systemic Pulmonary
Delivery, Ltd., a Bermuda corporation ("Systemic"), owned 100% by the Issuer,
which will receive research and development assistance from Elan. Systemic has
been formed principally to develop and commercialize certain technology and
other intellectual property licensed by the Issuer to Systemic.

         EIS acquired the 1999 Securities for investment purposes. In addition,
in connection with the acquisition of the 1999 Securities, the Issuer and EIS
caused to be formed a joint venture company, Sheffield Newco Ltd. ("Sheffield
Newco"), a Bermuda corporation, of which the Issuer owns 100% of the common
voting stock, and EIS owns 39.8%, and the Issuer owns 60.2%, of the non-voting
convertible preferred stock of Sheffield Newco. Sheffield Newco has been formed
principally to develop and commercialize certain technology and other
intellectual property licensed by the Issuer and an affiliate of EIS to
Sheffield Newco Ltd.

         Except as set forth above, neither EIS, EPIL nor Elan has a plan or
proposal which relates to or would result in:

               (a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the
          Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

Item 6 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

         Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, if Elan and Sheffield
agree to provide additional funding to Sheffield Newco at any time during the
first 36 months immediately after October 18, 1999, EIS may be required to
purchase shares of the Series E Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, of
the Issuer to provide the Issuer with funds to pay its portion of such
additional funding; provided that such requirement to purchase is limited to
shares of Series E Preferred stock with an aggregate liquidation value of up to
$4,005,000. EIS shall not be required to purchase such shares of Series E
Preferred Stock without the approval of the EIS designee on the Sheffield Newco
Board of Directors. Such Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of
Common Stock on or after October 18, 2001.

         Pursuant to the Series C Certificate of Designations, EIS (as directed
by EPIL) may require Sheffield to exchange, at any time, all of the outstanding

Agreement, EIS may, at its option and in accordance with the Certificate of
Designations for the Series D, exchange with the Issuer in whole the originally
issued shares of Series D Preferred Stock, for all shares of Sheffield Newco
preferred stock issued by Sheffield Newco to the Issuer.

         Except as described above, there are no contracts, arrangements,
understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among EIS or between such
persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer,
