With the end of the Second World War, pharmacological science reaches a new level, due to the production of antibiotics and the development of large scale drug production structures. This period starts a new modus operandi for the pharmaceutical sector, now vertical and sectorized. This model is still in force today, in significantly greater proportions. When analyzing how this process started in the USA, and later expanded to Brazil, we seek to understand the initial formation of the pharmaceutical industrial model, which had one of its propelling springs in the research and development sector. Thus, the relationship between scientific development, industrial efficiency, transnationalization and economic policy is the guiding thread of the analysis.
