SCHERING-PLOUGH PRESS RELEASE

KENILWORTH, N.J., Aug. 8, 2002 Schering-Plough Corporation (NYSE: SGP) said today it disagreed with and would appeal a decision by a U.S. District Court Judge which found that certain claims of a patent protecting against generic versions of the nonsedating antihistamine CLARITIN (loratadine) and expiring in 2004 are not valid. The company maintains that the patent at issue protects CLARITIN-related products into 2004. The company is reviewing the decision of the Court that was issued early this afternoon.
