BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company)

Caution!

As of August 2025, BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) owns Israeli Caesarea Medical Electronics (source). In addition, at least 30% of BD is owned by red investors (source).

What do I do now?
Medicine from BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) is "yellow," and although yellow is better than red, you should try to find "green" alternatives instead. Ask your doctor, local pharmacy, or hospital if your medicine is available in other brands, and remember to also look up these brands. Pharmacies may have different medicines in stock, so it may be worthwhile to call different pharmacies if you cannot obtain the desired brand. You can also have the pharmacy order the desired brand the day before you need it. Note that pharmacies usually have the cheapest brand in stock, which is often the Israeli Teva.

If no alternatives exist, or if you cannot afford the alternatives, you should prioritize your health and ignore the boycott. Read more about the boycott strategy for medicine under the category for pharmaceutical companies.
