NEW YORK Berlex Laboratories, a U.S. affiliate of German drug giant Schering AG, has contacted agencies about its estimated $20-25 million ad account, sources said.

Berlex markets women’s contraceptives, cancer medications and drugs that treat skin disorders and debilitating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. The company is based in Denville, N.J., but also has operations in California and Washington. Last year, it rang up sales of slightly less than $1 billion.

Interpublic Group’s McCann-Erickson in New York has handled the bulk of Berlex’s creative duties, including the contraceptive brands Yasmin and Mirena and hormonal therapy patch Climara.
