seasoned issuer&#148; as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, utilizing a &#147;shelf&#148; registration process. Under this shelf process, we may, from time to time, sell any combination of the
debt securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. No limit exists on the aggregate amount of debt securities we may sell pursuant to the registration statement. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a global health care company that delivers innovative health solutions through our prescription medicines, including biologic therapies, vaccines and
animal health products. Our operations are principally managed on a product basis and include two operating segments, Pharmaceutical and Animal Health, both of which are reportable segments. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Pharmaceutical segment includes human health pharmaceutical and vaccine products. Human health pharmaceutical products consist of therapeutic and
preventive agents, generally sold by prescription, for the treatment of human disorders. We sell these human health pharmaceutical products primarily to drug wholesalers and retailers, hospitals, government agencies and managed health care providers
such as health maintenance organizations, pharmacy benefit managers and other institutions. Human health vaccine products consist of preventive pediatric, adolescent and adult vaccines. We sell these human health vaccines primarily to physicians,
wholesalers, distributors and government entities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Animal Health segment discovers, develops, manufactures and markets a wide range of veterinary
pharmaceutical and vaccine products, as well as health management solutions and services, for the prevention, treatment and control of disease in all major livestock and companion animal species. We also offer an extensive suite of digitally
connected identification, traceability and monitoring products. We sell our products to veterinarians, distributors, animal producers, farmers and pet owners. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On June&nbsp;2, 2021, we completed the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> (the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;Spin-Off&#148;)</FONT> of
products from our women&#146;s health, biosimilars and established brands businesses into a new, independent, publicly traded company named Organon&nbsp;&amp; Co. (&#147;Organon&#148;) through a distribution of Organon&#146;s publicly traded stock
to our shareholders. The established brands included in the transaction consisted of dermatology, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-opioid</FONT> pain management, respiratory, select cardiovascular products, as well as the rest of our diversified
brands franchise. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All product or service marks appearing in type form different from that of the surrounding text are trademarks or service marks owned,

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Before deciding to invest in Merck&#146;s debt securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors and forward-looking statements described in Item 1A
of our most recent Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023 (which is incorporated by reference herein). In addition, you should carefully consider information in any accompanying
prospectus supplement or any documents we incorporate by reference in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, before deciding to invest in Merck&#146;s debt securities. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us
or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><A NAME="toc809857_4"></A>FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This prospectus, any prospectus supplement and any documents we incorporate by reference herein or therein and oral statements made from time to time
by us may contain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">so-called</FONT> &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act, and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the
Exchange Act), all of which are based on management&#146;s current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. One can identify these forward-looking
statements by their use of words such as &#147;anticipates,&#148; &#147;expects,&#148; &#147;plans,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;estimates,&#148; &#147;forecasts,&#148; &#147;projects&#148; and other words of similar meaning, or negative variations
of any of the foregoing. One can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy, financial results, product approvals, product potential,
development programs, environmental or other sustainability initiatives. One must carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements.
These factors include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially. We
do not assume the obligation to update any forward-looking statement. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. One should carefully evaluate such statements in light of factors, including risk factors,
described under &#147;Risk Factors&#148; above and in the documents incorporated herein by reference in which we discuss in more detail various important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. One should
understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, one should not consider any such list to be a complete statement of all potential risks or uncertainties. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless otherwise indicated in the accompanying prospectus supplement, we will use the net proceeds from the sale of the debt securities for general corporate
purposes, including the reduction of short-term debt. We may temporarily invest funds that we do not immediately need for these purposes in short-term marketable securities. </P>

&#147;we,&#148; &#147;our&#148; and &#147;us&#148; refer to Merck&nbsp;&amp; Co., Inc., but not to any of Merck&nbsp;&amp; Co., Inc.&#146;s subsidiaries. &#147;You&#148; means direct holders and not street name or other indirect holders of debt
securities. Indirect holders should read the information under the caption &#147;Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance.&#148; </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The debt securities
are not secured by any of our property or assets. Accordingly, your ownership of debt securities means you are one of our unsecured creditors. The debt securities are not subordinated to any of our other debt obligations and therefore they rank
equally with all our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As required by federal law for all bonds and notes that are publicly offered, a
document called the indenture governs the debt securities. The indenture is a contract, dated as of January&nbsp;6, 2010, which we may amend in the future, between us and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, which acts as trustee. The trustee has
two main roles. First, the trustee can enforce your rights against us if we default. There are some limitations on the extent to which the trustee acts on your behalf, described under &#147;&#151;Defaults and Remedies&#151;Events of
Default&#151;Remedies if an Event of Default Occurs.&#148; Second, the trustee performs administrative duties for us, such as sending you interest payments, registering transfers of your debt securities to a new buyer if you sell and sending you
notices. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indenture and its associated documents contain the full legal text of the matters described in this section. New York law governs the
indenture and will govern the debt securities. The indenture is an exhibit to our registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. See &#147;Where You Can Find More Information&#148; for information on how to obtain a copy. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue as many distinct series of debt securities under the indenture as we wish. A series of debt securities may be guaranteed by one or more of our
subsidiaries. There is no limit on the amount of debt securities we may issue under the indenture and the provisions of the indenture allow us to issue debt securities with terms different from those previously issued under the indenture. Also, we
may &#147;reopen&#148; a previous issue of a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series. We may issue debt securities in amounts that exceed the total amount specified on the cover of your prospectus supplement at
any time without your consent and without notifying you. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This section summarizes all the material terms of the debt securities that are common to all
series unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series. Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the debt securities and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference
to all the provisions of the indenture, including definitions of some of the terms used in the indenture. We describe the meaning for only some of the important terms. We also include references in parentheses to some sections of the indenture.
Whenever we refer to particular sections or defined terms of the indenture in this prospectus or in the prospectus supplement, we incorporate by reference those sections or defined terms here or in the prospectus supplement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue the debt securities as original issue discount securities, which we would offer and sell at a substantial discount below their stated principal
amount. <I>(section 101)</I> A prospectus supplement relating to original issue discount securities will describe federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to them. We may also issue the debt securities as indexed
securities or securities denominated in foreign currencies, currency units or composite currencies, as described in more detail in a prospectus supplement relating to any of these types of debt securities. A prospectus supplement relating to indexed
debt securities or foreign currency debt securities will also describe any additional tax consequences or other special considerations applicable to these types of debt securities. </P>

below occur. The financial institution that acts as the sole direct holder of the global security is called the depository. The Depository Trust Company, New&nbsp;York, New York, known as DTC, may be a depository for one or more series of debt

the debt securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from purchasers for whom they may act as agents. The prospectus
supplement will include any required information about underwriting compensation we pay to underwriters, and any discounts, concessions or commissions underwriters allow to participating dealers, in connection with an offering of debt securities.

These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of debt securities than they are required to purchase
in an offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the debt securities while an offering is in progress. </P>

of the corporation, if such corporate agent acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and with respect to any criminal proceeding, such corporate agent had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Under the NJBCA, expenses incurred by a corporate agent in connection with a proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of

indemnification shall be made to or on behalf of a corporate agent if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the corporate agent establishes that the corporate agent&#146;s acts or omissions (a)&nbsp;were in breach of the duty of loyalty
