Ladies and Gentlemen:

 On behalf of Teva
Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (“Teva” or the “Company”), set forth below is Teva’s response to the comment of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission contained in your letter dated
March 11, 2024 to Eli Kalif, Teva’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

 For your ease of reference, we have
set forth below the Staff’s comments in italics, followed by Teva’s response thereto.

 Form 10-K
for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023

 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS Data, page 78

1.
 Please address the following regarding your disclosures in the 10-K
and 8-K furnished on January 31, 2024:

•

 Quantify for us the significant components of the adjustments for “Contingent Consideration”,
“Other non-GAAP items” and “Corresponding tax effects and unusual tax items”. Tell us why you believe the adjustments are consistent with Regulation G, Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, and C&DI 100.01.

 Response: The Company acknowledges the
Staff’s comment and set forth below is a discussion of the significant components of each of “Contingent Consideration,” “Other non-GAAP items” and “Corresponding tax effects and
unusual tax items,” as well as the Company’s rationale for including such adjustments in the Company’s calculation of its Non-GAAP Net Income. On a prospective basis, the Company will quantify
the significant components of significant adjustments that have multiple components that are included in the calculation of its non-GAAP measures.

Contingent Consideration

 Teva’s contingent
consideration expenses relate to past business combination agreements that provide for additional payments contingent upon specific future events that the Company would not have otherwise incurred as part of its continuing operations. These expenses
represent adjustments to the fair value of the estimated contingent payments. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, Teva adjusted for contingent consideration expenses of $548 million and $261 million, respectively. In 2023,
contingent consideration expenses primarily consisted of (i) $422 million in changes in the

 estimated future royalty payments to be paid by the Company to Allergan PLC (“Allergan”) in
connection with lenalidomide (generic equivalent of Revlimid®) as part of the Company’s arrangement with Allergan in connection with the acquisition of Allergan’s worldwide generic
pharmaceuticals business in August 2016 (the “Allergan Royalty Arrangement”); and (ii) $132 million in changes in the estimated future royalty payments to be paid by the Company to Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eagle”) in
connection with expected future bendamustine sales as part of the exclusive license agreement the Company entered into with Eagle in February 2015 (the “Eagle Licensing Arrangement”), which was accounted as a business combination. In 2022,
contingent consideration expenses primarily consisted of (i) $240 million in changes in the estimated future royalty payments to be paid by the Company to Allergan in connection with the Allergan Royalty Arrangement; and (ii) $21 million
in changes in the estimated future royalty payments to be paid by the Company to Eagle in connection with the Eagle Licensing Arrangement. Teva’s contingent consideration expenses are quantified and disclosed in Note 20 (Fair value
measurement) to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Teva’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has reviewed the requirements set forth in Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Staff’s guidance as set forth in C&DI 100.01 (collectively, the “Non-GAAP
Requirements”) and believes that adjusting for contingent consideration expenses in the Company’s calculation of its Non-GAAP Net Income is consistent with the
Non-GAAP Requirements and does not cause its Non-GAAP Net Income to be misleading. Contingent consideration expenses relate to contingent consideration arrangements that
are unique and do not follow a repetitive pattern characteristic of recurring expenses. Instead, such contingent expenses vary and are dependent on the circumstances of the particular acquisition from which they arise. The specific amount of
contingent consideration expenses recorded by the Company in each reporting period is highly variable and unpredictable, can range in value from several million to several hundreds of millions of dollars and can either be an income or an expense
from period to period. Additionally, given that the Company’s contingent consideration expenses represent specific acquisition-related obligations arising from past business combinations, they are not indicative of the Company’s day-to-day operational performance. The Company believes that removing the impact of contingent consideration expenses from its calculation of
Non-GAAP Net Income is consistent with the presentation of non-GAAP measures by other companies within the Company’s industry, as such expenses can vary
substantially from company to company depending upon the nature of the business combination arrangements they arise from but are not indicative of the Company’s continuing core business activities. The Company believes that excluding contingent
consideration expenses provides investors a clearer view of the Company’s ongoing operational performance and therefore facilitates more meaningful comparisons of the Company’s operational performance across financial periods and enhances
investors’ insight into trends in the Company’s core business operations.

 Other non-GAAP items

 Other non-GAAP items consist of other exceptional items that the Company believes are sufficiently large that
their exclusion is important to facilitate investors’ understanding of trends in the Company’s financial results. Other non-GAAP items excluded from the Company’s calculation of its non-GAAP Net Income typically consist of items such as significant costs for the rationalization of the Company’s plants that are not in the ordinary course of business, certain inventory write-offs that are
not in the ordinary course of business, certain expenses related to legal proceedings or litigation that are not in the ordinary course of business or other unusual events. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, Teva adjusted for other
non-GAAP items of $330 million and $465 million, respectively. In 2023, other non-GAAP items primarily consisted of (i) $107 million of litigation fees
mainly attributed to: (a) the settlement of the Company’s opioids litigation (the “Opioids Litigation”), for which the Company entered into a settlement with all 50 U.S. states and the Native American tribes party thereto in
2023, and (b) the settlement of the U.S. Department of

 Justice’s (the “DOJ”) antitrust charges against the Company on the marketing and pricing of
certain Teva USA generic products (the “Antitrust Proceeding”); and (ii) $154 million of costs relating to the Company’s plant rationalization efforts, a portion of which consisted of costs related to plants used in the
Company’s API business that the Company intends to divest, as previously announced by the Company concurrently with its earnings release for the year ended December 31, 2023, with the remaining other
non-GAAP items in 2023 comprised across several discrete items, none of which are individually material. In 2022, other non-GAAP items primarily consisted of (i)
$114 million of litigation fees related to the Opioids Litigation and the Antitrust Proceeding; (ii) $179 million of costs relating to the Company’s plant rationalization efforts; and (iii) $122 million of expenses related to a
specific product that Teva decided to divest, consisting primarily of a write-off of raw materials purchased to produce the product and penalties related to the Company’s exit from a contract related to
the product, with the remaining other non-GAAP items in 2022 comprised across several discrete items, none of which are individually material.

The Company has reviewed the other non-GAAP items discussed above against the
Non-GAAP Requirements and believes that adjusting for such other non-GAAP items in the Company’s calculation of its Non-GAAP
Net Income is consistent with the Non-GAAP Requirements and does not cause its Non-GAAP Net Income to be misleading. Each of the other
non-GAAP items relates to matters that are distinctive and substantial and are not indicative of the ordinary course of the Company’s operations. The litigation fees included in other non-GAAP items represent fees relating to significant legal settlements for distinctive legal proceedings, primarily brought by governmental agencies, that are predicated on discrete and unique factual
circumstances. Litigation fees are only included in other non-GAAP items to the extent they involve significant amounts and relate to litigation for which the Company has recorded a significant legal
provision. The Company does not expect such distinctive legal proceedings to reoccur on a regular basis in the ordinary course of its business. The plant rationalization costs included in other non-GAAP items
relate to the Company’s efforts to reduce its manufacturing network. Beginning in 2017, following the Company’s acquisition of Allergan’s worldwide generic pharmaceuticals business in August 2016 for which it paid approximately
$40 billion, the Company initiated a robust restructuring program, through which it has divested approximately 50% of its manufacturing network. Given the scale of these rationalization efforts, the costs related thereto would have had an
outsized impact on the Company’s financial statements if not otherwise excluded as a non-GAAP item in the Company’s calculation of Non-GAAP Net Income.
Although the rationalization efforts have been ongoing for several years, they were the result of an extraordinarily large acquisition for which integration related to the rationalization of manufacturing plants takes years to implement and
continues to be implemented as Teva effects the previously announced divestiture of its API business. Additionally, this plant rationalization process is not indefinite and is expected to be completed in the near future. The Company has already
significantly reduced its manufacturing network, which is nearing the scale the Company expects to maintain to support its current business plans for the foreseeable future.

Teva believes that failing to exclude such costs would potentially cause investors to extrapolate its future financial performance from financial results that
are not reflective of the Company’s underlying business performance. Adjusting for the Company’s plant rationalization costs helps investors ascertain differences between the Company’s spending on its core business activities and the
Company’s spending on strategic efforts to reduce its manufacturing network. Lastly, other non-GAAP items in 2022 included one-time inventory write-off and related penalties related to a specific product that Teva decided to divest in 2022 as part of its portfolio optimization efforts. The inventory write-off was
excluded due to its significant, but non-recurring, impact on the Company’s financial performance, and is further described in Note 6 (Identifiable Intangible Assets) to the Company’s consolidated
financial statements included in Teva’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 These expenses were excluded from the Company’s Non-GAAP Net
Income to eliminate the impact these expenses may have of obscuring trends in the Company’s underlying business performance and to enhance the comparability of the Company’s financial results across periods.

Corresponding tax effects and unusual tax items

Corresponding tax effects and unusual tax items consist of the tax implications of adjustments made in our calculation of
Non-GAAP Net Income and other tax items that the Company views as non-recurring, infrequent or unusual. Generally, most of the expenses excluded from the Company’s Non-GAAP Net Income have a corresponding tax effect. In the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company adjusted for corresponding tax effects and unusual tax items of $446 million and
$1,021 million, respectively. In 2023, corresponding tax effects and unusual tax items primarily consisted of corresponding tax effects on expenses and income which are recognized for tax purposes, inclusive of amortization and impairment
charges, legal settlements and contingent consideration expenses. In 2022, corresponding tax effects and unusual tax items primarily consisted of $436 million of worthless stock deductions permitted under U.S. tax regulations and related items
and $585 million of corresponding tax effects on expenses and income which are recognized for tax purposes, inclusive of amortization and impairment charges, legal settlements and contingent consideration expenses.

The Company has reviewed its adjustments for corresponding tax effects and unusual tax items against the Non-GAAP
Requirements and believes that making such adjustments in the calculation of its Non-GAAP Net Income is consistent with the Non-GAAP Requirements and does not cause its Non-GAAP Net Income to be misleading. The vast majority of corresponding tax effects and unusual tax items excluded from Non-GAAP Net Income are directly attributable to
specific pre-tax transactions that are excluded from Non-GAAP Net Income. In 2022, corresponding tax effects and unusual tax items also included worthless stock
deductions. Such worthless stock deductions related to Cephalon, Inc. (“Cephalon”), a U.S. subsidiary of Teva USA acquired in 2011, and had no impact on the Company’s valuation of Cephalon or its intangible assets for GAAP reporting
purposes. The tax loss recognized in 2022 was a discrete event and no tax deduction was taken on any tax returns prior to 2022 in connection with the values assigned to Cephalon’s intangibles in the Company’s purchase accounting or its
outside basis in Cephalon. The Company excludes these discrete tax effects and tax items because they are not reflective of income tax expenses or benefits incurred as a result of the Company’s ordinary course cash-generating operations.

 For the Corresponding tax effects and unusual tax items you state the amount includes a portion of the
realization of a loss related to an investment in one of your subsidiaries. Please tell us the amount of the loss, whether that is the only adjustment not related to corresponding tax effects, and if the related loss is included as an adjustment as
well.

 Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that its adjustment for
corresponding tax effects and unusual tax items in 2022 for a portion of the realization of a loss related to an investment in one of its subsidiaries was attributable to the Company’s investment in Cephalon. The total taxable loss recognized
in connection with the Company’s investment in Cephalon was approximately $4.2 billion, with a corresponding tax benefit of $909 million. $1.96 billion of the taxable loss, with a corresponding tax effect of $436 million,
was included in the Company’s adjustment for corresponding tax effects and unusual tax items in 2022. The remainder of the total taxable loss recognized in connection with the Company’s inv
