Pfizer categorically denies the claims asserted in the plaintiffs' complaints ... Wyeth obtained its patents protecting Effexor XR lawfully, and the company intends to defend itself vigorously against these claims.
Pfizer is the best marketing pharmaceutical company in the world ... It’s a master at marketing drugs. It should not be surprising that they’re going to try some interesting things to squeeze out all the value from that brand.
As a result, patients receive Lipitor at co-pays comparable to generics. Participation in Pfizer's programs by a health plan is entirely voluntary.
We are concerned that the (benefits management companies) may charge health plan sponsors, including employers and Medicare Part D, full price for brand name Lipitor from Dec. 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012, while pocketing the discount from Pfizer
Pfizer has made $100 billion on Lipitor. It has received a very great reward for its work developing and marketing the drug ... Now the consumers are supposed to get the benefit. Let us all hope this happens. If it does not, it says something about our system.
According to Marketplace, on Friday Lipitor will go off patent. On Thursday, the Indian drug company Ranbaxy will launch its generic at a low price. Pfizer will also lower the price of Lipitor to the generic levels.
While we expect Ranbaxy to launch on time, the potential upside from Lipitor could be impacted by Pfizer’s aggressive strategy, possible FDA penalty, delay in launch or its launch with a partner.
Pfizer is certainly in trouble with the Lipitor expiration but has a host of drugs that could make up for the lost revenue
I know if I get Lipitor, I know it's coming from Pfizer.
Pfizer won't give up Lipitor easily
