Pfizer, Warner-Lambert Get More Approvals For Lipitor July 13, 1998 3:35 PM WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--Lipitor, which Pfizer Inc. (PFE) and Warner-Lambert Co. (WLA) co-market, received two additional approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. At the end of 1996, the FDA originally cleared the drug as a cholesterol-lowering therapy. Friday, the FDA granted expanded approval for the drug to be used with diet changes by patients with high triglyceride, or fat levels. Lipitor was also cleared for marketing as a treatment for patients who haven't responded adequately to dietary changes in treating primary dysbetalipoproteinemia, which causes people to have extremely high amounts of cholesterol and other fats in their blood streams. As of June, Lipitor had captured almost 40% of the market for statins, a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs. Warner-Lambert reported in its last quarterly earnings report that Lipitor had sales of $378 million for the three-month period. -Otesa Middleton 202-862-6654
