RE: "http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/97/07/25/pfe_wla_y_1.html
This is the same NONSENSE that Pfizer has been trying to sell to the medical profession for 12 months now.IN fact, LET US LOOK AT THE FACTS JACK,AND ONLY THE FACTS:pFIZER CLAIMS TO HAVE:
1)Trovan, an innovative quinolone antibiotic, has been filed with the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration for 12 indications -- more than any
quinolone on the markeT"
IN FACT: there are zillions of quinolones.(~ 8).Managed care just buys the cheapest.I don't see greeat sales.We are also getting away from brad spectrum antibiotics because they encourage resistance.Bad medicine.
2)Zeldox, an antipsychotic agent, is the only product in its category that clinical trials indicate is effective in the treatment ofpositive, negative and depressive symptoms of schizophrenia. Zeldox also has been filed with the FDA.
In fact: Schizoprhrenia is a MINUSCLE field ( use thwe microsope to
a patient.Also, MANY drugs in the market.
3) LIpitor:" Lipitor is being introduced in an estimated 18 countries this year. To meet the opportunities presented by more rapidapprovals,"
IN FACT, Lipitor a buster Cholesterol lowering agent WAS NOT, NOT,
DEVELOPED BY PFIZER: Warner Lambert developed it. Pfizer ONLY markets it. So no credit for grat reaserch there.
Viagra: a) It will be a LOMG regulatory approval
b) IT WILL NOT compete with Vivus;it wil be synergistic.
And don't forget that in terms of regulatory approval, Pfizer is now under criminal investigation by the feds for false reasearch and payola to reasearchers.
In FACT MY pharmacy friends tell me the exact opposite about Pfizer:
that their new drug pipeloine IS VERY WEAK!!
Which is why Pfizer 6 weeks ago announced " slower growth ahead ".
In other words we are going full steam ahead at snail's pace!!
Go Viuvs>
