Pfizer to Re-Organize Business Units: Pfizer is re-organizing its business into three business segments, separating its consumer healthcare business into a standalone unit. Beginning 2019, Pfizer will report under three new business units — Innovative Medicines, Established Medicines and Consumer Healthcare. Presently, Pfizer has two reporting segments namely Innovative Health and Essential Health.

The present Innovative Health unit will be called the Innovative Medicines unit and will now include biosimilars and a new hospital business unit for anti-infectives and sterile injectables — both of which are presently reported under Essential Health. The Essential Health unit will now be renamed to Established Medicines. This unit will include Pfizer’s legacy brands that have lost or will lose market exclusivity.

Trump Slams Pfizer for Price Hikes; Pfizer Defers Increases: In a tweet, President Donald Trump slammed Pfizer for raising prices of several of its prescription drugs, effective from Jul 1. Trump said Pfizer and other U.S. drugmakers should be “ashamed” that they had raised drug prices for “no reason.” The tweet also said that by raising drug prices in the United States, these drug companies were offering “bargain basement prices” overseas. He warned that the administration will respond. A day after this tweet was published, Pfizer issued a statement saying it will defer the price increases until the President’s drug pricing blueprint goes into effect or until the end of the year, whichever is earlier.
