>>I am curious because some estimates have Pfizer at a 2Billion dollar a year drug. If it costs $1 to produce and distribute a $10 pill, this could add 1.8 Billion pre tax to the net income. This would almost quadruple the current net income.

I'm a little confused by your math. Even if Pfizer made 90% margins on Viagra and added $1.8B to pretax, and even if they didn't have to pay any taxes, it wouldn't quadruple their ttm earnings of $2.213B. Viagra is BIG, but Pfizer is already HUGE!
