Pfizer Sees U.S. Viagra Launch For Women At Least 2 Yrs Away
July 24, 1998 12:19 PM

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Pfizer Inc. (PFE) believes
that U.S. market clearance for impotence drug Viagra to
treat female sexual dysfunction is at least two years
away, according to Pfizer Executive Vice President
Henry McKinnell.

Speaking at a meeting with Wall Street analysts,
McKinnell said Viagra is being studied in a major Phase
II clinical trial for this new indication.

The New York drug company has noticed an
anticipated slowdown in new prescriptions for Viagra
and has seen strong growth in prescription refills, said
Karen Katen, president of the Pfizer U.S.
Pharmaceuticals Group. Over the next several months,
the company hopes to see new prescriptions for the
blockbuster drug to stabilize and then grow again, she
said.
