Blockbuster Scoreboard

At the beginning of 1998, it was assumed that Viagra and Propecia would be two of Big Pharma's 1998 blockbusters.

Here is a sales comparison between the Big V and Propecia for the last two quarters:

....................................$Millions
..............................2 Q........... 3Q..........Total 2Q/3Q
........................... Sales.........Sales...........Sales
Viagra.....................$411.........$141............$511
Propecia..................$ 16..........$24..............$40

As an additional reference, in 1997, Lipitor (the current most successful launch in Pharma history) had sales of $200 million in its first two quarters on the market.

Have PFun!
