The Editors, Austin, Texas, October 2002 HOOVER’S HANDBOOK OF AMERICAN BUSINESS 2003 XV PFIZER INC Mighty pharma Pfizer, already one of the largest drug companies in the world, plans to become even larger by acquiring Pharmacia. The New York City-based druggernaut’s prescription products include such winners as Lipitor (cholesterol-lowering drug), Viagra (stalwart opponent of ED, or erectile dysfunction), Zoloft (antidepressant), and Norvasc (cardiovascular treatment). Subsidiaries in the Pfizer pharmaceutical group include Warner-Lambert, ParkeDavis, and Goedecke. Pfizer also makes Rezulin, a diabetes drug linked to more than 60 deaths (the count may reach as high as 400) in the US, where it was pulled from the market at the FDA’s request. The company, which allegedly withheld early signs of the drug’s dangers from the FDA, is fighting 4,000 legal claims involving Rezulin. In addition to prescription drugs, the firm makes OTC remedies, including halitosis hiders Certs and Dentyne; sniffle-and-sneeze treatments Benadryl and Sudafed; and a plethora of other products. Pfizer also keeps Fluffy and Fido in mind with its animal health products, including Revolution (antiparasitic). The firm is selling its Schick-Wilkinson Sword shaving products division, and may sell its Tetra products division and its Adams confectionary unit. Known for its massive sales force and marketing strength, the firm has built a pipeline that includes inhalable insulin, along with treatments for heart disease, epilepsy, depression, and other maladies. The Pharmacia buy will bring into Pfizer’s fold such bestsellers as anxiety drug Xanax, colorectal cancer therapy Camptosar, and arthritis therapy Celebrex, which the pair already copromote. The buy would also strengthen Pfizer’s research efforts, which have fizzled in recent years. HISTORY Charles Pfizer and his cousin, confectioner Charles Erhart, began making chemicals in Brooklyn in 1849. Products included camphor, citric acid, and santonin (an early antiparasitic). The company, incorporated in 1900 as Chas. Pfizer & Co., was propelled into the modern drug business when it was asked to mass-produce penicillin for the war effort in 1941. The company discovered Terramycin and introduced it in 1950. Pfizer bought drugmaker Roerig in 1953, its first major acquisition. In the 1950s the company opened branches in Belgium, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, and the UK and began manufacturing in Asia, Europe, and South America. By the mid-1960s Pfizer had worldwide sales of more than $200 million. 1104 Beginning in the late 1950s, Pfizer made Salk and Sabin polio vaccines and added new drugs, such as Diabinese (antidiabetic, 1958) and Vibramycin (antibiotic, 1967). It moved into consumer products in the early 1960s, buying BenGay, Desitin, and cosmetics maker Coty (sold 1992). It bought hospital products company Howmedica in 1972 (sold in 1998) and heart-valve maker Shiley in 1979. When growth slowed in the 1970s, new chairman Edmund Pratt increased R&D expenditures, resulting in Minipress (antihypertensive, 1975), Feldene (arthritis pain reliever, 1982), and Glucotrol (antidiabetic, 1984). Licensing agreements with foreign companies let Pfizer sell antihypertensive Procardia XL and antibiotic Cefobid. In the 1980s Pfizer expanded its hospital products division, buying 18 product lines and companies. Lawsuits over the failure of about 500 heart valves and the alleged falsification of records led Pfizer to divest most of Shiley’s operations in 1992. Drugs released that year included antidepressant Zoloft, antibiotic Zithromax, and cardiovascular agent Norvasc. In 1995 Pfizer discovered a genetic technique to prevent adult onset diabetes. In 1997 the company began promoting Lipitor, the cholesterollowering drug discovered by Warner-Lambert; it grabbed nearly 13% of the market in its first four months. Pfizer also launched Aricept, Eisai’s treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Pfizer had one thing on its mind in 1998: pharmaceuticals. Amidst an orgy of divestitures in its medical products division (completely ditched by 1999), the company won FDA approval for Viagra. The little blue pill became a pop icon and seeming panacea (at least for uncreative comedians) for what the firm coyly referred to as “ED.” In 1999 Pfizer had a lot more than ED on its mind. The FDA OK’d its heart-rhythm drug Tikosyn, but complications with antibiotic Trovan led to labeling restrictions and later, in 2000, to lawsuits by people who claimed they suffered liver damage. The European Union banned its animal feed antibiotics while the company faced already slumping agricultural products sales. When Warner-Lambert said it would merge with American Home Products (now Wyeth), Pfizer sued to prevent that merger and eventually succeeded with its own hostile bid. The merger with Warner-Lambert was completed, and CEO William Steere retired. Pfizer also sold its animal feed additive business. Pfizer, IBM, and Microsoft in 2001 formed a joint venture to sell software to automate prescription writing and other administrative procedures in physicians’ offices. It also unveiled HOOVER’S HANDBOOK OF AMERICAN BUSINESS 2003 its Share Card program, designed to give discounts to its low-income, elderly patients in the US; critics argued such plans are a move to evade government price controls. In 2002 Pfizer came under federal scrutiny about Warner-Lambert’s alleged questionable sales practices in the early 1990s. Also that year the firm discovered the explosive potential of its research efforts as it suffered a blast and fire in an experimental chemical manufacturing building. It also teamed up with Serono to market multiple schlerosis drug Rebif in the US. OFFICERS Chairman, President, and CEO; President, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Group: Henry A.
