The British pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, headquartered in New York, recently announced that its annual sales of the world's best-selling medicines will be up by an average of $1 billion in the United States.
The company's sales, which are based on Pfizer's annual profit, were down in September after the U. S. Food and Drug Administration announced that sales of the antidepressant Cialis (tadalafil), which is used to treat erectile dysfunction, were up by more than 80 percent in the month ended September 30, when the drug was launched.
Cialis, the world's biggest-selling drug, has generated more than $1 billion in annual sales since its introduction in 1998. Pfizer is in a race to find a cheaper alternative to the drug, and it faces questions about its future.
In December, the company's U. sales were down $1.7 billion in the year ended September 30. It's been down about two percent this year, as the number of U. adults ages 18 and older continues to decline. On the other hand, Pfizer's revenue growth, which was $1.7 billion last year, was about 1 percent, down from the previous year.
In terms of revenues, its sales were up about 2 percent to $7 billion. For the quarter, the company lost about 2 percent to $3.6 billion, the biggest loss for Pfizer, although the number of patients treated for ED increased from 7 million in the quarter to about 10 million in the previous year.
Pfizer's U. sales rose about 1 percent last year to $5.4 billion, while the company's revenue was down about 2 percent to $5.1 billion. In November, the company announced that its sales of its top-selling drug, the antidepressant Celexa (citalopram), had fallen by more than 15 percent, to $2.7 billion. In the same month, Pfizer announced that its sales of its generic drug Celebrex (brexitril), which is used to treat high blood pressure and angina, had risen by more than 15 percent, to $1.2 billion, and the company was still in a race to find a cheaper alternative.
The company has said that its patent for Celebrex, a popular anti-inflammatory drug, will expire in December. The drug, which has the potential to be a blockbuster by the time it is launched, will be available in the U. and other countries.
Pfizer is in a tight economic environment, with few signs that it will be able to keep the company's stock up at the beginning of this year. The company has been forced to face intense competition from outside the pharmaceutical market from the likes of GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of pain reliever Celebrex and the drug's maker of generic drugs, Merck. Pfizer is also facing competition from generic drug makers such as Teva, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries and Cialis.
Pfizer's sales fell to $5.3 billion in the year ended September 30, down from $5.3 billion the same year, according to IMS Health. In its November financial report, IMS said that sales of its most expensive medicine, the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen (Advil), were down about 2 percent to $7.5 billion.
The company's revenue fell 2 percent to $7.5 billion in the same month, the IMS report said, and sales of its top-selling drug, the antidepressant Effexor (venlafaxine), fell to $2.4 billion, down from $2.6 billion the same year, according to IMS.
The drugmaker, which sells generic versions of its drugs, is facing the challenging challenges of having to deal with new generic competition from several companies that are making generic versions of their drugs.
Pfizer is expected to face competition from generic drug makers such as Teva and Cialis. The company's patent on the drug expired in May, which was the last year it would have to make generic versions of the drug. However, Pfizer has not been able to make generic versions of its drugs in the U. since its launch in 1998.
A spokesperson for Pfizer said, "Pfizer continues to market its products in the U. and is committed to patient safety."
