Pfizer's marketed products are shown in [Graphic]. 65%
of Pfizer's cardiovascular sales in 2005 were from
Lipitor (atorvastatin), with sales of over $12.8bn, an
increase of 6.7% from the previous year. Pfizer also saw
extremely high growth of over 300% in 2005 for Caduet
(combination Lipitor and Norvasc), which is an attempt
to prevent revenue loss prior to the patent expiry of
Norvasc and Lipitor in 2007 and 2010, respectively.
Generic competition for Norvasc and Lipitor are
expected to be vast as they currently have a wide
patient potential, and thus Pfizer's sales will be
heavily impacted. Pfizer had intended to launch an
additional dyslipidemic, torcetrapib, in combination with
Lipitor as a further revenue protection strategy ahead
of Lipitor's patent expiry.

trials, was discontinued following...
