Pfizer was founded in 1849 as a fine chemical manufacturer by the cousins Charles Pfizer and Charles Erhart under the name Charles Pfizer and Company.
The company’s first success was an antiparasitic called santonin. However, its growth really started when it started producing citric acid in the 1880s.
Penicillin became inexpensive in the 1940s and the company began to look for new antibiotics with higher profit potential. Pfizer’s discovery of Terramycin in 1950 put the company on the path to being a research-based pharmaceutical company.
In 1980 Pfizer launched Fedene, an anti-inflammatory that became its first product to reach $1 billion in sales.
In the 1980s and 1990s Pfizer had a period of growth, with the resulting discoveries of Zoloft, Lipitor, Norvasc, Zithromax, Aricept, Diflucan, and Viagra.
In 2006 Pfizer sold its Consumer Healthcare unit for $16.6 billion to Johnson & Johnson.
Today Pfizer is one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies in the world by revenue. Pfizer is part of the Dow 30 and the S&P 500, has 91,500 employees, and had $58.98 billion in revenue in 2012.

Every year you run out of the availability of procardia xl 30 mg daw.
Why? I have been on this medication for 30 years. For the last 2 years your stock stock has been depleted, with no beta. Please help make this maintenance drug available. I cannot take the generic.

Active woman who recently had 2 hip replacements in the last three years.
Both were done by a highly regarded head MASS GENERAL ORTHO SURGEON…who had no regard for months of pain prior to surgery….as the ‘enlightened’ doctor makes you wait 6 months for an appointment..another 4 months for surgery….ended up with a grapefruit sized hematoma from it…5 months ago…still in therapy..still in pain…Got through the 6 month waiting period on ADVIL as I could barely move…
And lets you passively know he is doing you a favor…Just read 321 reviews for Advil…pro & con…It Works-Time & Time
Bottom line…Forgot the side effects for now..Each drug owns them..
Sitting here in Boston at 2:27 AM with relentless pain around my outer hips, thighs and buttocks…
Told said to stay off of ADVIL by those precious MGH miracle workers….kept pumping Tylenol into me at the hospital recovery unit for 3 weeks… which addresses nothing for pain.
ADVIL-not perfect- like any relationship-has been the ONLY OVER THE COUNTER PAIN MEDICATION THAT WORKS…
SO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT..I WRITE TO TELL YOUR CEO’S….Merci Beaucoup……those 2-3 little green pills
are miracle workers….And nothing else-over the counter- comes close…Susej Nyhan 617-720-XXXX

We are a 10 year old company and most employees have been in the industry for over 25 years.
Is there some way, some one would be so kind and help me or introduce me to a procurement person who would be in charge of sending out for printing.etc.
