Jakab says Pfizer has managed the transition to a generic version of Lipitor and loss of revenues from the blockbuster drug in a well planned manner. The branded version of Lipitor still has a 32% market share according to IMS. An approved generic version of Lipitor sold by Watson Pharmaceuticals has a 27% market share. As a result the shock of losing Lipitor revenues has been cushioned to some extent. In 2008 Lipitor comprised 26% of Pfizer sales, in 2011 this has about 14%. This was partly achieved by acquiring Wyeth in 2009. Pfizer has returned $12 billion to shareholders in dividends and share buybacks in the year ending September.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
