<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4429228"]You, like many of us here, bought into our PR machine. Look, we hit the jackpot 15-20 years ago because of the heavy investment into R&D in the 80s. We also used to hire aggressive, bright junior military officers (many of whom came from West Point), science majors, business majors with very high GPAs from great schools, experienced nurses, and teachers. We could manage our own territories, and we were very aggressive. That aggressiveness and strong portfolio led to other companies begging us to co-promote their drugs. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank GOD for that, because without those drugs Celebrex, Bextra, Zyrtec, Aricept, Lipitor would've gone to someone else, and then we would be selling...uhm, let me think. Back to my story: Peering into the crystal ball in '98 (my start year), we saw that we needed to black widow spider our co-promotes, so we jumped on Warner Lambert for Lipitor sales, and a year or two Pharmacia/Upjohn for COX-2 portfolio, Zyvox (I think?) and their Oncology portfolio, and a bunch of drugs that never made it to market. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know that I'm leaving off Spiriva and other meds, but I thank that you catch my point: a lot of our apparent success during our Glory Years was built on our success with Procardia XL, Zoloft, Diflucan, Norvasc, Zithromax, and a few other drugs launched in 1990-1993 (before my time, so I'm guessing). Now that we are reaping the fruits of bad R&D investment ($70 billion in the 90s? OMG!), we are the new Cover Boy of Fortune magazine. The very same magazine that pushed Pfizer on their cover as THE company to work for 18 years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
