Pfizer announces another takeover for Emergen-C

[Anonymous]

Pfizer Inc on Monday said it had acquired privately held Alacer Corp, the largest U.S. maker of vitamin C products, including Emergen-C, bolstering Pfizer's array of vitamin brands and its consumer healthcare business. A 30-pack of Emergen-C sells for $9.99 on the drugstore Walgreen Co.’s website.

“Emergen-C products add to and greatly complement our market-leading dietary supplement portfolio,” Paul Sturman, president of Pfizer Consumer Healthcare, said in the statement.

Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed by New York-based Pfizer, which plans to divest its nutritional and animal health units.

There is no Pfizer discounts given at Walgreen's. Try walking back to the retail pharmacy, flash your business card and ask for one.

Wow. REALLY grasping for straws! Talk about a sinking ship!

What is funny, is that Pfizer has previously divested ALL of the OTC products.

With the Wyeth purchase...back into OTC products.

Sad to watch the ups and downs of unique decisions!
