Pfizer Egypt has sold 150,000 pills of anti-impotence drug Viagra during its first week of production in the country. The first week sales earned the company, a subsidiary of Pfizer in the United States, a total of three million Egyptian pounds ($644,000), reported Al-Alam Al-Yaum.
Following recurrent disputes over the local production and marketing rights of the Viagra pills, the Shoura Council’s Health Committee recently decided that all local pharmaceutical manufacturers will be allowed to produce generic versions of Viagra, subject to the approval of the Ministry of Health. — (menareport.com)
