Pfizer answers customers

Pfizer has this week sent a letter to pharmacists and dispensing doctors addressing various questions raised by customers about the company's distribution arrangements with UniChem.

In the letter, David Watson, head of trade, says that Pfizer is completing discussions with the profession via the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee, the Department of Health and other trade bodies, and will be announcing the new discount arrangements in the next two weeks.

The letter also reveals: “We do not rule out the possibility of working with more than one distribution partner in the future if we feel there are additional benefits for Pfizer, customers and ultimately patients.”
