[Title] => The Filipino interest
[Summary] =>
A few months back, this column commiserated with multinational drug giant Pfizer following its many setbacks in the local and international pharmaceutical markets. Back then, the giant was reeling under the stigma of a fatal botched drug experiment which led to the untimely resignation of its global chairman. The debacle was then taking place amid nose-diving Pfizer share prices in the major bourses and mass lay-offs in various company concerns worldwide.

[Title] => High blood over low prices
[Summary] =>
The Philippine International Trade Corp.’s (PITC) announcement last week that it will stop the importation of Pfizer’s hypertension drug Norvasc was justified by the recent launch of United Laboratories’ (Unilab) own version of a hypertension drug named Amvasc.

[Title] => Gov’t scraps plan to import hypertension drug Norvasc
[Summary] =>
The Philippine International Trading Corp. (PITC) will not import the hypertension drug Norvasc now that local pharmaceutical manufacturer United Laboratories Inc. (Unilab) has come out with its own cheaper hypertension drug, Amvasc.
According to PITC chairman and president Roberto M. Pagdanganan, Unilab’s Amvasc will retail at P17.50 compared to Pfizer’s P74.75 for the 10 milligram tablet and P44.75 for the five mg tablet.
PITC is being sued by Pfizer for patent infringement for importing 40 tablets of Norvasc.

[Title] => Affordable medicine
[Summary] =>
In the Philippines, one dies not because he is sick, but because he is poor.
This, in essence, was the startling revelation made by leading cardiologist, Dr. Esperanza Cabral, secretary of social welfare and development.
According to Dr. Cabral, there are an estimated 7.76 million Filipinos currently suffering from hypertension who she aptly labeled as "walking time bombs." The label merely dramatizes what could happen to any of these Filipinos – that a vein supplying blood to the brain could just erupt anytime, causing either death or paralysis.
