Dutch pharmaceutical company Pfizer said Wednesday that it will pay $150 million to settle a lawsuit that it plans to pursue in federal court over allegations it illegally marketed erectile dysfunction drugs to children and adolescents.
Pfizer's agreement comes after a federal judge in Manhattan ruled in April that the company needed to make the drug a blockbuster to promote its sales of Viagra, a popular prescription drug for erectile dysfunction.
Pfizer says it will pay $150 million, a sum that it says will reimburse customers who purchase the drugs and "support the litigation." The amount is part of a settlement reached by the U. S. Department of Justice in May that sought to block Pfizer's legal action.
The case, brought by Teva Pharmaceuticals, has been filed by a New Jersey woman who claimed that Pfizer violated a settlement agreement she signed with her father. In addition to her complaint, the woman claimed that Pfizer illegally marketed her to children and adolescents.
The woman is now seeking to force Pfizer to pay for the damages that she suffered after taking the drugs, which include erectile dysfunction drugs called Viagra.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday by Teva Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer said that the company will pay for the $150 million in damages that the woman claimed were "severe medical damages" that it is owed. The claim is being investigated by the U. Justice Department and is being filed in federal court in New York.
Pfizer also claims that the woman's family was harmed by the drugs because the drugs caused her to be unable to sleep and were not effective in treating her condition.
In addition to the woman's complaint, a Pfizer spokesman said that the company will "refer the matter to the U. Court of Justice for appropriate relief." The company is in talks with the government and is seeking to obtain appropriate monetary damages for damages associated with the FDA's ongoing probe of the Viagra and Cialis cases.
The federal judge ordered Pfizer to pay $150 million to the woman for "severe medical damages" for her injuries.The woman had claimed that Pfizer knew the drugs had caused her to have low blood pressure, but the drug did not appear to affect the heart health of the woman, she said. The woman also claimed that Viagra was a "disproportionate" medicine that was given to her by her father and that she needed the drugs to treat her heart condition, she said.
In April, the woman was diagnosed with premature ejaculation after she took Viagra, the company said. The FDA has not approved Viagra for men, and Pfizer is not expected to make Viagra available to women for a prolonged period of time.
The FDA asked for a statement that it will take into consideration whether the woman had experienced any adverse side effects during treatment and whether any information on the FDA's safety or efficacy issues was shared to the company. In response to the request, Pfizer said in a statement that it will make "necessary and reasonable efforts" to address the issue.Pfizer and its stockholders have a common interest in holding the stockholders' equity at risk, the FDA said.Pfizer shares were trading at $22.59 per share, down 2.9 percent at $15.55.In a statement to Reuters, the company said: "We are pleased to make our agreement with Pfizer with the assistance of our partner and the United States Department of Justice. The resolution of this matter has a significant impact on the quality of life of our customers and our business.
"The U. Department of Justice is pleased to have had the opportunity to pursue this matter in this manner and to support the ongoing investigation of the Viagra and Cialis cases. We will continue to pursue our interests vigorously and fully cooperate with any appropriate actions taken by Pfizer and its partner."
