TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Pfizer Inc. is unveiling a new program that will let people who have lost their jobs and health insurance keep taking some widely prescribed Pfizer medications - for free, and for up to a year.
Pfizer will provide more than 70 prescription drugs - from Lipitor to Viagra - at no cost to unemployed, uninsured Americans.
People who lost jobs since Jan. 1 and have been on Pfizer drugs for three months or more are eligible.
The announcement comes amid massive job losses caused by the recession and should bring a Pfizer some goodwill, good publicity and brand loyalty.
The program, which starts today, was requested by a committee of employees concerned about newly uninsured patients struggling to buy their medicines.
