The results, explains Pfizer which has lowered its forecasts for the whole of 2012, discount the loss of the exclusive rights to some drugs, in particular on Lipitor, the medicine for the treatment of high cholesterol. However, Pfizer&#039;s board has authorized the launch of a new 10 billion dollar buy-back plan following the sale of nutrition-related businesses to Nestle&#039;.
