For the first time, a major pharmaceutical company is to pay US$1.3 billion in charges to market a generic version of Pfizer's antibiotic, doxycycline hyclate.
The US-based multinational will pay an estimated US$500 million to the company, and will pay US$200 million to Pfizer in future charges related to its off-label use of doxycycline hyclate.
It is the latest in a string of government-imposed charges on the drugmaker that it will pay an estimated US$1.3 billion to market the drug in the US, or roughly 30 per cent of the company's revenue.
Pfizer said it has paid more than US$1 billion to market the antibiotic in the US, but will pay US$1.9 billion to market doxycycline hyclate, the first generic version of Pfizer's antibiotic. The US government has also paid $500 million to market doxycycline hyclate, a version of the antibiotic that Pfizer has made the drug for several years, and will pay US$3.2 billion to market doxycycline hyclate, the company said.
Pfizer has not announced the charges, which are expected to last until April 2023, the US pharmaceutical company said in a statement. However, the company said the total amount paid to market its own version of doxycycline hyclate was less than US$1.9 billion, and it is expected to raise $3 billion in the next few months to fund further trials.
The company also said it will pay US$600 million to market doxycycline hyclate in the US, the same amount it has been paid to market a generic version of the antibiotic.
The company said it was taking the money from other drugmakers and other countries to fund the clinical trials, which will help Pfizer achieve its goals of treating patients with the drug with the highest level of effectiveness. In the US, the drugmaker will pay the US$1.9 billion to market doxycycline hyclate in the same period.
In a statement, Pfizer said the company will not pay US$1.3 billion to market the drug or any other generic versions of the antibiotic, as these were approved for use in developing countries in the 1990s and are now in development.
The company also said it will pay US$1.9 billion to market doxycycline hyclate in the US, which is being sold by a subsidiary of Pfizer Inc.
The drugmaker is one of Pfizer's biggest shareholders and will own approximately 40 per cent of the company, while the remaining minority interests are Pfizer Inc's American operations, which have operations in Puerto Rico.
Pfizer has been trying to develop and sell its own versions of the antibiotic since it introduced it in 2001, but the company has not had success.
Pfizer said it will pay US$300 million to market doxycycline hyclate in the US, with a potential total of US$1 billion to market the drug in the US.
