One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions

A Pharmaceutical Powerhouse

Pfizer is a global pharmaceutical corporation headquartered in New York City. Founded in 1849, it is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. The company is known for the development and distribution of healthcare solutions across a broad range of therapeutic areas. Pfizer's portfolio includes medicines, vaccines, and consumer health products aimed at improving patient health and well-being.

From Chemicals to Combatting Covid

Founded in 1849 by Charles Pfizer and Charles Erhart in Brooklyn, New York, Pfizer began as a manufacturer of fine chemicals. The company expanded over the decades, becoming a multinational corporation that now stands as one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. It has introduced a number of notable drugs to the market, including Lipitor, Viagra, and Zoloft. In 2020, in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Pfizer collaborated with BioNTech and developed a vaccine that became one of the first to receive emergency use authorization worldwide.

From Serious Conditions to Minor Issues

Pfizer's product portfolio encompasses a wide range of medical needs, from treating serious illnesses to addressing minor health conditions. For life-threatening diseases such as cancer, Pfizer offers oncology drugs designed to improve survival rates and quality of life. On the other end of the spectrum, the company also provides over-the-counter consumer healthcare products for everyday ailments like pain, colds, and digestive issues.

Serving Patients Worldwide

Like many other pharmaceutical companies, with Eli Lilly being a good example, Pfizer's operations are widespread, extending to more than 125 countries across the globe. The company maintains a robust distribution network that ensures a wide reach for its products. Its global operations encompass research and development, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of a broad range of pharmaceuticals and health solutions. This means that patients located in different countries have access to more or less the same offerings of medications, local regulations permitting.
