Pfizer - not on the list!

Poor Pfizer! Express Scripts Inc. ( "serving the prescription needs of over 50 million Americans") are advising its employer clients to adopt a drug formulary for 2006 that will steer employees to use Zocor over Lipitor.

However, to rub salt in the wound, Express Scripts IS including both Crestor, and Vytorin, on its revised formulary!

Mercks' Zocor is coming off patent in June and Express Scripts, a pharmacy benefit management company, wants its clients and patients in position to benefit immediately when the generic version becomes available.

Also delisted are Pfizers' Detrol, Norvasc and Viagra!

Insider wonders who dropped the ball in those negotiations?
