EXUBERA LAUNCH DELAYED BY PFIZER

July 27, 2006

Pfizer says it will delay the launch of its inhaled insulin Exubera until September, several weeks later than originally planned. Previously, Pfizer said the drug would be available in mid-July. Although Exubera was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in January and made available in Germany and Ireland in May, Pfizer executives said Thursday that they wanted to make sure U.S. educational programs for doctors, pharmacists, diabetes educators and patients cover all the bases.
