Pfizer finds heart attack risk with Celebrex, plans to continue to sell drug
The company said it has no plans to remove Celebrex from the market, but the disclosure on Friday sent Pfizer's shares tumbling because of fears that it could cripple sales of what had been the most-prescribed drug for treating arthritis.
Acting FDA Commissioner Lester Crawford said the government is advising physicians to consider prescribing drugs other than Celebrex to their patients.
"We're leaving open all regulatory decisions as we move forward. But we do not have a decision on the fate of the product," said Crawford, during a press briefing. "We do have great concern about this product (Celebrex) and the class of products."
