BOSTON -- Pfizer Inc. will plead guilty and pay $430 million US in fines to settle charges its Warner-Lambert unit flouted U.S. federal law by promoting non-approved uses for one of its drugs. The settlement with the world's largest pharmaceutical company includes a $24.6-million US payment to whistle-blower David Franklin, who first reported the marketing abuses.
Under the deal released yesterday by federal prosecutors, Pfizer acknowledged spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to promote non-approved uses for the anti-seizure drug Neurontin, in part by paying doctors hefty speakers' fees and flying them to lavish resorts as "educational" trips.
