By Jonathan D. Rockoff and Cara Lombardo Updated July 29, 2019 7:42 am ET Pfizer Inc. PFE 0.98% agreed to merge its off-patent drugs business with generic drugmaker Mylan NV.
Mylan Chief Executive Heather Bresch will retire after the deal closes, which is expected to happen in the middle of 2020, the companies said Monday. The deal brings together two businesses whose sales have slowed since former big sellers lost patent protection and began facing lower-priced competition. For Pfizer, these include Lipitor cholesterol pills and the male-impotence drug Viagra.
Pfizer is in the later stages of developing a number of new products, each of which could surpass $1 billion in yearly sales if approved, accelerating growth.
Translation: Pfizer bought out one of the obstacles to higher pricing.

Pfizer and Mylan reportedly near merger deal for low-priced drugsOne company makes Xanax and Viagra. The other makes the popular EpiPen drug for people with allergies. Now they may be close to merging. You went crazy over sprint and t-mobile yesterday but this is a big win ? This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt where your priorities lays. Not a peep out of democrats and you reporting it as a good deal. This is a shame. This is why we have President Trump. Nonononononononono Hmmm, with lesser competition, it's easier for big corporations to dictate and control prices. I hope this low-price drug market goal is going to happen.
