Drugmaker pauses HPV Gardasil exports as rival Pfizer gets boost from better than expected Covid vaccine and pill sales
Drugmaker pauses Gardasil exports as rival Pfizer gets boost from better-than-expected Covid vaccine and pill sales
MSD blamed the lower-than-expected forecast on the decision to pause shipments of its Gardasil vaccine to China until at least midyear. Gardasil is given to patients to prevent human papillomavirus , which is linked with cervical cancer. The pause on shipments “will facilitate a more rapid reduction of excess inventory and help support the financial position of its important and trusted partner”, MSD said in a statement.
The sales growth in newly-launched hypertension drug Winrevair, which MSD acquired in 2021 in an $11.5 billion acquisition, was also more tepid than expected, generating just under $420 million last year.
