Future Lipitor spokesman?
Executive Summary
During House Budget hearing March 7, Rep. Gutknecht (R-Minn.) asked HHS Secretary Thompson about a letter sent to a senior citizen who imported Pfizer's cholesterol drug Lipitor for personal use, quoting it as saying "this article appears to be a new drug without an approved NDA." Thompson responded, "I want to find out about those letters because I personally take Lipitor. It better be an approved drug or else my doctor is in trouble"
