Under the terms of the agreement, Pfizer's responsibilities primarily consist of the commercialization of the combined generics portfolio, managing a combined marketing and sales effort using its strong brand reputation and exceptional track record of bringing new products to the market. Mylan's responsibilities primarily consist of managing operations, including research and development and manufacturing, building upon the company's strong global reputation for development of difficult to formulate products, quality manufacturing, supply chain reliability and service excellence.

The collaboration between Pfizer and Mylan will include a portfolio of more than 350 marketed products across a broad range of therapeutic categories, as well as more than 125 additional products in development. Products included in the collaboration are expected to be sold under the strong Pfizer brand with joint labeling.

"We are pleased with the opportunity to collaborate with Mylan to meet the ever-growing demand for high-quality generics in Japan. We believe this collaboration will enable both companies to effectively build upon each other's core capabilities to help meet the needs of more patients and customers in Japan than ever before," said Albert Bourla, President and General Manager of Pfizer's Established Products Business Unit. "Over the past 59 years, Pfizer Japan has built trust with patients and customers, and developed a very strong Pfizer brand. We are committed to delivering high quality medicines and believe this agreement will help us accelerate our ability to achieve our vision: Transform the Japanese Healthcare Environment with Established Products by 2020."
