Value of Medicine

At Pfizer Canada, we believe that to be truly healthy, it takes more than medication. Still, there may be times when you do need to take medicine. When you do, Pfizer is there to help. Thanks to ongoing and strong investments in R&D in Canada and around the world, Pfizer makes many of the world's leading medicines.

Medicines are just one part of taking care of your health; and like many preventative strategies, such as eating better, exercising and managing stress; medicines help Canada's health care dollars stretch further and help improve well-being.

In addition to relieving symptoms and improving quality of life, medicines also help reduce the frequency of hospital stays, helping to save the system money and helping Canadians to live healthier, more balanced lives.

We're also active in many other areas where innovative prescription medications play an important role in extending the lives of people with HIV/AIDS, cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases. And we're working towards reducing cholesterol, improving mortality rates for premature and low weight babies and helping to improve remission rates for Canadian women who face breast cancer.

At Pfizer Canada, we're proud to be one of Canada's largest investors in health care research and we will continue to focus our resources on creating life-saving and life-enhancing medicines to help Canadians.
