Pfizer Inc.’s Wyeth unit properly warned a Virginia woman’s doctors about the risks of its Prempro menopause drug, a jury ruled today in rejecting her claim for damages.
Jurors in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, deliberated about four hours over two days before finding that Georgia Torkie-Tork couldn’t show that Wyeth officials downplayed the breast-cancer risks associated with Prempro, a hormone-replacement drug. The decision was Wyeth’s fourth straight victory in a Prempro suit weighed by a jury.
