Pfizer reports increase in 2006 ophthalmology revenues

NEW YORK — Pfizer reported worldwide ophthalmology revenues of $1.46 billion for 2006, up 6% from 2005. The increase was almost entirely driven by sales of the glaucoma medications Xalatan (latanoprost) and Xalacom (timolol and latanoprost).

Ophthalmology revenues experienced the sharpest increase within the United States, rising 12% over 2005 to $483 million, according to the company's earnings release.
