Business

Last week's trivia answer

Founded in 1849 in Brooklyn, my first product was an anti-parasitic.

By 1900, I mainly sold citric acid, camphor, cream of tartar, borax and iodine. I began making penicillin during World War II and was soon the world's largest producer of it. My animal products division began in 1952. My portfolio - which includes Aricept, Caduet, Celebrex, Exubera, Lipitor, Norvasc, Relpax, Viagra, Zoloft and Zyrtec - features many of the world's top-selling medicines. In 2006 I introduced Chantix, to help people stop smoking. My annual sales top $48 billion. I'm the product of mergers with Warner-Lambert and Pharmacia. Who am I? (Answer: Pfizer)
