Product Messaging Risks<br />

Colleagues underst<strong>and</strong> well that when mentioning a <strong>Pfizer</strong> product by name to a customer, any<br />

statements they make can expose the company to a risk of inappropriate promotion. However,<br />

colleagues often mistakenly believe that as long as they do not mention <strong>Pfizer</strong> products by name <strong>and</strong><br />

only talk “above br<strong>and</strong>,” i.e., just about disease states, they are not at risk of promoting <strong>Pfizer</strong> products<br />

inappropriately. However, as a representative of <strong>Pfizer</strong> charged with driving <strong>Pfizer</strong> business, you may<br />

be at risk of inappropriate promotion in certain cases even when not mentioning a <strong>Pfizer</strong> product. For<br />

example, discussing with a customer disease areas where <strong>Pfizer</strong> does not yet have an approved<br />

product, <strong>and</strong>/or therapeutic areas that are broader than those where <strong>Pfizer</strong> has indications with<br />

approved products, may present a risk of inappropriate promotion.<br />

Do not discuss with a customer a product or disease state unless you have completed the required<br />

training on that product or a disease state. If you discuss a product or disease state you are not<br />

familiar with, you risk inadvertently making (or implying) a statement that is not consistent with<br />

<strong>Pfizer</strong>’s approved messaging.<br />
