U.S. – A federal appeals court has upheld a judgment against pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc. for $142 million. As reported by Reuters, the panel of appellate judges in Boston determined Wednesday that the company should pay the verdict linked to marketing and prescribing the epilepsy drug Neurontin for uses that had not been approved by the FDA.
