Novartis joins Pfizer in halting U.S. drug price hikes
Novartis expects to hit the top of its 2018 sales guidance after a strong second quarter, the CEO said, despite joining Pfizer in freezing its U.S. drug prices for the rest of the year following pressure from President Donald Trump. Chief Executive Vas Narasimhan said Novartis would likely easily achieve mid-single digit percentage sales growth for 2018, on rising demand for psoriasis-and-arthritis drug Cosentyx and robust sales of heart-failure medicine Entresto. "We would expect to see, assuming continued momentum like we're seeing now, to be at the high end of that range," Narasimhan said, adding that this would come without price hikes as Novartis keeps the lid on medicine costs under pressure from U.S. lawmakers and Trump.
