NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pfizer Inc announced today that a New York state court ruled in favor of the company on an important motion relating to litigation over Pfizer’s Celebrex medication. New York Supreme Court Justice Shirley W. Kornreich ruled that the plaintiffs suing Pfizer in New York failed to present reliable scientific evidence necessary to prove that Celebrex can cause heart attacks and strokes at 200 mg daily – the most commonly prescribed dosage of the Pfizer pain medication. In her decision, Justice Kornreich held that “ . . . with regard to Celebrex at 200mg/d[aily], the scientific evidence, whether for a heart attack or stroke, is just not there.”
