Summary section of the report needs updating.
Pfizer is a pharmaceutical company that was founded in 1849 by Charles Pfizer and Charles Erhart. The idea for the company came about when Charles Pfizer, a chemist, and his cousin, Charles Erhart, a confectioner, recognized the potential of manufacturing and marketing chemicals for medical purposes. They started by producing and selling santonin, an antiparasitic medication, and quickly expanded their operations to include other pharmaceutical products.
