Dozens of prescription drugs faced a price hike this week in a round of raises from pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. The affected drugs include blood pressure pills Norvasc, the painkiller Lyrica, the anti-smoking drug Chantix, the lung cancer medication Xalkori, and the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra.
