[3] | 2016 v. 2015––The increase in the domestic loss was primarily due to a charge related to the write-down of HIS net assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell, higher asset impairments, and higher restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs, partially offset by the inclusion of a full year of legacy U.S. Hospira operations as compared to four months of U.S. operations in 2015, and lower charges for legal matters.

Those conditions included the inability to obtain significant conversions of Venezuelan bolivars related to intercompany U.S. dollar denominated accounts, an evaluation of the effects of the implementation of a fourth-quarter 2015 operational restructuring, resulting in a 36% reduction in our labor force in Venezuela, and our expectation of the changes in Venezuela’s responses to changes in its economy. | |||||

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies A. Basis of Presentation See the Glossary of Defined Terms at the beginning of this 2017 Financial Report for terms used throughout the consolidated financial statements and related notes of this 2017 Financial Report. The consolidated financial statements include our parent company and all subsidiaries, and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The decision of whether or not to consolidate an entity requires consideration of majority voting interests, as well as effective economic or other control over the entity. Typically, we do not seek control by means other than voting interests. For subsidiaries operating outside the U.S., the financial information is included as of and for the year ended November 30 for each year presented. Pfizer's fiscal year-end for U.S. subsidiaries is as of and for the year ended December 31 for each year presented. Substantially all unremitted earnings of international subsidiaries are free of legal and contractual restrictions. All significant transactions among our businesses have been eliminated. Taxes paid on intercompany sales transactions are deferred until recognized upon sale of the asset to a third party. We manage our commercial operations through two distinct business segments: Pfizer Innovative Health (IH) and Pfizer Essential Health (EH). For additional information, see Note 18 . Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements and associated notes may not add due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts. Our recent significant business development activities include: • On February 3, 2017, we completed the sale of our global infusion systems net assets, HIS, to ICU Medical, a global device manufacturer, for up to approximately $900 million , composed of cash and contingent cash consideration, ICU Medical common stock and seller financing. HIS includes IV pumps, solutions and devices. The operating results of HIS are included in the consolidated statement of income and EH’s operating results through February 2, 2017 and, therefore, our financial results, and EH’s operating results, for the year ended December 31, 2017 reflect approximately one month of HIS domestic operations and approximately two months of HIS international operations, while our financial results, and EH’s operating results, for the year ended December 31, 2016 reflect 12 months of HIS global operations and for the year ended December 31, 2015 reflect four months of HIS U.S. operations and three months of HIS international operations. Assets and liabilities associated with HIS are presented as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. • On December 22, 2016, which falls in the first fiscal quarter of 2017 for our international operations, we acquired the development and commercialization rights to AstraZeneca’s small molecule anti-infectives business, primarily outside the U.S. for $1,045 million , composed of cash and contingent consideration. Commencing from the acquisition date, our financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of this business, and, in accordance with our international reporting period, our financial results, EH’s operating results, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017 reflect approximately 11 months of the small molecule anti-infectives business acquired from AstraZeneca. • On September 28, 2016, we acquired Medivation for $81.50 per share. The total fair value of consideration transferred for Medivation was approximately $14.3 billion in cash ( $13.9 billion , net of cash acquired). Commencing from the acquisition date, our financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of Medivation. Therefore, Medivation operations are reflected in our financial results, IH’s operating results, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017. In accordance with our domestic and international reporting periods, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 reflect approximately three months of Medivation operations. • On June 24, 2016, we acquired Anacor for $99.25 per share. The total fair value of consideration transferred for Anacor was approximately $4.9 billion in cash ( $4.5 billion , net of cash acquired), plus $698 million debt assumed. Commencing from the acquisition date, our financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of Anacor. Therefore, Anacor operations are reflected in our financial results, IH’s operating results, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017. In accordance with our domestic and international reporting periods, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 reflect approximately six months of Anacor operations. • On April 6, 2016, we announced that the merger agreement between Pfizer and Allergan entered into on November 22, 2015 was terminated by mutual agreement of the companies. The decision was driven by the actions announced by the U.S. Department of Treasury on April 4, 2016, which the companies concluded qualified as an “Adverse Tax Law Change” under the merger agreement. In connection with the termination of the merger agreement, on April 8, 2016 (which fell into Pfizer’s second fiscal quarter), Pfizer paid Allergan $150 million (pre-tax) for reimbursement of Allergan’s expenses associated with the terminated transaction (see Note 4 ). Pfizer and Allergan also released each other from any and all claims in connection with the merger agreement. • On September 3, 2015, we acquired Hospira for approximately $16.1 billion in cash ( $15.7 billion , net of cash acquired). Commencing from the acquisition date, our financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of Hospira. In accordance with our domestic and international reporting periods, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 reflect four months of Hospira U.S. operations and three months of Hospira international operations. For additional information, see Note 2. B. Adoption of New Accounting Standards in 2017 We adopted a new standard as of January 1, 2017 that amended guidance on the assessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. Under this new guidance, when evaluating whether an entity is the primary beneficiary, a single decision maker must consider its indirect interest held through related parties under common control proportionately. There was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements from adopting this standard. We adopted a new standard as of January 1, 2017 related to inventory. The new guidance requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. There was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements from adopting this standard. C. Estimates and Assumptions In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we use certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures, including amounts recorded and disclosed in connection with acquisitions. These estimates and underlying assumptions can impact all elements of our financial statements. For example, in the consolidated statements of income, estimates are used when accounting for deductions from revenues (such as rebates, chargebacks, sales allowances and sales returns), determining the cost of inventory that is sold, allocating cost in the form of depreciation and amortization, and estimating restructuring charges and the impact of contingencies, as well as determining provisions for taxes on income. On the consolidated balance sheets, estimates are used in determining the valuation and recoverability of assets, such as accounts receivable, investments, inventories, deferred tax assets, fixed assets and intangible assets (including acquired IPR&D assets), and estimates are used in determining the reported amounts of liabilities, such as taxes payable, benefit obligations, accruals for contingencies, rebates, chargebacks, sales allowances and sales returns, and restructuring reserves, all of which also impact the consolidated statements of income. Our estimates are often based on complex judgments and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, but that can be inherently uncertain and unpredictable. If our estimates and assumptions are not representative of actual outcomes, our results could be materially impacted. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, our estimates and assumptions may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, or unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause us to change those estimates and assumptions. We are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimated amounts, such as changes in the healthcare environment, competition, litigation, legislation and regulations. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions using historical experience and expectations about the future. We adjust our estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances indicate the need for change. For information on estimates and assumptions in connection with the TCJA, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements–– Note 5A . Tax Matters: Taxes on Income from Continuing Operations. D. Acquisitions Our consolidated financial statements include the operations of acquired businesses after the completion of the acquisitions. We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date and that the fair value of acquired IPR&D be recorded on the balance sheet. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the consideration transferred over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. When we acquire net assets that do not constitute a business, as defined in U.S. GAAP, no goodwill is recognized and acquired IPR&D is expensed. Contingent consideration in a business combination is included as part of the acquisition cost and is recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Fair value is generally estimated by using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. Any liability resulting from contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. These changes in fair value are recognized in earnings in Other (income)/deductions––net . Amounts recorded in connection with an acquisition can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. For information about the risks associated with estimates and assumptions, see Note 1C. E. Fair Value We are often required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value, either upon initial recognition or for subsequent accounting or reporting. For example, we use fair value extensively in the initial recognition of net assets acquired in a business combination, when measuring certain impairment losses and when accounting for and reporting of certain financial instruments. We estimate fair value using an exit price approach, which requires, among other things, that we determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly market. The determination of an exit price is considered from the perspective of market participants, considering the highest and best use of non-financial assets and, for liabilities, assuming that the risk of non-performance will be the same before and after the transfer. When estimating fair value, depending on the nature and complexity of the asset or liability, we may use one or all of the following techniques: • Income approach, which is based on the present value of a future stream of net cash flows. • Market approach, which is based on market prices and other information from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. • Cost approach, which is based on the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets, less an allowance for functional and/or economic obsolescence. Our fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs: • Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs). • Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means (Level 2 inputs). • Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (Level 3 inputs). A single estimate of fair value can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. For information about the risks associated with estimates and assumptions, see Note 1C. F. Foreign Currency Translation For most of our international operations, local currencies have been determined to be the functional currencies. We translate functional currency assets and liabilities to their U.S. dollar equivalents at exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and we translate functional currency income and expense amounts to their U.S. dollar equivalents at average exchange rates for the period. The U.S. dollar effects that arise from changing translation rates are recorded in Other comprehensive income/(loss) . The effects of converting non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities into the functional currency are recorded in Other (income)/deductions––net . For operations in highly inflationary economies, we translate monetary items at rates in effect as of the balance sheet date, with translation adjustments recorded in Other (income)/deductions––net , and we translate non-monetary items at historical rates. G. Revenues and Trade Accounts Receivable Revenue Recognition —We record revenues from product sales when the goods are shipped and title passes to the customer. At the time of sale, we also record estimates for a variety of revenue deductions, such as chargebacks, rebates, sales allowances and sales returns. When we cannot reasonably estimate the amount of future sales returns and/or other revenue deductions, we record revenues when the risk of product return and/or additional revenue deductions has been substantially eliminated. Deductions from Revenues–– Our gross product revenues are subject to a variety of deductions, that generally are estimated and recorded in the same period that the revenues are recognized, and primarily represent chargebacks, rebates and sales allowances to wholesalers, and, to a lesser extent, distributors like MCOs, retailers and government agencies with respect to our pharmaceutical products. Those deductions represent estimates of rebates and discounts related to gross sales for the reporting period and, as such, knowledge and judgment of market conditions and practice are required when estimating the impact of these revenue deductions on gross sales for a reporting period. Specifically: • In the U.S., we record provisions for pharmaceutical Medicare, Medicaid, and performance-based contract rebates based upon our experience ratio of rebates paid and actual prescriptions written during prior quarters. We apply the experience ratio to the respective period’s sales to determine the rebate accrual and related expense. This experience ratio is evaluated regularly to ensure that the historical trends are as current as practicable. We estimate discounts on branded prescription drug sales to Medicare Part D participants in the Medicare “coverage gap,” also known as the “doughnut hole,” based on the historical experience of beneficiary prescriptions and consideration of the utilization that is expected to result from the discount in the coverage gap. We evaluate this estimate regularly to ensure that the historical trends and future expectations are as current as practicable. For performance-based contract rebates, we also consider current contract terms, such as changes in formulary status and rebate rates. • Outside the U.S., the majority of our pharmaceutical sales allowances are contractual or legislatively mandated and our estimates are based on actual invoiced sales within each period, which reduces the risk of variations in the estimation process. In certain European countries, rebates are calculated on the government’s total unbudgeted pharmaceutical spending or on specific product sales thresholds, and we apply an estimated allocation factor against our actual invoiced sales to project the expected level of reimbursement. We obtain third-party information that helps us to monitor the adequacy of these accruals. • Provisions for pharmaceutical chargebacks (primarily reimbursements to U.S. wholesalers for honoring contracted prices to third parties) closely approximate actual as we settle these deductions generally within two to five weeks of incurring the liability. • Provisions for pharmaceutical sales returns are based on a calculation for each market that incorporates the following, as appropriate: local returns policies and practices; historical returns as a percentage of sales; an understanding of the reasons for past returns; estimated shelf life by product; an estimate of the amount of time between shipment and return or lag time; and any other factors that could impact the estimate of future returns, such as loss of exclusivity, product recalls or a changing competitive environment. Generally, returned products are destroyed, and customers are refunded the sales price in the form of a credit. • We record sales incentives as a reduction of revenues at the time the related revenues are recorded or when the incentive is offered, whichever is later. We estimate the cost of our sales incentives based on our historical experience with similar incentives programs to predict customer behavior. Our accruals for Medicare rebates, Medicaid and related state program rebates, performance-based contract rebates, chargebacks, sales allowances and sales returns and cash discounts totaled $4.9 billion and $4.3 billion as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The following table provides information about the balance sheet classification of these accruals: As of December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 Reserve against Trade accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts $ 1,352 $ 1,154 Other current liabilities : Accrued rebates 2,674 2,261 Other accruals 512 509 Other noncurrent liabilities 385 357 Total accrued rebates and other accruals $ 4,923 $ 4,282 Amounts recorded for revenue deductions can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. For information about the risks associated with estimates and assumptions, see Note 1C. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from Revenues . Collaborative Arrangements— Payments to and from our collaboration partners are presented in our consolidated statements of income based on the nature of the arrangement (including its contractual terms), the nature of the payments and applicable accounting guidance. Under co-promotion agreements, we record the amounts received from our collaboration partners as alliance revenues, a component of Revenues, when our collaboration partners are the principal in the transaction and we receive a share of their net sales or profits. Alliance revenues are recorded when our collaboration partners ship the product and title passes to their customer. The related expenses for selling and marketing these products are included in Selling, informational and administrative expenses. In collaborative arrangements where we manufacture a product for our collaboration partners, we record revenues when our collaboration partners sell the product and title passes to their customers. All royalty payments to collaboration partners are included in Cost of sales . Royalty payments received from collaboration partners are included in Other (income)/deductions—net. Trade Accounts Receivable —Trade accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance against gross trade accounts receivable reflects the best estimate of probable losses inherent in the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other current information. Trade accounts receivable are written off after all reasonable means to collect the full amount (including litigation, where appropriate) have been exhausted. H. Cost of Sales and Inventories We carry inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of finished goods, work in process and raw materials is determined using average actual cost. We regularly review our inventories for impairment and reserves are established when necessary. I. Selling, Informational and Administrative Expenses Selling, informational and administrative costs are expensed as incurred. Among other things, these expenses include the internal and external costs of marketing, advertising, shipping and handling, information technology and legal defense. Advertising expenses totaled approximately $3.1 billion in 2017 , $3.2 billion in 2016 and $3.1 billion in 2015 . Production costs are expensed as incurred and the costs of radio time, television time and space in publications are expensed when the related advertising occurs. J. Research and Development Expenses R&D costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses include the costs of our proprietary R&D efforts, as well as costs incurred in connection with certain licensing arrangements. Before a compound receives regulatory approval, we record upfront and milestone payments made by us to third parties under licensing arrangements as expense. Upfront payments are recorded when incurred, and milestone payments are recorded when the specific milestone has been achieved. Once a compound receives regulatory approval, we record any milestone payments in Identifiable intangible assets, less accumulated amortization and, unless the asset is determined to have an indefinite life, we amortize the payments on a straight-line basis over the remaining agreement term or the expected product life cycle, whichever is shorter. R&D expenses related to upfront and milestone payments for intellectual property rights totaled $169 million in 2017 , $82 million in 2016 and $429 million in 2015 . For additional information, see Note 2C . K. Amortization of Intangible Assets, Depreciation and Certain Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets include: • Property, plant and equipment, less accumulated depreciation —These assets are recorded at cost and are increased by the cost of any significant improvements after purchase. Property, plant and equipment assets, other than land and construction in progress, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the individual assets. Depreciation begins when the asset is ready for its intended use. For tax purposes, accelerated depreciation methods are used as allowed by tax laws. • Identifiable intangible assets, less accumulated amortization —These acquired assets are recorded at fair value. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives that are associated with marketed products are not amortized until a useful life can be determined. Intangible assets associated with IPR&D projects are not amortized until approval is obtained in a major market, typically either the U.S. or the EU, or in a series of other countries, subject to certain specified conditions and management judgment. The useful life of an amortizing asset generally is determined by identifying the period in which substantially all of the cash flows are expected to be generated. • Goodwill —Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred for an acquired business over the assigned values of its net assets. Goodwill is not amortized. Amortization expense related to finite-lived acquired intangible assets that contribute to our ability to sell, manufacture, research, market and distribute products, compounds and intellectual property is included in Amortization of intangible assets as these intangible assets benefit multiple business functions. Amortization expense related to intangible assets that are associated with a single function and depreciation of property, plant and equipment are included in Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses and/or Research and development expenses, as appropriate. We review all of our long-lived assets for impairment indicators throughout the year. We perform impairment testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill at least annually and for all other long-lived assets whenever impairment indicators are present. When necessary, we record charges for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets. Specifically: • For finite-lived intangible assets, such as developed technology rights, and for other long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, whenever impairment indicators are present, we calculate the undiscounted value of the projected cash flows associated with the asset, or asset group, and compare this estimated amount to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount is found to be greater, we record an impairment loss for the excess of book value over fair value. In addition, in all cases of an impairment review, we re-evaluate the remaining useful lives of the assets and modify them, as appropriate. • For indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as Brands and IPR&D assets, when necessary, we determine the fair value of the asset and record an impairment loss, if any, for the excess of book value over fair value. In addition, in all cases of an impairment review other than for IPR&D assets, we re-evaluate whether continuing to characterize the asset as indefinite-lived is appropriate. • For goodwill, when necessary, we determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare that value to its book value. If the carrying amount is found to be greater, we then determine the implied fair value of goodwill by subtracting the fair value of all the identifiable net assets other than goodwill from the fair value of the reporting unit and record an impairment loss, if any, for the excess of the book value of goodwill over the implied fair value. Impairment reviews can involve a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. For information about the risks associated with estimates and assumptions, see Note 1C. L. Restructuring Charges and Certain Acquisition-Related Costs We may incur restructuring charges in connection with acquisitions when we implement plans to restructure and integrate the acquired operations or in connection with our cost-reduction and productivity initiatives. Included in Restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs are all restructuring charges, as well as certain other costs associated with acquiring and integrating an acquired business. If the restructuring action results in a change in the estimated useful life of an asset, that incremental impact is classified in Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses and/or Research and development expenses , as appropriate. Termination costs are generally recorded when the actions are probable and estimable. Transaction costs, such as banking, legal, accounting and other costs incurred in connection with a business acquisition are expensed as incurred . Amounts recorded for restructuring charges and other associated costs can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. For information about the risks associated with estimates and assumptions, see Note 1C. M. Cash Equivalents and Statement of Cash Flows Cash equivalents include items almost as liquid as cash, such as certificates of deposit and time deposits with maturity periods of three months or less when purchased. If items meeting this definition are part of a larger investment pool, we classify them as Short-term investments . Cash flows associated with financial instruments designated as fair value or cash flow hedges may be included in operating, investing or financing activities, depending on the classification of the items being hedged. Cash flows associated with financial instruments designated as net investment hedges are classified according to the nature of the hedge instrument. Cash flows associated with financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are classified according to their purpose and accounting nature. N. Investments and Derivative Financial Instruments Our investments are comprised of the following: trading funds and securities, available-for-sale securities, held-to-maturity securities (when we have both the positive intent and ability to hold the investment to maturity) and private equity securities. The classification of an investment can depend on the nature of the investment, our intent and ability to hold the investment, and the degree to which we may exercise influence. • Trading securities are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in Other (income)/deductions—net. • Available-for-sale debt and equity securities are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in Other comprehensive income/(loss) until realized. • Held-to-maturity debt securities are carried at amortized cost. • Private equity securities are carried at equity method or at cost method. For equity investments where we have significant influence over the financial and operating policies of the investee, we use the equity-method of accounting. Under the equity-method, we record our share of the investee’s income and expenses in Other (income)/deductions—net . The excess of the cost of the investment over our share of the equity of the investee as of the acquisition date is allocated to the identifiable assets of the investee, with any remaining excess amount allocated to goodwill. Such investments are initially recorded at cost, which typically does not include amounts of contingent consideration. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are determined by using the specific identification cost method. We regularly evaluate all of our financial assets for impairment. For investments in debt and equity securities, when a decline in fair value, if any, is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value in various balance sheet categories (see Note 7A ), with changes in fair value reported in Net income or, for derivative financial instruments in certain qualifying hedging relationships, in Other comprehensive income/(loss) (see Note 7F ). A single estimate of fair value and impairment reviews can involve a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. For information about the risks associated with estimates and assumptions, see Note 1C. O. Tax Assets and Liabilities and Income Tax Contingencies Current tax assets primarily includes (i) tax effects associated with intercompany transfers of assets within our consolidated group, which are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the asset transferred is sold to a third-party or recovered through amortization of the asset's remaining economic life; and (ii) income tax receivables that are expected to be recovered either as refunds from taxing authorities or as a reduction to future tax obligations.

Acquisitions, Sale of Hospira Infusion Systems Net Assets, Research and Development and Collaborative Arrangements, Equity-Method Investments and Cost-Method Investment | A. Acquisitions AstraZeneca’s Small Molecule Anti-Infectives Business (EH) On December 22, 2016, which falls in the first fiscal quarter of 2017 for our international operations, we acquired the development and commercialization rights to AstraZeneca’s small molecule anti-infectives business, primarily outside the U.S., including the commercialization and development rights to the newly approved EU drug Zavicefta™ (ceftazidime-avibactam), the marketed agents Merrem™/Meronem™ (meropenem) and Zinforo™ (ceftaroline fosamil), and the clinical development assets ATM-AVI and CXL (ceftaroline fosamil-AVI). Under the terms of the agreement, we made an upfront payment of approximately $552 million to AstraZeneca upon the close of the transaction and an additional $3 million payment for a contractual purchase price adjustment in the second quarter of 2017. We also made a $50 million milestone payment in the second quarter of 2017, we made an additional milestone payment of $125 million in our first fiscal quarter of 2018 and we will make a deferred payment of $175 million to AstraZeneca in January 2019. In addition, AstraZeneca may be eligible to receive an additional milestone payment of $75 million if the related milestone is achieved prior to December 31, 2021, and up to $600 million if sales of Zavicefta™ exceed certain thresholds prior to January 1, 2026, as well as tiered royalties on sales of Zavicefta™ and ATM-AVI in certain markets for a period ending on the later of 10 years from first commercial sale or the loss of patent protection or loss of regulatory exclusivity. The total royalty payments are unlimited during the royalty term and the undiscounted payments are expected to be in the range of approximately $250 million to $425 million . The total fair value of consideration transferred for AstraZeneca’s small molecule anti-infectives business was approximately $1,045 million , which includes $555 million in cash, plus the fair value of contingent consideration of $490 million (which is composed of the deferred payment, the $50 million milestone payment made in the second quarter of 2017, the $125 million milestone payment made in our first fiscal quarter of 2018 and the future expected milestone and royalty payments). In connection with this acquisition, we provisionally recorded $879 million in Identifiable intangible assets , primarily consisting of $660 million in Developed technology rights and $219 million in IPR&D . We also recorded $92 million in Other current assets related to the economic value of inventory which was retained by AstraZeneca for sale on our behalf, $92 million in Goodwill and $17 million of net deferred tax liabilities. The allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has not been finalized. Medivation, Inc. (IH) On September 28, 2016, we acquired Medivation for $81.50 per share. The total fair value of consideration transferred for Medivation was approximately $14.3 billion in cash ( $13.9 billion , net of cash acquired). Of this consideration, approximately $365 million was not paid as of December 31, 2016, and was recorded in Other current liabilities. The remaining consideration was paid as of December 31, 2017 . Medivation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pfizer. Medivation is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing small molecules for oncology. Medivation’s portfolio includes Xtandi (enzalutamide), an androgen receptor inhibitor that blocks multiple steps in the androgen receptor signaling pathway within tumor cells. Xtandi is being developed and commercialized through a collaboration with Astellas. Astellas has exclusive commercialization rights for Xtandi outside the U.S. In addition, Medivation has a development-stage oncology asset in its pipeline, talazoparib, which is currently in a Phase 3 study for the treatment of BRCA-mutated breast cancer. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded $12.2 billion in Identifiable intangible assets , primarily consisting of $8.1 billion of Developed technology rights with an average useful life of approximately 12 years and $4.1 billion of IPR&D, and recorded $6.1 billion of Goodwill, $4.0 billion of net income tax liabilities, and $259 million of assumed contingent consideration. In 2017 and 2016, we recorded measurement period adjustments to the estimated fair values initially recorded in 2016, which resulted in a reduction in Identifiable intangible assets of approximately $1.0 billion with a corresponding change to Goodwill and net income tax liabilities. The measurement period adjustments were recorded to better reflect market participant assumptions about facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date. The 2017 results include a decrease of approximately $38 million to Amortization of intangible assets which reflects the cumulative pre-tax impact of the measurement period adjustments to Identifiable intangible assets that were amortized to the income statement since the acquisition date. The measurement period adjustments did not result from intervening events subsequent to the acquisition date. The final allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has been completed. Bamboo Therapeutics, Inc. (IH) On August 1, 2016, we acquired all the remaining equity in Bamboo, a privately-held biotechnology company focused on developing gene therapies for the potential treatment of patients with certain rare diseases relating to neuromuscular conditions and those affecting the central nervous system, for $150 million , plus potential milestone payments of up to $495 million contingent upon the progression of key assets through development, regulatory approval and commercialization. The total fair value of the consideration transferred for Bamboo was approximately $343 million , including cash of $130 million ( $101 million , net of cash acquired), contingent consideration of $167 million , consisting of milestone payments, and the fair value of Pfizer’s previously held equity interest in Bamboo of $45 million . We previously purchased a minority stake in Bamboo in the first quarter of 2016 for a payment of approximately $43 million . Upon acquiring the remaining interest in Bamboo in the third quarter of 2016, we recognized a gain of $2 million on our existing investment in Other (income)/deductions––net over the one-year allocation period . This acquisition provides us with several clinical and pre-clinical assets that complement our rare disease portfolio, an advanced recombinant AAV vector design and production technology, and a fully functional Phase I/II gene therapy manufacturing facility. Bamboo is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pfizer. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded $330 million of Identifiable intangible assets, consisting entirely of IPR&D. We also recorded $142 million of Goodwill and $94 million of net deferred tax liabilities. The final allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has been completed. Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (IH) On June 24, 2016, we acquired Anacor for $99.25 per share. The total fair value of consideration transferred for Anacor was approximately $4.9 billion in cash ( $4.5 billion net of cash acquired), plus $698 million debt assumed. Anacor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pfizer. Anacor is a biopharmaceutical company focused on novel small-molecule therapeutics derived from its boron chemistry platform. Anacor’s crisaborole, a non-steroidal topical PDE-4 inhibitor with anti-inflammatory properties, was approved by the FDA on December 14, 2016 under the trade name, Eucrisa. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded $698 million as the fair value of notes payable in cash, and recorded $4.9 billion in Identifiable intangible assets , primarily consisting of $4.8 billion of IPR&D , and recorded $646 million of Goodwill and $346 million of net income tax liabilities. The final allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has been completed. Hospira, Inc. (EH) On September 3, 2015, we acquired Hospira, a leading provider of sterile injectable drugs and infusion technologies as well as a provider of biosimilars, for $90 per share in cash. The total fair value of consideration transferred for Hospira was approximately $16.1 billion in cash ( $15.7 billion , net of cash acquired). Hospira is a subsidiary of Pfizer and its commercial operations are included in the EH segment. Hospira’s principal business was the development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of generic acute-care and oncology injectables, biosimilars and integrated infusion therapy and medication management systems (see Note 2B below). Hospira’s broad portfolio of products is used by hospitals and alternate site providers, such as clinics, home healthcare providers and long-term care facilities. We believe our acquisition of Hospira has strengthened our EH business, as EH now has a broadened portfolio of generic and branded sterile injectables, marketed biosimilars and biosimilars in development. The following table summarizes the amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date: (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date Final Working capital, excluding inventories (a) $ 342 Inventories 1,901 PP&E 2,352 Identifiable intangible assets, excluding IPR&D (b) 8,290 IPR&D 1,030 Other noncurrent assets 362 Long-term debt (1,928 ) Benefit obligations (117 ) Net income tax accounts (c) (3,380 ) Other noncurrent liabilities (61 ) Total identifiable net assets 8,791 Goodwill 7,295 Net assets acquired/total consideration transferred $ 16,087 (a) Includes cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, other current assets, assets held for sale, accounts payable and other current liabilities. (b) Comprised of finite-lived developed technology rights with a weighted-average life of approximately 17 years ( $7.7 billion ) and other finite-lived identifiable intangible assets with a weighted-average life of approximately 12 years ( $570 million ). (c) Final amounts recognized as of the acquisition date, included in Current tax assets ( $57 million ), Noncurrent deferred tax assets and other noncurrent tax assets ( $58 million ), Income taxes payable ( $5 million ), Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities ( $3.4 billion ) and Other taxes payable ( $101 million , including accrued interest of $5 million ). As of the acquisition date, the fair value of accounts receivable approximated the book value acquired. The gross contractual amount receivable was $565 million , of which $12 million was not expected to be collected. In the ordinary course of business, Hospira incurred liabilities for environmental, legal and tax matters, as well as guarantees and indemnifications. These matters may include contingencies. Except as specifically excluded by the relevant accounting standard, contingencies are required to be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date if the acquisition-date fair value of the asset or liability arising from a contingency can be determined. If the acquisition-date fair value of the asset or liability cannot be determined, the asset or liability would be recognized at the acquisition date if both of the following criteria are met: (i) it is probable that an asset existed or that a liability had been incurred at the acquisition date, and (ii) the amount of the asset or liability can be reasonably estimated. • Environmental Matters —In the ordinary course of business, Hospira incurred liabilities for environmental matters such as remediation work, asset retirement obligations and environmental guarantees and indemnifications. The contingencies for environmental matters are not significant to Pfizer’s financial statements. • Legal Matters —Hospira is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability, patent, commercial, antitrust and environmental matters and government investigations, of a nature considered normal to its business. The contingencies arising from legal matters are not significant to Pfizer’s financial statements. • Tax Matters —In the ordinary course of business, Hospira incurred liabilities for income taxes . Income taxes are exceptions to both the recognition and fair value measurement principles associated with the accounting for business combinations. Reserves for income tax contingencies continue to be measured under the benefit recognition model as previously used by Hospira. Net liabilities for income taxes approximate $3.4 billion as of the acquisition date, which included $109 million for uncertain tax positions. The net tax liability included the recording of additional adjustments of approximately $3.2 billion for the tax impact of fair value adjustments and approximately $719 million for income tax matters that we intend to resolve in a manner different from what Hospira had planned or intended. For example, because we planned to repatriate certain overseas funds, we provided deferred taxes on Hospira’s unremitted earnings for which no taxes had been previously provided by Hospira as it was Hospira’s intention to indefinitely reinvest those earnings. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Specifically, the goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition of Hospira includes the following: • the expected specific synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of Hospira with the operations of Pfizer; • any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, as well as future, as yet unidentified projects and products; and • the value of the going-concern element of Hospira’s existing businesses (the higher rate of return on the assembled collection of net assets versus if Pfizer had acquired all of the net assets separately). Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes. All of the goodwill related to the acquisition of Hospira is related to our EH segment (see Note 10 for additional information). Actual and Pro Forma Impact of Acquisition —The following table presents information for Hospira’s operations that are included in Pfizer’s consolidated statements of income beginning from the acquisition date, September 3, 2015 through Pfizer’s domestic and international year-ends in 2015 (see Note 1A ): (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) December 31, 2015 Revenues $ 1,513 Net loss attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders (a) (575 ) (a) Includes purchase accounting charges related to the provisional estimated fair values recognized as of the acquisition date for (i) the fair value adjustment for acquisition-date inventory that has been sold ( $378 million pre-tax); (ii) amortization expense related to the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired from Hospira ( $161 million pre-tax); (iii) depreciation expense related to the fair value adjustment of fixed assets acquired from Hospira ( $34 million pre-tax ); and (iv) amortization expense related to the fair value adjustment of long-term debt acquired from Hospira ( $13 million income pre-tax), as well as restructuring and integration costs ( $556 million pre-tax). The following table provides supplemental pro forma information as if the acquisition of Hospira had occurred on January 1, 2014: Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Consolidated Results (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, EXCEPT PER COMMON SHARE DATA) Year Ended December 31, 2015 Revenues $ 52,082 Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders 7,669 Diluted EPS attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders 1.23 The unaudited supplemental pro forma consolidated results were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and do not purport to reflect what the combined company’s results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2014, nor do they project the future results of operations of the combined company or reflect the expected realization of any cost savings associated with the acquisition. The actual results of operations of the combined company may differ significantly from the pro forma adjustments reflected here due to many factors. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information includes various assumptions, including those related to the purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed from Hospira. The unaudited supplemental pro forma consolidated results reflect the historical financial information of Pfizer and Hospira, adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of Hospira as if it had occurred on January 1, 2014, primarily for the following pre-tax adjustments in 2015: • Elimination of Hospira’s historical intangible asset amortization expense (approximately $33 million ). • Additional amortization expense (approximately $342 million ) related to the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired. • Additional depreciation expense (approximately $52 million ) related to the fair value adjustment to PP&E acquired. • Adjustment related to the non-recurring fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventory estimated to have been sold (the elimination of $364 million of charges). • Adjustment to decrease interest expense (approximately $18 million ) related to the fair value adjustment of Hospira debt. • Adjustment for non-recurring acquisition-related costs directly attributable to the acquisition (the elimination of $877 million of charges), reflecting non-recurring charges incurred by both Hospira and Pfizer which would have been recorded in 2014 under the pro forma assumption that the Hospira acquisition was completed on January 1, 2014. The above adjustments were adjusted for the applicable tax impact. The taxes associated with the adjustments related to the fair value adjustment for acquired intangible assets, PP&E, inventory and debt reflect the statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions where the adjustments are expected to be incurred. The taxes associated with elimination of Hospira’s historical intangible asset amortization expense and the adjustment for the acquisition-related costs directly attributable to the acquisition were based on the tax rate in the jurisdiction in which the related deductible costs were incurred. Marketed Vaccines Business of Baxter International Inc. (IH) On December 1, 2014 (which fell in the first fiscal quarter of 2015 for our international operations), we acquired Baxter ’ s portfolio of marketed vaccines for a final purchase price of $648 million . The portfolio that was acquired consists of NeisVac-C and FSME-IMMUN/TicoVac. NeisVac-C is a vaccine that helps protect against meningitis caused by group C meningococcal meningitis and FSME-IMMUN/TicoVac is a vaccine that helps protect against tick-borne encephalitis. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded $376 million in Identifiable intangible assets, primarily consisting of $371 million in Developed technology rights. We also recorded $194 million of Inventories and $12 million in Goodwill . The final allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has been completed. B. Sale of Hospira Infusion Systems Net Assets to ICU Medical, Inc. (EH) On October 6, 2016, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement under which ICU Medical agreed to acquire all of our global infusion systems net assets, HIS, for approximately $1 billion in cash and ICU Medical common stock. HIS includes IV pumps, solutions, and devices. As a result of the performance of HIS relative to ICU Medical’s expectations, on January 5, 2017 we entered into a revised agreement with ICU Medical under which ICU Medical would acquire HIS for up to approximately $900 million , composed of cash and contingent cash consideration, ICU Medical common stock and seller financing. The revised transaction closed on February 3, 2017. At closing, under the terms of the revised agreement, we received 3.2 million newly issued shares of ICU Medical common stock (as originally agreed), which we initially valued at approximately $428 million (based upon the closing price of ICU Medical common stock on the closing date less a discount for lack of marketability) and which are reported as available-for-sale equity securities at fair value in Long-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, a promissory note in the amount of $75 million , which was repaid in full as of December 31, 2017, and net cash of approximately $200 million before customary adjustments for net working capital, which is reported in Other investing activities, net on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year-ended December 31, 2017. In addition, we are entitled to receive a contingent amount of up to an additional $225 million in cash based on ICU Medical’s achievement of certain cumulative performance targets for the combined company through December 31, 2019. After receipt of ICU Medical shares, we own approximately 16% of ICU Medical. We have agreed to certain restrictions on transfer of our ICU Medical shares for 18 months after the closing date. We recognized pre-tax losses of approximately $55 million in 2017 in Other (income)/deductions––net, representing adjustments to amounts previously recorded in 2016 to write down the HIS net assets to fair value less costs to sell. For additional information, see Note 4 . While we have received the full purchase price excluding the contingent amount as of the February 3, 2017 closing, the sale of the HIS net assets was not completed in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions due to temporary regulatory or operational constraints. In these jurisdictions, which represent a relatively small portion of the HIS net assets, we have continued to operate the net assets for the net economic benefit of ICU Medical, and we are indemnified by ICU Medical against risks associated with such operations during the interim period, subject to our obligations under the definitive transaction agreements. Sales of the HIS net assets have occurred in certain of these jurisdictions as of December 31, 2017 and we expect the sale of the HIS net assets in the remaining jurisdictions to be fully completed by the first quarter of 2018. As such, and as we have already received all of the non-contingent proceeds from the sale and ICU Medical is contractually obligated to complete the transaction, we have treated these jurisdictions as sold for accounting purposes. In connection with the sale transaction, we entered into certain transitional agreements designed to facilitate the orderly transition of the HIS net assets to ICU Medical. These agreements primarily relate to administrative services, which are generally to be provided for a period of up to 24 months after the closing date. We will also manufacture and supply certain HIS products for ICU Medical and ICU Medical will manufacture and supply certain retained Pfizer products for us after closing, generally for a term of five years. These agreements are not material to Pfizer and none confers upon us the ability to influence the operating and/or financial policies of ICU Medical subsequent to the sale. At December 31, 2016 , we determined that the carrying value of the HIS net assets held for sale exceeded their fair value less estimated costs to sell, resulting in a pre-tax impairment charge of $1.7 billion , which is included in Other (income)/deductions––net (see Note 4 ). The decline in value resulted from lower expectations as to future cash flows to be generated by HIS, primarily as a result of an increase in competition for customer contracts and pricing factors that were not initially anticipated. Assets and liabilities associated with HIS are presented as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 . The HIS assets held for sale are reported in Assets held for sale and HIS liabilities held for sale are reported in Other current liabilities . The amounts associated with HIS, as well as other assets classified as held for sale consisted of the following: As of December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 Assets Held for Sale Inventories $ — $ 377 PP&E — 457 Identifiable intangible assets — 1,319 Goodwill — 119 Other assets — 152 Less: adjustment to HIS assets for net realizable value (a) — (1,681 ) Total HIS assets held for sale — 743 Other assets held for sale (b) 12 58 Assets held for sale $ 12 $ 801 Liabilities Held for Sale Accrued compensation and related items $ — $ 54 Other liabilities — 103 Total HIS liabilities held for sale $ — $ 157 (a) For 2016 , we recorded an adjustment to HIS assets for net realizable value of $1,681 million plus estimated costs to sell of $31 million for a total impairment on HIS net assets of $1,712 million . (b) Other assets held for sale consist primarily of PP&E and other assets. C. Research and Development and Collaborative Arrangements Research and Development Arrangement with NovaQuest Co-Investment Fund II, L.P. On November 1, 2016, we announced the discontinuation of the global clinical development program for bococizumab. During December 2016, $31.3 million was refunded to NovaQuest representing amounts NovaQuest prepaid for development costs (under the May 2016 agreement described below) that were not used for program expenses due to the discontinuation of the development program. No additional payments have been or are expected to be received from or paid to NovaQuest under this agreement, which was effectively terminated on November 18, 2016. In May 2016, our agreement with NovaQuest became effective, under which NovaQuest agreed to fund up to $250 million in development costs related to certain Phase III clinical trials of Pfizer’s bococizumab compound and Pfizer agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and obtain regulatory approvals for such compound. NovaQuest’s development funding was expected to cover up to 40% of the development costs and was to be received over five quarters during 2016 and 2017. As there was a substantive and genuine transfer of risk to NovaQuest, the development funding applicable to program expenses during 2016 was recognized as an obligation to perform contractual services and therefore has been recognized as a reduction of Research and development expenses as incurred. The reduction to Research and development expenses for 2016 totaled $180.3 million . Research and Development Arrangement with NovaQuest Co-Investment Fund V, L.P. In April 2016, Pfizer entered into an agreement with NovaQuest under which NovaQuest will fund up to $200 million in development costs related to certain Phase III clinical trials of Pfizer’s rivipansel compound and Pfizer will use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and obtain regulatory approvals for such compound. NovaQuest’s development funding is expected to cover up to 100% of the development costs and will be received over approximately 12 quarters from 2016 to 2019. As there is a substantive and genuine transfer of risk to NovaQuest, the development funding is recognized by us as an obligation to perform contractual services and therefore is a reduction of Research and development expenses as incurred. The reduction to Research and development expenses totaled $72.1 million for 2017 and $46.6 million for 2016. Following potential regulatory approval, NovaQuest will be eligible to receive a combination of fixed milestone payments of up to approximately $267 million in total, based on achievement of first commercial sale and certain levels of cumulative net sales as well as royalties on rivipansel net sales over approximately eight years. Fixed sales-based milestone payments will be recorded as intangible assets and amortized to Amortization of intangible assets over the estimated commercial life of the rivipansel product and royalties on net sales will be recorded as Cost of sales when incurred. Research and Development Arrangement with RPI Finance Trust In January 2016, Pfizer entered into an agreement with RPI, a subsidiary of Royalty Pharma, under which RPI will fund up to $300 million in development costs related to certain Phase III clinical trials of Pfizer’s Ibrance (palbociclib) product primarily for adjuvant treatment of hormone receptor positive early breast cancer (the Indication). RPI’s development funding is expected to cover up to 100% of the costs primarily for the applicable clinical trials through 2021. As there is a substantive and genuine transfer of risk to RPI, the development funding is recognized by us as an obligation to perform contractual services and therefore is a reduction of Research and development expenses as incurred. The reduction to Research and development expenses totaled $75.6 million for 2017 and $44.9 million for 2016. If successful and upon approval of Ibrance in the U.S. or certain major markets in the EU for the Indication based on the applicable clinical trials, RPI will be eligible to receive a combination of approval-based fixed milestone payments of up to $250 million dependent upon results of the clinical trials and royalties on certain Ibrance sales over approximately seven years. Fixed milestone payments due upon approval will be recorded as intangible assets and amortized to Amortization of intangible assets over the estimated commercial life of the Ibrance product and sales-based royalties will be recorded as Cost of sales when incurred. Collaborative Arrangements In the normal course of business, we enter into collaborative arrangements with respect to in-line medicines, as well as medicines in development that require completion of research and regulatory approval. Collaborative arrangements are contractual agreements with third parties that involve a joint operating activity, typically a research and/or commercialization effort, where both we and our partner are active participants in the activity and are exposed to the significant risks and rewards of the activity. Our rights and obligations under our collaborative arrangements vary. For example, we have agreements to co-promote pharmaceutical products discovered by us or other companies, and we have agreements where we partner to co-develop and/or participate together in commercializing, marketing, promoting, manufacturing and/or distributing a drug product. The following table provides the amounts and classification of payments (income/(expense)) between us and our collaboration partners: Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 Revenues —Revenues (a) $ 606 $ 659 $ 644 Revenue s—Alliance revenues (b) 2,927 1,746 1,312 Total revenues from collaborative arrangements 3,533 2,405 1,956 Cost of sales (c) (329 ) (315 ) (282 ) Selling, informational and administrative expenses (d) (54 ) (5 ) (287 ) Research and development expenses (e) 222 64 (330 ) Other income/(deductions)—net (f) 249 542 482 (a) Represents sales to our partners of products manufactured by us. (b) Substantially all relates to amounts earned from our partners under co-promotion agreements. The increase in 2017 reflects an increase in alliance revenues from Eliquis and Xtandi. The increase in 2016 reflects an increase in alliance revenues from Eliquis and the inclusion of Xtandi revenues resulting from the acquisition of Medivation in September 2016, partially offset by the expiration of the Rebif co-promotion collaboration at the end of 2015. (c) Primarily relates to royalties earned by our partners and cost of sales associated with inventory purchased from our partners. (d) Represents net reimbursements to our partners for selling, informational and administrative expenses incurred. (e) Primarily relates to upfront payments and pre-approval milestone payments earned by our partners as well as net reimbursements. The upfront and milestone payments were as follows: $15 million in 2017 , $15 million in 2016 and $310 million in 2015 (primarily related to our collaboration with OPKO, see below). 2017 and 2016 also include reimbursements related to our collaboration with Lilly (see below) of $147 million and $120 million , respectively. (f) Primarily relates to royalties from our collaboration partners. The decrease in 2017 is due to the October 31, 2016 expiration of our 36 month royalty arrangement on sales of Enbrel in the U.S. and Canada, partially offset by a full year |

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives | Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives We incur significant costs in connection with acquiring, integrating and restructuring businesses and in connection with our global cost-reduction/productivity initiatives. For example: • In connection with acquisition activity, we typically incur costs associated with executing the transactions, integrating the acquired operations (which may include expenditures for consulting and the integration of systems and processes), and restructuring the combined company (which may include charges related to employees, assets and activities that will not continue in the combined company); and • In connection with our cost-reduction/productivity initiatives, we typically incur costs and charges associated with site closings and other facility rationalization actions, workforce reductions and the expansion of shared services, including the development of global systems. All of our businesses and functions may be impacted by these actions, including sales and marketing, manufacturing and R&D, as well as groups such as information technology, shared services and corporate operations. In connection with our acquisition of Hospira, we are focusing our efforts on achieving an appropriate cost structure for the combined company. We expect to incur costs of approximately $1 billion (not including costs of $215 million in 2015 associated with the return of acquired IPR&D rights as described in the Current-Period Key Activities section below) associated with the integration of Hospira. The majority of these costs are expected to be incurred for the three-year period post-acquisition. In 2016, we substantially completed previously disclosed cost-reduction initiatives begun in 2014 associated with our global commercial structure reorganization, manufacturing plant network rationalization and optimization initiatives, and additional cost-reduction/productivity initiatives across the enterprise. As a result of the evaluation performed in connection with our decision in September 2016 to not pursue, at that time, splitting IH and EH into two separate publicly-traded companies, we identified new opportunities to potentially achieve greater optimization and efficiency to become more competitive in our business. Therefore, in early 2017 , we initiated new enterprise-wide cost reduction/productivity initiatives, which we expect to substantially complete by the end of 2019. These initiatives will encompass all areas of our cost base and will include: • Optimization of our manufacturing plant network to support IH and EH products and pipelines. During 2017-2019, we expect to incur costs of approximately $800 million related to this initiative. Through December 31, 2017 , we incurred approximately $197 million associated with this initiative. • Activities in non-manufacturing related areas, which include further centralization of our corporate and platform functions, as well as other activities where opportunities are identified. During 2017-2019, we expect to incur costs of approximately $300 million related to this initiative. Through December 31, 2017 , we incurred approximately $151 million associated with this initiative. The costs expected to be incurred during 2017-2019, of approximately $1.1 billion for the above-mentioned programs (but not including expected costs associated with the Hospira integration), include restructuring charges, implementation costs and additional depreciation––asset restructuring. Of this amount, we expect that about 20% of the total charges will be non-cash. Current-Period Key Activities In 2017 , we incurred costs of $348 million associated with the 2017-2019 program, $319 million associated with the integration of Hospira and $137 million associated with all other acquisition-related initiatives. The following table provides the components of costs associated with acquisitions and cost-reduction/productivity initiatives: Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 Restructuring charges (a) : Employee terminations $ (34 ) $ 940 $ 489 Asset impairments (b) 190 142 254 Exit costs 21 74 68 Total restructuring charges 178 1,156 811 Transaction costs (c) 4 127 123 Integration costs (d) 305 441 219 Restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs 487 1,724 1,152 Additional depreciation––asset restructuring recorded in our consolidated statements of income as follows (e) : Cost of sales 91 201 117 Selling, informational and administrative expenses — — — Research and development expenses — 7 5 Total additional depreciation––asset restructuring 91 207 122 Implementation costs recorded in our consolidated statements of income as follows (f) : Cost of sales 118 230 102 Selling, informational and administrative expenses 71 81 82 Research and development expenses 38 25 14 Other (income)/deductions––net — 3 5 Total implementation costs 227 340 203 Total costs associated with acquisitions and cost-reduction/productivity initiatives $ 805 $ 2,271 $ 1,478 (a) In 2017 , restructuring charges are primarily associated with our acquisitions of Hospira and Medivation, as well as cost-reduction and productivity initiatives not associated with acquisitions. In 2016 , restructuring charges are largely associated with cost-reduction and productivity initiatives not associated with acquisitions, as well as our acquisitions of Hospira and Medivation. In 2015, restructuring charges are largely associated with.cost-reduction and productivity initiatives not associated with acquisitions. In 2017 , Employee terminations primarily include revisions of our estimates of severance benefits. Employee termination costs are generally recorded when the actions are probable and estimable and include accrued severance benefits, pension and postretirement benefits, many of which may be paid out during periods after termination. The restructuring activities in 2017 are associated with the following: • IH ( $64 million income); EH ( $4 million income); WRD/GPD ( $80 million ); manufacturing operations ( $115 million ); and Corporate ( $51 million ). The restructuring activities in 2016 are associated with the following: • IH ( $272 million ); EH ( $158 million ); WRD/GPD ( $169 million ); manufacturing operations ( $368 million ); and Corporate ( $189 million ), The restructuring activities in 2015 , which include a $39 million charge related to a 36% reduction in our labor force in Venezuela, are associated with the following: • IH ( $85 million ); EH ( $402 million ); WRD/GPD ( $80 million ); manufacturing operations ( $80 million ); and Corporate ( $164 million ). In September 2015, in order to eliminate certain redundancies in Pfizer’s biosimilar drug products pipeline created as a result of the acquisition of Hospira, Pfizer opted to return rights to Celltrion that Hospira had previously acquired to potential biosimilars to Rituxan® (rituximab) and Herceptin® (trastuzumab). As such, upon return of the acquired rights, in 2015, we incurred charges of $215 million , which are comprised of (i) a write-off of the applicable IPR&D assets, totaling $170 million , which is included in Asset impairments ; (ii) a write-off of amounts prepaid to Celltrion in the amount of $25 million , which is included in Asset impairments ; and (iii) a payment to Celltrion of $20 million , which is included in Exit costs . (b) The asset impairment charges for 2017 are largely associated with our acquisitions of Hospira and Medivation. The asset impairment charges included in restructuring charges for 2017 and 2016 are primarily associated with abandoned assets. The asset impairment charges for 2015 are primarily associated with our acquisition of Hospira. See (a) above for additional information. (c) Transaction costs represent external costs for banking, legal, accounting and other similar services, which in 2017 are directly related to our acquisitions of Hospira, Anacor and Medivation. Transaction costs in 2016 are mostly related to our acquisitions of Medivation and Anacor, and the terminated transaction with Allergan. Transaction costs in 2015 represent external costs directly related to the acquisition of Hospira and the terminated transaction with Allergan and primarily include expenditures for banking, legal, accounting and other similar services. (d) I ntegration costs represent external, incremental costs directly related to integrating acquired businesses, and primarily include expenditures for consulting and the integration of systems and processes. In 2017 , integration costs primarily relate to our acquisitions of Hospira and Medivation, as well as a net gain of $12 million related to the settlement of the Hospira U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan (see Note 11 ). In 2016, integration costs primarily relate to our acquisition of Hospira and the terminated transaction with Allergan. Integration costs in 2015 represent external incremental costs directly related to our acquisition of Hospira. (e) Additional depreciation––asset restructuring represents the impact of changes in the estimated useful lives of assets involved in restructuring actions. (f) Implementation costs represent external, incremental costs directly related to implementing our non-acquisition-related cost-reduction/productivity initiatives. The following table provides the components of and changes in our restructuring accruals: (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) Employee Termination Costs Asset Impairment Charges Exit Costs Accrual Balance, January 1, 2016 $ 1,109 $ — $ 48 $ 1,157 Provision 940 142 74 1,156 Utilization and other (a) (502 ) (142 ) (86 ) (730 ) Balance, December 31, 2016 (b) 1,547 — 36 1,583 Provision (34 ) 190 21 178 Utilization and other (a) (474 ) (190 ) 9 (656 ) Balance, December 31, 2017 (c) $ 1,039 $ — $ 66 $ 1,105 (a) Includes adjustments for foreign currency translation.

Other Income and Expenses [Abstract] | |
Other (Income)/Deductions - Net | The following table provides components of Other (income)/deductions––net : Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 Interest income (a) $ (391 ) $ (470 ) $ (471 ) Interest expense (a) 1,270 1,186 1,199 Net interest expense 879 716 728 Foreign currency loss related to Venezuela (b) — — 806 Royalty-related income (c) (499 ) (905 ) (922 ) Certain legal matters, net (d) 240 510 975 Net gains on asset disposals (e) (343 ) (171 ) (232 ) Loss on sale and impairment on remeasurement of HIS net assets (f) 55 1,712 — Certain asset impairments (g) 395 1,447 818 Business and legal entity alignment costs (h) 71 261 282 Net losses on early retirement of debt (i) 999 312 — Other, net (j) (482 ) (227 ) 403 Other (income)/deductions––net $ 1,315 $ 3,655 $ 2,860 (a) 2017 v. 2016 ––Interest income decreased primarily driven by a lower investment balance. Interest expense increased, primarily as a result of higher short-term interest rates, offset, in part, by the retirement of high-coupon debt and the issuance of new low-coupon debt. Capitalized interest expense totaled $72 million 2017 , $ 61 million in 2016 and $ 32 million in 2015 . (b) In 2015, represents a foreign currency loss related to conditions in Venezuela during 2015, that had us resolve that our Venezuelan bolivar-denominated net monetary assets that are subject to revaluation were no longer expected to be settled at the Venezuelan government CENCOEX official rate of 6.3 , but rather at the then SIMADI rate of 200 , the lowest official rate. Those conditions included the inability to obtain significant conversions of Venezuelan bolivars related to intercompany U.S. dollar denominated accounts, an evaluation of the effects of the implementation of a fourth-quarter 2015 operational restructuring, resulting in a 36% reduction in our labor force in Venezuela, and our expectation of the changes in Venezuela’s responses to changes in its economy. (c) Royalty-related income decreased in 2017 and 2016 , primarily due to lower royalty income for Enbrel of $470 million in 2017 , compared to 2016, and $54 million in 2016 , compared to 2015, resulting from the expiration on October 31, 2016 of the 36-month royalty period under the collaboration agreement for Enbrel in the U.S. and Canada (the collaboration period under the agreement expired on October 31, 2013), partially offset by increases in Xtandi royalty-related income of $176 million in 2017 , compared to 2016, and $63 million in 2016 , compared to 2015. (d) In 2017 , primarily includes a $94 million charge to resolve a class action lawsuit filed by direct purchasers relating to Celebrex, which is subject to court approval (for additional information, see Note 17A2 ), and a $79 million charge to reflect damages awarded by a jury in a patent matter. In 2016 , primarily includes amounts to resolve a Multi-District Litigation relating to Celebrex and Bextra pending against the Company in New York federal court for $486 million , partially offset by the reversal of a legal accrual where a loss was no longer deemed probable. In addition, 2016 includes a settlement related to a patent matter. In 2015, primarily includes $784.6 million related to an agreement in principle reached in February 2016 and finalized in April 2016 to resolve claims alleging that Wyeth's practices relating to the calculation of Medicaid rebates for its drug, Protonix (pantoprazole sodium), between 2001 and 2006, several years before Pfizer acquired Wyeth in 2009, violated the Federal Civil False Claims Act and other laws. (e) In 2017 , primarily includes (i) gross realized gains on sales of available-for-sale debt securities of $451 million ; (ii) gross realized losses on sales of available-for-sale debt securities of $281 million ; (iii) gross realized gains on sales of available-for-sale equity securities of $75 million ; (iv) a net loss of $120 million from derivative financial instruments used to hedge the foreign exchange component of the matured available-for-sale debt securities; (v) gains on sales/out-licensing of product and compound rights of $187 million ; (vi) gains on sales of investments in private equity securities of $80 million ; (vii) a gain on sale of property of $52 million ; (viii) a net loss of $30 million related to the sale of our 40% ownership investment in Teuto, including the extinguishment of a put option for the remaining 60% ownership interest; and (ix) a loss of $81 million related to the sale of our 49% equity share in Hisun Pfizer. Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $5.1 billion in 2017. In 2016, primarily includes (i) gross realized gains on sales of available-for-sale debt securities of $666 million ; (ii) gross realized losses on sales of available-for-sale debt securities of $548 million ; (iii) a net loss of $64 million from derivative financial instruments used to hedge the foreign exchange component of the matured available-for-sale debt securities; (iv) gains on sales/out-licensing of product and compound rights of $84 million ; and (v) gains on sales of investments in private equity securities of $2 million . Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $10.2 billion in 2016. In 2015, primarily includes (i) gross realized gains on sales of available-for-sale equity securities of $164 million ; (ii) gross realized losses on sales of available-for-sale debt securities of $960 million ; (iii) net gain of $937 million from derivative financial instruments used to hedge the foreign exchange component of the divested available-for-sale debt securities; (iv) gains on sales/out-licensing of product and compound rights of $90 million ; and (v) gains on sales of investments in private equity securities of $3 million . Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $4.3 billion in 2015. (f) In 2017, represents adjustments to amounts previously recorded to write down the HIS net assets to fair value less costs to sell related to the sale of HIS net assets to ICU Medical. In 2016, represents a charge related to the write-down of the HIS net assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell. See Note 2B for additional information . (g) In 2017 , primarily includes intangible asset impairment charges of $337 million , reflecting (i) $127 million related to developed technology rights, acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hospira, for a generic sterile injectable product for the treatment of edema associated with certain conditions; (ii) $124 million related to developed technology rights, acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hospira, for a sterile injectable pain reliever; (iii) $39 million related to developed technology rights, acquired in connection with our acquisition of NextWave, for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; (iv) $26 million related to developed technology rights, acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hospira, for a generic injectable antibiotic product for the treatment of bacterial infections; and (v) $20 million related to other developed technology rights. The intangible asset impairment charges for 2017 are associated with EH and reflect, among other things, updated commercial forecasts and an increased competitive environment. In addition, 2017 includes a loss of $43 million for an impairment of our AM-Pharma B.V. long-term investment (see Note 2E ). In 2016, primarily includes intangible asset impairment charges of $869 million , reflecting (i) $366 million related to developed technology rights for a generic injectable antibiotic product for the treatment of bacterial infections; and (ii) $265 million related to an IPR&D compound for the treatment of anemia, both acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hospira; (iii) $128 million of sterile injectable IPR&D compounds acquired in connection with our acquisition of InnoPharma; and (iv) $110 million of other IPR&D assets, $81 million of which were acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hospira and $29 million of which were acquired in connection with our acquisition of King in 2011. The intangible asset impairment charges for 2016 are associated with the following: EH ( $840 million ) and IH ( $29 million ). In addition, 2016 includes an impairment loss of $452 million related to Pfizer’s then 49% -owned equity-method investment with Hisun in China, Hisun Pfizer, and an impairment loss of $50 million related to Pfizer's 40% -owned equity-method investment in Teuto. For additional information concerning Hisun Pfizer and Teuto, see Note 2D. The intangible asset impairment charge for 2016 for the IPR&D compound for the treatment of anemia acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hospira reflects, among other things, the impact of regulatory delays, including delays resulting from a then recent court ruling, requiring a 180-day waiting period after approval before a biosimilar product can be launched. The intangible asset impairment charges for 2016 for the sterile injectable IPR&D compounds acquired in connection with our acquisition of InnoPharma reflect, among other things, the impact of portfolio prioritization decisions and decreased commercial profiles of certain compounds. The intangible asset impairment charges for 2016 for developed technology rights and other IPR&D assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hospira reflect, among other things, the impact of regulatory delays, the impact of new scientific findings, updated commercial forecasts, changes in pricing, and an increased competitive environment. The intangible asset impairment charges for 2016 for other IPR&D assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of King reflect changes in the competitive environment. In 2015, primarily includes an impairment loss of $463 million related to Pfizer’s then 49% -owned equity-method investment in Hisun Pfizer (for additional information concerning Hisun Pfizer, see Note 2D ) and intangible asset impairment charges of $323 million , reflecting (i) $132 million related to indefinite-lived brands; (ii) $120 million related to developed technology rights for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; and (iii) $71 million related to IPR&D compounds. The intangible asset impairment charges for 2015 are associated with the following: EH ( $294 million ), WRD ( $13 million ); and Consumer Healthcare ( $17 million ). The intangible asset impairment charges for 2015 reflect, among other things, the impact of new scientific findings, updated commercial forecasts, changes in pricing, and an increased competitive environment. (h) Represents expenses for changes to our infrastructure to align our commercial operations, including costs to internally separate our businesses into distinct legal entities, as well as to streamline our intercompany supply operations to better support each business. (i) In 2017 and 2016, represents net losses due to the early retirement of debt, inclusive of the related termination of cross currency swaps in 2017 and inclusive of the related termination of interest rate swaps in 2016. (j) In 2017, includes, among other things, dividend income of $266 million from our investment in ViiV, and income of $62 million from resolution of a contract disagreement. In 2016, includes among other things, $150 million paid to Allergan for reimbursement of Allergan’s expenses associated with the terminated transaction (see Note 1A ); and income of $116 million from resolution of a contract disagreement. In 2015, includes, among other things, (i) charges of $194 million related to the write-down of assets to net realizable value; (ii) charges of $159 million , reflecting the change in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; and (iii) income of $45 million associated with equity-method investees. The asset impairment charges included in Other (income)/deductions––net are based on estimates of fair value. The following table provides additional information about the intangible assets that were impaired during 2017 in Other (income)/deductions––net : Year Ended December 31, Fair Value (a) 2017 (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) Amount Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Impairment Intangible assets –– Developed technology rights (b) 50 — — 50 337 Total $ 50 $ — $ — $ 50 $ 337 (a) The fair value amount is presented as of the date of impairment, as these assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. See also Note 1E. (b) Reflects intangible assets written down to fair value in 2017 . Fair value was determined using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method, also known as the discounted cash flow method. We started with a forecast of all the expected net cash flows associated with the asset and then applied an asset-specific discount rate to arrive at a net present value amount. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include: the amount and timing of the projected net cash flows, which includes the expected impact of competitive, legal and/or regulatory forces on the product; the discount rate, which seeks to reflect the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows; and the tax rate, which seeks to incorporate the geographic diversity of the projected cash flows. |

Tax Matters | Tax Matters A. Taxes on Income from Continuing Operations The following table provides the components of Income from continuing operations before provision/(benefit) for taxes on income : Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 United States $ (6,879 ) $ (8,534 ) $ (6,809 ) International 19,184 16,886 15,773 Income from continuing operations before provision/(benefit) for taxes on income ( a), (b) $ 12,305 $ 8,351 $ 8,965 (a) 2017 v. 2016 –– The decrease in the domestic loss was primarily due to lower restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs, the non-recurrence of the 2016 impairment on the remeasurement of HIS net assets, lower certain asset impairments and lower certain legal matters, partially offset by higher net losses on early retirement of debt, and higher amortization of intangible assets. The increase in international income was primarily due to the non-recurrence of the 2016 impairment on the remeasurement of HIS net assets, lower restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs, and lower certain asset impairments. (b) 2016 v. 2015 –– The increase in the domestic loss was primarily due to a charge related to the write-down of HIS net assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell, higher asset impairments, and higher restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs, partially offset by the inclusion of a full year of legacy U.S. Hospira operations as compared to four months of U.S. operations in 2015, and lower charges for legal matters. The increase in international income is primarily due to the non-recurrence of a foreign currency loss related to Venezuela partially offset by a charge related to the write-down of HIS net assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell, and higher restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs. The following table provides the components of Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income based on the location of the taxing authorities: Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 United States Current income taxes: Federal $ 14,127 $ 342 $ 67 State and local 320 (52 ) (8 ) Deferred income taxes: Federal (25,964 ) (419 ) 300 State and local (268 ) (106 ) (36 ) Total U.S. tax provision (11,785 ) (235 ) 323 International Current income taxes 2,709 1,532 1,951 Deferred income taxes 28 (175 ) (284 ) Total international tax provision 2,737 1,358 1,667 Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income $ (9,049 ) $ 1,123 $ 1,990 In the fourth quarter of 2017, we recorded an estimate of certain tax effects of the TCJA, including the impact on deferred tax assets and liabilities from the reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% , the impact on valuation allowances and other state income tax considerations, the $15.2 billion repatriation tax liability on accumulated post-1986 foreign earnings for which we plan to elect payment over eight years through 2026 (with the first of eight installments due in April 2019) that is reported in Other taxes payable , and deferred taxes on basis differences expected to give rise to future taxes on global intangible low-taxed income. In addition, we had provided deferred tax liabilities in the past on foreign earnings that were not indefinitely reinvested. As a result of the TCJA, we reversed an estimate of the deferred taxes that are no longer expected to be needed due to the change to the territorial tax system. The estimated amounts recorded may change in the future due to uncertain tax positions. With respect to the aforementioned repatriation tax liability related to the TCJA repatriation tax, our obligations may vary as a result of changes in our uncertain tax positions and/or availability of attributes such as foreign tax and other credit carryforwards. The TCJA subjects a U.S. shareholder to current tax on global intangible low-taxed income earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income , states that we are permitted to make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as global intangible low-taxed income in future years or provide for the tax expense related to such income in the year the tax is incurred. We have elected to recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences expected to reverse as global intangible low-taxed income in future years. However, given the complexity of these provisions, we have not finalized our analysis. We were able to make a reasonable estimate of the deferred taxes on the temporary differences expected to reverse in the future and provided a provisional deferred tax liability of approximately $1 billion as of December 31, 2017. The provisional amount is based on the evaluation of certain temporary differences inside each of our foreign subsidiaries that are expected to reverse as global intangible low-taxed income. However, as we continue to evaluate the TCJA’s global intangible low-taxed income provisions during the measurement period, we may revise the methodology used for determining the deferred tax liability associated with such income. We believe that we have made reasonable estimates with respect to each of the above items, however, all of the amounts recorded are provisional as we have not completed our analysis of the complex and far reaching effects of the TCJA. Further, we continue to consider our assertions on any remaining outside basis differences in our foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 and have not completed our analysis. Under guidance issued by the staff of the SEC, we expect to finalize our accounting related to the tax effects of the TCJA on deferred taxes, valuation allowances, state tax considerations, the repatriation tax liability, global intangible low-taxed income, and any remaining outside basis differences in our foreign subsidiaries during 2018 as we complete our analysis, computations and assertions. It is possible that others, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. We will revise these estimates during 2018 as we gather additional information to complete our tax returns and as any interpretation or clarification of the TCJA occurs through legislation, U.S. Treasury actions or other means. In 2017 , the Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income was impacted by the following: • estimated U.S. net tax benefits of $10.7 billion associated with the enactment of the TCJA (see discussion above), primarily reflecting: ◦ $22.8 billion tax benefit associated with the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax liabilities on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries (see Note 5C ); ◦ $1.6 billion tax benefit associated with the remeasurement of other U.S. deferred tax liabilities, primarily associated with intangibles (see Note 5C ); ◦ $12.9 billion tax expense related to the repatriation tax on deemed repatriated accumulated pre-2017 post-1986 earnings of foreign subsidiaries; ◦ $1.0 billion tax expense related to future taxes on global intangible low-taxed income (see Note 5C ); and ◦ approximately $100 million tax benefit primarily associated with certain tax initiatives; • U.S. tax expense of approximately $1.3 billion related to the repatriation tax on deemed repatriated current year earnings of foreign subsidiaries; • tax benefit of approximately $370 million related to net losses on early retirement of debt; • tax benefits of approximately $150 million representing tax and interest resulting from the resolution of certain tax positions pertaining to prior years primarily with various foreign tax authorities, and the expiration of certain statutes of limitations; and • the non-deductibility of a $307 million fee payable to the federal government as a result of the U.S. Healthcare Legislation. In 2016 , the Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income was impacted by the following: • U.S. tax expense of approximately $1.1 billion as a result of providing U.S. deferred income taxes on certain funds earned outside the U.S. that will not be indefinitely reinvested overseas, virtually all of which were earned in 2016 (see Note 5C ); • tax benefits of approximately $460 million , representing tax and interest, resulting from the resolution of certain tax positions pertaining to prior years, primarily with various foreign tax authorities, and from the expiration of certain statutes of limitations; • benefits related to the final resolution of an agreement in principle reached in February 2016 and finalized in April 2016 to resolve certain claims related to Protonix, which resulted in the receipt of information that raised our initial assessment in 2015 of the likelihood of prevailing on the technical merits of our tax position; • net tax benefits of $89 million , related to the adoption of a new accounting standard in the fourth quarter of 2016, as of January 1, 2016, requiring excess tax benefits or deficiencies of share-based compensation to be recognized as a component of the Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements–– Note 1B. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies: Adoption of New Accounting Standards in Pfizer’s 2016 Financial Report); • the non-deductibility of a $312 million fee payable to the federal government as a result of the U.S. Healthcare Legislation; and • the permanent extension of the U.S. R&D tax credit, which was signed into law in December 2015. In 2015 , the Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income was impacted by the following: • U.S. tax expense of approximately $2.1 billion as a result of providing U.S. deferred income taxes on certain funds earned outside the U.S. that will not be indefinitely reinvested overseas, virtually all of which were earned in 2015 (see Note 5C ); • tax benefits of approximately $360 million , representing tax and interest, resulting from the resolution of certain tax positions pertaining to prior years, primarily with various foreign tax authorities, and from the expiration of certain statutes of limitations; • the permanent extension of the U.S. R&D tax credit, which was signed into law in December 2015, as well as tax benefits associated with certain tax initiatives; • the non-deductibility of a foreign currency loss related to Venezuela; • the non-deductibility of a charge for the agreement in principle reached in February 2016 to resolve claims relating to Protonix; and • the non-deductibility of a $251 million fee payable to the federal government as a result of the U.S. Healthcare Legislation. In all years, federal, state and international net tax liabilities assumed or established as part of a business acquisition are not included in Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income (see Note 2A ). B. Tax Rate Reconciliation The reconciliation of the U.S. statutory income tax rate to our effective tax rate for Income from continuing operations follows: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 U.S. statutory income tax rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % TCJA impact (a) (86.6 ) — — Taxation of non-U.S. operations (b), (c), (d) (17.0 ) (13.8 ) (9.6 ) Tax settlements and resolution of certain tax positions (e) (1.2 ) (5.5 ) (4.0 ) U.S. Healthcare Legislation (e) 0.9 1.3 0.9 U.S. R&D tax credit and manufacturing deduction (e) (0.7 ) (1.0 ) (1.0 ) Certain legal settlements and charges (e) 0.1 (2.9 ) 3.1 All other, net (f) (3.9 ) 0.3 (2.1 ) Effective tax rate for income from continuing operations (73.5 )% 13.4 % 22.2 % (a) For a discussion about the enactment of the TCJA, see Note 5A. (b) For taxation of non-U.S. operations, this rate impact reflects the income tax rates and relative earnings in the locations where we do business outside the U.S., together with the cost of repatriation decisions, which includes the repatriation tax on deemed repatriated current year earnings of foreign subsidiaries discussed in Note 5A , as well as changes in uncertain tax positions not included in the reconciling item called “Tax settlements and resolution of certain tax positions”. Specifically: (i) the jurisdictional location of earnings is a significant component of our effective tax rate each year as tax rates outside the U.S. are generally lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate, and the rate impact of this component is influenced by the specific location of non-U.S. earnings and the level of such earnings as compared to our total earnings; (ii) the cost of repatriation decisions, and other U.S. tax implications of our foreign operations, is a significant component of our effective tax rate each year and generally offsets some of the reduction to our effective tax rate each year resulting from the jurisdictional location of earnings; and (iii) the impact of changes in uncertain tax positions not included in the reconciling item called “Tax settlements and resolution of certain tax positions” is a component of our effective tax rate each year that can result in either an increase or decrease to our effective tax rate. The jurisdictional mix of earnings, which includes the impact of the location of earnings as well as repatriation costs, can vary as a result of the repatriation decisions, as a result of operating fluctuations in the normal course of business and as a result of the extent and location of other income and expense items, such as restructuring charges, asset impairments and gains and losses on strategic business decisions. See also Note 5A for the components of pre-tax income and Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income, which is based on the location of the taxing authorities, and for information about settlements and other items impacting Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income . (c) In all periods presented, the reduction in our effective tax rate resulting from the jurisdictional location of earnings is largely due to generally lower tax rates, as well as manufacturing and other incentives associated with our subsidiaries in Puerto Rico and Singapore. 2015 and 2016 also include incentives in Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic related to the Hospira infusion systems business, which was sold to ICU Medical in February 2017. We benefit from a Puerto Rican incentive grant that expires in 2029. Under the grant, we are partially exempt from income, property and municipal taxes. In Singapore, we benefit from incentive tax rates effective through 2031 on income from manufacturing and other operations. (d) The favorable rate impact in 2017 also reflects lower repatriation costs associated with estimated current year income of our foreign subsidiaries. The favorable rate impact in 2016 also includes the non-recurrence of the non-deductibility of a foreign currency loss related to Venezuela. The rate impact in 2015 also includes the non-deductibility of a foreign currency loss related to Venezuela. (e) For a discussion about tax settlements and resolution of certain tax positions, the impact of U.S. Healthcare Legislation, the U.S. R&D tax credit and manufacturing deduction and the impact of certain legal settlements and charges, see Note 5A. (f) All other, net in 2017 and 2015 primarily relates to tax benefits associated with certain tax initiatives in the normal course of business. C. Deferred Taxes Deferred taxes arise as a result of basis differentials between financial statement accounting and tax amounts. The components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, shown before jurisdictional netting, follow: 2017 Deferred Tax* 2016 Deferred Tax (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) Assets (Liabilities) Assets (Liabilities) Prepaid/deferred items $ 1,588 $ (132 ) $ 2,180 $ (68 ) Inventories 224 (3 ) 366 (47 ) Intangible assets (a) 685 (9,269 ) 1,139 (15,172 ) Property, plant and equipment 123 (755 ) 92 (982 ) Employee benefits 2,219 (109 ) 3,356 (74 ) Restructurings and other charges 226 (8 ) 458 (2 ) Legal and product liability reserves 459 — 650 — Net operating loss/tax credit carryforwards (b) 4,502 — 2,957 — Unremitted earnings (a), (c) — (1,067 ) — (23,108 ) State and local tax adjustments 218 — 301 — All other 488 (424 ) 306 (503 ) 10,732 (11,767 ) 11,806 (39,956 ) Valuation allowances (2,203 ) — (1,949 ) — Total deferred taxes $ 8,529 $ (11,767 ) $ 9,857 $ (39,956 ) Net deferred tax liability (d) $ (3,238 ) $ (30,099 ) * 2017 reflects the estimated remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities as the result of the enactment of the TCJA. For additional information, see Note 5A . (a) The decrease in 2017 is primarily the result of the enactment of the TCJA, which includes the remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities primarily associated with intangible assets and unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries as well as amortization on intangible assets. For additional information, see Note 5A. (b) The amounts in 2017 and 2016 are reduced for unrecognized tax benefits of $3.4 billion and $3.0 billion , respectively, where we have net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, and/or tax credit carryforwards that are available, under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction, to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position. (c) The amount in 2017 primarily includes a provisional estimate on temporary differences associated with global intangible low-taxed income primarily related to basis differentials on intangibles. For additional information, see Note 5A. (d) In 2017 , Noncurrent deferred tax assets and other noncurrent tax assets ( $0.7 billion ), and Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities ( $3.9 billion ). In 2016 , Noncurrent deferred tax assets and other noncurrent tax assets ( $654 million ), and Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities ( $30.8 billion ). We have carryforwards, primarily related to foreign tax credits, net operating and capital losses and charitable contributions, which are available to reduce future U.S. federal and state, as well as international, income taxes payable with either an indefinite life or expiring at various times from 2018 to 2037. Certain of our U.S. net operating losses are subject to limitations under IRC Section 382. Valuation allowances are provided when we believe that our deferred tax assets are not recoverable based on an assessment of estimated future taxable income that incorporates ongoing, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, that would be implemented, if necessary, to realize the deferred tax assets. We have not completed our analysis of the TCJA on our prior assertion of indefinitely reinvested earnings. Accordingly, we continue to evaluate our assertion with respect to our accumulated foreign earnings subject to the deemed repatriation tax and we also continue to evaluate the amount of earnings that are indefinitely reinvested. Additionally, we continue to evaluate our assertions on any remaining outside basis differences in our foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 as we have not finalized our analysis of the effects of all of the new provisions in the TCJA. As of December 31, 2017, it is not practicable to estimate the additional deferred tax liability that would be recorded if the earnings subject to the deemed repatriation tax and any remaining outside basis differences as of December 31, 2017 are not indefinitely reinvested. In accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, we expect to complete our analysis within the measurement period. D. Tax Contingencies We are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions, and a certain degree of estimation is required in recording the assets and liabilities related to income taxes. All of our tax positions are subject to audit by the local taxing authorities in each tax jurisdiction. These tax audits can involve complex issues, interpretations and judgments and the resolution of matters may span multiple years, particularly if subject to negotiation or litigation. Our assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but our estimates of unrecognized tax benefits and potential tax benefits may not be representative of actual outcomes, and variation from such estimates could materially affect our financial statements in the period of settlement or when the statutes of limitations expire, as we treat these events as discrete items in the period of resolution. For a description of our accounting policies associated with accounting for income tax contingencies, see Note 1O. For a description of the risks associated with estimates and assumptions, see Note 1C. Uncertain Tax Positions As tax law is complex and often subject to varied interpretations, it is uncertain whether some of our tax positions will be sustained upon audit. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , we had approximately $5.4 billion and $4.6 billion , respectively, in net unrecognized tax benefits, excluding associated interest. • Tax assets associated with uncertain tax positions primarily represent our estimate of the potential tax benefits in one tax jurisdiction that could result from the payment of income taxes in another tax jurisdiction. These potential benefits generally result from cooperative efforts among taxing authorities, as required by tax treaties to minimize double taxation, commonly referred to as the competent authority process. The recoverability of these assets, which we believe to be more likely than not, is dependent upon the actual payment of taxes in one tax jurisdiction and, in some cases, the successful petition for recovery in another tax jurisdiction. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , we had approximately $1.2 billion , in each year, in assets associated with uncertain tax positions. In 2017 , these amounts were included in Noncurrent deferred tax assets and other noncurrent tax assets ( $1.0 billion ) and Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities ( $118 million ). In 2016 , these amounts were included in Noncurrent deferred tax assets and other noncurrent tax assets ( $1.0 billion ) and Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities ( $201 million ). • Tax liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions represent unrecognized tax benefits, which arise when the estimated benefit recorded in our financial statements differs from the amounts taken or expected to be taken in a tax return because of the uncertainties described above. These unrecognized tax benefits relate primarily to issues common among multinational corporations. Substantially all of these unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact our effective income tax rate. The reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits follows: (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 Balance, beginning $ (5,826 ) $ (5,919 ) $ (6,182 ) Acquisitions (a) 10 (83 ) (110 ) Increases based on tax positions taken during a prior period (b) (49 ) (11 ) (31 ) Decreases based on tax positions taken during a prior period (b), (c) 28 409 496 Decreases based on settlements for a prior period (d) 35 126 64 Increases based on tax positions taken during the current period (b) (753 ) (489 ) (675 ) Impact of foreign exchange (121 ) (5 ) 319 Other, net (b), (e) 118 146 199 Balance, ending (f) $ (6,558 ) $ (5,826 ) $ (5,919 ) (a) For 2017 and 2016, primarily related to the acquisitions of Medivation and Anacor. For 2015, primarily related to the acquisition of Hospira. See also Note 2A . (b) Primarily included in Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income. (c) Primarily related to effectively settling certain tax positions primarily with foreign tax authorities. See also Note 5A. (d) Primarily related to cash payments and reductions of tax attributes. (e) Primarily related to decreases as a result of a lapse of applicable statutes of limitations. (f) In 2017 , included in Income taxes payable ( $1 million ), Noncurrent deferred tax assets and other noncurrent tax assets ( $123 million ), Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities ( $3.3 billion ) and Other taxes payable ( $3.2 billion ). In 2016 , included in Income taxes payable ( $14 million ), Current tax assets ( $17 million ), Noncurrent deferred tax assets and other noncurrent tax assets ( $184 million ), Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities ( $2.8 billion ) and Other taxes payable ( $2.8 billion ). • Interest related to our unrecognized tax benefits is recorded in accordance with the laws of each jurisdiction and is recorded primarily in Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income in our consolidated statements of income. In 2017 , we recorded a net increase in interest of $208 million . In 2016 , we recorded a net increase in interest of $72 million ; and in 2015 , we recorded a net increase in interest of $71 million . Gross accrued interest totaled $975 million as of December 31, 2017 (reflecting a decrease of approximately $4 million as a result of cash payments) and gross accrued interest totaled $771 million as of December 31, 2016 (reflecting a decrease of approximately $18 million as a result of cash payments). In 2017 , this amount was included in Other taxes payable ( $975 million ). In 2016 , these amounts were included in Income taxes payable ( $4 million ), Current tax asset s ( $13 million ) and Other taxes payable ( $754 million ). Accrued penalties are not significant. See also Note 5A. Status of Tax Audits and Potential Impact on Accruals for Uncertain Tax Positions The U.S. is one of our major tax jurisdictions, and we are regularly audited by the IRS: • With respect to Pfizer, the IRS has issued a Revenue Agent’s Report (RAR) for tax years 2009-2010. We are not in agreement with the RAR and are currently appealing certain disputed issues. Tax years 2011-2013 are currently under audit. Tax years 2014-2017 are open, but not under audit. All other tax years are closed. • With respect to Hospira, the federal income tax audit of tax years 2012-2013 was effectively settled in the third quarter of 2017. The IRS is currently auditing tax year 2014 through short-year 2015. All other tax years are closed. The tax years under audit for Hospira are not considered material to Pfizer. • With respect to Anacor and Medivation, the open tax years are not considered material to Pfizer. In addition to the open audit years in the U.S., we have open audit years in other major tax jurisdictions, such as Canada (2010-2017), Japan (2015-2017), Europe (2011-2017, primarily reflecting Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain and Germany), Latin America (1998-2017, primarily reflecting Brazil) and Puerto Rico (2010-2017). Any settlements or statutes of limitations expirations could result in a significant decrease in our uncertain tax positions. We estimate that it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months, our gross unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest, could decrease by as much as $150 million , as a result of settlements with taxing authorities or the expiration of the statutes of limitations. Our assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but our estimates of unrecognized tax benefits and potential tax benefits may not be representative of actual outcomes, and variation from such estimates could materially affect our financial statements in the period of settlement or when the statutes of limitations expire, as we treat these events as discrete items in the period of resolution. Finalizing audits with the relevant taxing authorities can include formal administrative and legal proceedings, and, as a result, it is difficult to estimate the timing and range of possible changes related to our uncertain tax positions, and such changes could be significant. E. Tax Provision/(Benefit) on Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) The following table provides the components of the Tax provision/(benefit) on other comprehensive income/(loss) : Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 Foreign currency translation adjustments, net (a) $ (215 ) $ (15 ) $ 90 Unrealized holding gains/(losses) on derivative financial instruments, net 72 (75 ) (173 ) Reclassification adjustments for (gains)/losses included in net income (224 ) 158 104 (152 ) 83 (69 ) Unrealized holding gains/(losses) on available-for-sale securities, net 102 49 (104 ) Reclassification adjustments for (gains)/losses included in net income (60 ) (15 ) 59 42 34 (45 ) Benefit plans: actuarial losses, net (59 ) (535 ) (23 ) Reclassification adjustments related to amortization 192 186 183 Reclassification adjustments related to settlements, net 42 45 237 Other (39 ) 36 66 137 (269 ) 462 Benefit plans: prior service (costs)/credits and other, net — 67 160 Reclassification adjustments related to amortization (67 ) (64 ) (59 ) Reclassification adjustments related to curtailments, net (7 ) (10 ) (12 ) Other — (1 ) — (74 ) (7 ) 89 Tax provision/(benefit) on other comprehensive income/(loss) $ (262 ) $ (174 ) $ 528 (a) Taxes are not provided for foreign currency translation adjustments relating to investments in international subsidiaries that will be held indefinitely. |

Financial Instruments | A. Fair Value Measurements Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis We use a market approach, as described in Note 1E, in valuing financial instruments on a recurring basis. The following table presents the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by balance sheet categories and fair value hierarchy level as defined in Note 1E : Total Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Short-term investments Classified as trading securities: Equity (a) $ 19 $ — $ 19 $ — $ — $ — Classified as available-for-sale securities: Government and agency debt—non-U.S. 12,242 — 12,242 7,317 — 7,317 Corporate debt 2,766 — 2,766 2,783 — 2,783 Government debt—U.S. 252 — 252 2,630 — 2,630 Agency asset-backed debt—U.S. 23 — 23 39 — 39 Other asset-backed debt 79 — 79 367 — 367 Money market funds 2,115 — 2,115 1,431 — 1,431 Equity 16 16 — 1 1 — 17,493 16 17,477 14,567 1 14,566 Total short-term investments 17,512 16 17,496 14,567 1 14,566 Other current assets Derivative assets: Interest rate contracts 104 — 104 26 — 26 Foreign exchange contracts 234 — 234 540 — 540 Total other current assets 337 — 337 566 — 566 Long-term investments Classified as trading securities: Equity (a) 266 224 42 236 165 71 Debt 73 73 — 89 89 — 340 298 42 325 254 71 Classified as available-for-sale securities: Government and agency debt—non-U.S. 387 — 387 863 — 863 Corporate debt 4,172 36 4,136 4,306 — 4,306 Government debt—U.S. 495 — 495 88 — 88 Other asset-backed debt 35 — 35 239 — 239 Money market funds — — — 14 — 14 Equity 1,174 1,174 — 539 539 — 6,264 1,210 5,054 6,049 539 5,510 Total long-term investments 6,603 1,507 5,096 6,374 793 5,581 Other noncurrent assets Derivative assets: Interest rate contracts 477 — 477 599 — 599 Foreign exchange contracts 7 — 7 90 — 90 Total other noncurrent assets 484 — 484 689 — 689 Total assets $ 24,937 $ 1,523 $ 23,414 $ 22,197 $ 794 $ 21,403 Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Other current liabilities Derivative liabilities: Interest rate contracts $ 1 $ — $ 1 $ 1 $ — $ 1 Foreign exchange contracts 201 — 201 443 — 443 Total other current liabilities 201 — 201 444 — 444 Other noncurrent liabilities Derivative liabilities: Interest rate contracts 177 — 177 147 — 147 Foreign exchange contracts 313 — 313 1,075 — 1,075 Total other noncurrent liabilities 490 — 490 1,222 — 1,222 Total liabilities $ 691 $ — $ 691 $ 1,666 $ — $ 1,666 (a) As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , equity securities of $42 million and $71 million , respectively, are held in trust for benefits attributable to the former Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan.

The fair value measurements of our held-to-maturity debt securities and our short-term borrowings are based on Level 2 inputs, using a market approach. The fair value measurements of our private equity securities carried at cost, which represent investments in the life sciences sector, are based on Level 3 inputs using a market approach. In addition, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , we had long-term receivables where the determination of fair value employs discounted future cash flows, using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the differences between the estimated fair values and carrying values of these receivables were not significant. There were no significant impairments of financial assets recognized in any period presented. Total Short-Term and Long-Term Investments The following table represents our investments by classification type: As of December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 Short-term investments Trading securities $ 19 $ — Available-for-sale debt and equity securities 17,493 14,567 Held-to-maturity debt securities 1,138 688 Total Short-term investments $ 18,650 $ 15,255 Long-term investments Trading securities $ 340 $ 325 Available-for-sale debt and equity securities 6,264 6,049 Held-to-maturity debt securities 4 7 Private equity investments carried at equity-method or cost 408 735 Total Long-term investments $ 7,015 $ 7,116 Held-to-maturity cash equivalents $ 719 Fair Value Methodology The following inputs and valuation techniques were used to estimate the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities: • Trading equity securities—quoted market prices. • Trading debt securities—quoted market prices. • Available-for-sale debt securities—third-party matrix-pricing model that uses significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data and credit-adjusted interest rate yield curves. Receivable-backed, loan-backed, and mortgage-backed debt securities are valued by third-party models that use significant inputs derived from observable market data like prepayment rates, default rates, and recovery rates. • Available-for-sale equity securities—third-party pricing services that principally use a composite of observable prices. • Derivative assets and liabilities (financial instruments)—third-party matrix-pricing model that uses significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Where applicable, these models discount future cash flow amounts using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate yield curves, and forward and spot prices for currencies. The credit risk impact to our derivative financial instruments was not significant. • Held-to-maturity debt securities—third-party matrix-pricing model that uses significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data and credit-adjusted interest rate yield curves. • Available-for-sale money market funds—observable net asset value prices. • Private equity securities, excluding equity-method investments—application of the implied volatility associated with an observable biotech index to the carrying amount of our portfolio. • Short-term borrowings and long-term debt—third-party matrix-pricing model that uses significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data and our own credit rating. We periodically review the methodologies, inputs and outputs of third-party pricing services for reasonableness. Our procedures can include, for example, referencing other third-party pricing models, monitoring key observable inputs (like LIBOR interest rates) and selectively performing test-comparisons of values with actual sales of financial instruments. B. Investments At December 31, 2017, the investment securities portfolio consisted of debt securities that were virtually all investment-grade. Information on investments in debt and equity securities at December 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows, including, as of December 31, 2017, the contractual maturities, or as necessary, the estimated maturities, of the available-for-sale and held-to maturity debt securities: December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Gross Unrealized Maturities (in Years) Gross Unrealized (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) Amortized Cost Gains Losses Fair Value Within 1 Over 1 to 5 Over 5 Total Amortized Cost Gains Losses Fair Value Available-for-sale debt securities Government and agency debt –– non-U.S. $ 12,616 $ 61 $ (48 ) $ 12,629 $ 12,242 $ 387 $ — $ 12,629 $ 8,403 $ 11 $ (235 ) $ 8,179 Corporate debt (b) 6,955 15 (33 ) 6,938 2,766 2,630 1,542 6,938 7,162 16 (89 ) 7,089 Government debt––U.S. 765 — (19 ) 747 252 495 — 747 2,729 1 (12 ) 2,718 Agency asset-backed debt––U.S. 24 — (1 ) 24 23 — — 24 41 — (1 ) 39 Other asset-backed debt (c) 114 — — 114 79 32 3 114 607 1 (2 ) 605 Held-to-maturity debt securities Time deposits and other 1,091 — — 1,091 1,087 — 4 1,091 830 — — 830 Government and agency debt –– non-U.S. 770 — — 770 770 — — 770 412 — — 412 Total debt securities $ 22,337 $ 77 $ (100 ) $ 22,313 $ 17,219 $ 3,544 $ 1,550 $ 22,313 $ 20,184 $ 29 $ (339 ) $ 19,873 Available-for-sale equity securities Money market funds $ 2,115 $ — $ — $ 2,115 $ 1,446 $ — $ (1 ) $ 1,445 Equity 728 586 (124 ) 1,190 426 239 (125 ) 540 Total available-for-sale equity securities $ 2,843 $ 586 $ (124 ) $ 3,304 $ 1,872 $ 239 $ (126 ) $ 1,985 (a) Issued by a diverse group of corporations.

Receivable-backed securities are collateralized by credit cards receivables, and loan-backed securities are collateralized by senior secured obligations of a diverse pool of companies or student loans. Mortgage-backed securities are collateralized by diversified pools of residential and commercial mortgages. C. Short-Term Borrowings Short-term borrowings include: As of December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 Commercial paper $ 6,100 $ 5,800 Current portion of long-term debt, principal amount (a) 3,532 4,201 Other short-term borrowings, principal amount (b) 320 673 Total short-term borrowings, principal amount 9,951 10,674 Net fair value adjustments related to hedging and purchase accounting 14 24 Net unamortized discounts, premiums and debt issuance costs (12 ) (11 ) Total Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt , carried at historical proceeds, as adjusted $ 9,953 $ 10,688 (a) For additional information, see Note 7D . (b) Other short-term borrowings primarily include cash collateral. For additional information, see Note 7F . The weighted-average effective interest rate on commercial paper outstanding was approximately 1.36% as of December 31, 2017 and 0.83% as of December 31, 2016 . On June 24, 2016, we acquired Anacor and assumed its short-term debt with an acquisition date fair value of $698 million , which was redeemed in the second and third quarters of 2016. As of December 31, 2017 , we had approximately $7.0 billion of unused revolving credit facility, expiring in 2022, which may be used to support our commercial paper borrowings. D. Long-Term Debt New Issuances In 2017, we issued the following senior unsecured notes: Settlement Date Maturity Date Interest Rate Issue Currency Principal Amount March 6, 2017 March 2019 3-month EURIBOR+0.20% (0% floor) Euro € 1,250 March 2020 0.00 % Euro 1,000 March 2022 0.25 % Euro 1,000 March 2027 1.00 % Euro 750 € 4,000 (a) December 19, 2017 June 2043 2.735 % U.K. pound £ 1,376 (b) March 17, 2017 March 2047 4.20 % U.S. dollar $ 1,065 (c) (a) The weighted-average effective interest rate for the euro notes at issuance was 0.23% . (b) In December 2017, Pfizer exchanged approximately £ 833 million principal amount of the outstanding 6.50% debt due 2038 for £ 1.376 billion principal amount of 2.735% debt due 2043. This exchange constituted a debt extinguishment. See the following “Retirements” section for the income statement impact from the extinguishment. (c) The notes, issued in U.S. dollars in Taiwan, are redeemable, at our option, in whole but not in part, on each March 17 on or after March 17, 2020. On November 21, 2016, we completed a public offering of $6.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes: $1.0 billion of notes due 2019; $1.0 billion of notes due 2021; $1.75 billion of notes due 2026; $1.0 billion of notes due 2036; and $1.25 billion of notes due 2046, with a weighted-average effective interest rate of 3.10% . On June 3, 2016, we completed a public offering of $5.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes with a weighted-average effective interest rate of 2.09% . Acquisition of Hospira Debt On September 3, 2015, the Hospira acquisition date, our long-term debt increased due to the addition of an aggregate principal amount of $1,750 million of legacy Hospira debt, recorded at acquisition-date fair value of $1,928 million . In October 2015, Pfizer exchanged $1.7 billion debt of its then recently acquired subsidiary, Hospira, for virtually the same amount of Pfizer debt with the same interest rate and maturity terms as the Hospira debt, leaving a minor amount of outstanding debt in Hospira’s name that was redeemed during the fourth quarter of 2016. In connection with the exchange offers, the indenture governing the Hospira notes and the Hospira notes were amended to, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants. The net income effect of this exchange was immaterial. Retirements In December 2017, we exchanged approximately £833 million and repurchased £197 million principal amount of the outstanding 6.50% debt before the maturity date at a redemption value of £1.7 billion , leaving £470 million principal amount of the 6.50% debt due 2038 outstanding. Also, in December 2017, we repurchased approximately €834 million principal amount of the outstanding 5.75% debt before the maturity date at a redemption value of €1.0 billion , leaving approximately €1.2 billion of the 5.75% euro-denominated debt due 2021 outstanding. As a result, we recorded a net loss of approximately $846 million and $153 million upon the exchange and early retirement of the U.K. pound-denominated debt and the early retirement of the euro-denominated debt, respectively, for a net loss on early retirement of debt of $999 million . which included the related termination of cross-currency swaps, and that were recorded in Other (income)/deductions––net in the consolidated statement of income (see Note 4 ). In November 2016, we repurchased $3.4 billion carrying value of outstanding debt before the maturity date at a redemption value of $3.7 billion . The debt repurchased included $3.27 billion carrying value of 6.20% senior notes due March 2019. As a result, we recorded a total net loss of approximately $312 million upon the early redemption of debt, which included the related termination of interest rate swaps, and which was recorded in Other (income)/deductions––net in the consolidated statement of income (see Note 4 ). The following table provides the components of our senior unsecured long-term debt, including the weighted-average stated interest rate for 2017 and 2016 by maturity. As of December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 Notes due 2018 (2.3%) (a) $ — $ 3,532 Notes due 2019 (1.3% and 1.8%) 4,848 3,350 Notes due 2020 (1.1% and 5.2%) 1,528 330 Notes due 2021 (3.5% and 3.9%) 3,550 4,260 Notes due 2022 (0.3%) 1,199 — Notes due 2023 (4.3% and 4.3%) 1,592 1,592 Notes due 2024-2028 (3.5% and 3.9%) 6,259 5,360 Notes due 2034-2038 (5.7% and 5.9%) 4,886 6,102 Notes due 2039-2043 (5.2% and 6.4%) 5,606 3,745 Notes due 2044-2047 (4.2% and 4.2%) 3,315 2,250 Total long-term borrowings, principal amount 32,783 30,520 Net fair value adjustments related to hedging and purchase accounting 872 998 Net unamortized discounts, premiums and debt issuance costs (125 ) (130 ) Other long-term obligations 8 9 Total long-term borrowings, carried at historical proceeds, as adjusted $ 33,538 $ 31,398 Current portion of long-term debt, carried at historical proceeds (not included above (2.4% and 3.0%) $ 3,546 $ 4,225 (a) At December 31, 2017, the debt issuances have been reclassified to the current portion of long-term debt. Our long-term debt, provided in the above table, is generally redeemable by us at any time at varying redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest. Other Noncurrent Liabilities In December 2017, the U.S. approved Bosulif (bosutinib) for the treatment of patients with newly-diagnosed chronic-phase Ph+ CML. In connection with the U.S. approval, we incurred an obligation to make guaranteed fixed annual payments over a ten-year period aggregating $416 million related to a research and development arrangement. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2017 we recorded the estimated net present value of $364 million as an intangible asset in Developed technology rights , and we have recorded the present value of the remaining future payments of $281 million in Other noncurrent liabilities and $83 million in Other current liabilities as of December 31, 2017. In August 2017, the U.S. approved Besponsa (inotuzumab ozogamicin) and in June 2017, the EU approved Besponsa as monotherapy for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory CD22-positive B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In connection with the U.S. approval, we incurred an obligation to make guaranteed fixed annual payments over a nine-year period aggregating $296 million related to a research and development arrangement. As a result, during the third quarter of 2017 we recorded the estimated net present value of $248 million as an intangible asset in Developed technology rights , and we have recorded the present value of the remaining future payments of $236 million in Other noncurrent liabilities and $15 million in Other current liabilities as of December 31, 2017. In connection with the EU approval, we incurred an obligation to make guaranteed fixed annual payments over a nine-year period aggregating $148 million related to a research and development arrangement. As a result, during the second quarter of 2017 we recorded the estimated net present value of $123 million as an intangible asset in Developed technology rights , and we have recorded the present value of the remaining future payments of $119 million in Other noncurrent liabilities and $6 million in Other current liabilities as of December 31, 2017. The differences between the estimated fair values, using a market approach in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy, and carrying values of the obligations were not significant as of December 31, 2017. F. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities Foreign Exchange Risk A significant portion of our revenues, earnings and net investments in foreign affiliates is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. We manage our foreign exchange risk, in part, through operational means, including managing same-currency revenues in relation to same-currency costs and same-currency assets in relation to same-currency liabilities. We also manage our foreign exchange risk, depending on market conditions, through fair value, cash flow, and net investment hedging programs through the use of derivative financial instruments and foreign currency debt. These financial instruments serve to protect net income against the impact of remeasurement into another currency, or against the impact of translation into U.S. dollars of certain foreign exchange-denominated transactions. All derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign currency risk are measured at fair value and are reported as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The derivative financial instruments primarily hedge or offset exposures in the euro, U.K. pound, Japanese yen, and Canadian dollar. Changes in fair value are reported in earnings or in Other comprehensive income/(loss) , depending on the nature and purpose of the financial instrument (hedge or offset relationship) and the effectiveness of the hedge relationships, as follows: • We recognize the gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts that are designated as fair value hedges in earnings upon the recognition of the change in fair value of the hedged risk. We recognize the offsetting foreign exchange impact attributable to the hedged item also in earnings. • We record in Other comprehensive income/(loss) the effective portion of the gains or losses on foreign exchange contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges and reclassify those amounts, as appropriate, into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. • As part of our net investment hedging program, we recognize the gain and loss impact on foreign exchange contracts designated as hedges of our net investments in earnings in three ways: over time-for the periodic net swap payments; immediately-to the extent of any change in the difference between the foreign exchange spot rate and forward rate; and upon sale or substantial liquidation of our net investments-to the extent of change in the foreign exchange spot rates. We record in Other comprehensive income/(loss) the foreign exchange gains and losses related to foreign exchange-denominated debt designated as a hedge of our net investments in foreign subsidiaries and reclassify those amounts into earnings upon the sale or substantial liquidation of our net investments. • For certain foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments, we recognize the gains and losses on foreign currency exchange contracts that are used to offset the same foreign currency assets or liabilities immediately into earnings along with the earnings impact of the items they generally offset. These contracts essentially take the opposite currency position of that reflected in the month-end balance sheet to counterbalance the effect of any currency movement. As a part of our cash flow hedging program, we designate foreign exchange contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted euro, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi, U.K. pound, Canadian dollar, and Australian dollar-denominated intercompany inventory sales expected to occur no more than two years from the date of each hedge. Any ineffectiveness is recognized immediately into earnings. There was no significant ineffectiveness for any period presented. Interest Rate Risk Our interest-bearing investments and borrowings are subject to interest rate risk. We strive to invest and borrow primarily on a floating-rate basis; however, in light of current market conditions, we currently borrow primarily on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. From time to time, depending on market conditions, we will change the profile of our outstanding debt by entering into derivative financial instruments like interest rate swaps. We entered into derivative financial instruments to hedge or offset the fixed interest rates on the hedged item, matching the amount and timing of the hedged item. The derivative financial instruments primarily hedge U.S. dollar fixed-rate debt. All derivative contracts used to manage interest rate risk are measured at fair value and reported as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in fair value are reported in earnings, as follows: • We recognize the gains and losses on interest rate contracts that are designated as fair value hedges in earnings upon the recognition of the change in fair value of the hedged risk. We recognize the offsetting earnings impact of fixed-rate debt attributable to the hedged risk also in earnings. Any ineffectiveness is recognized immediately into earnings. There was no significant ineffectiveness for any period presented. The following table provides the fair value of the derivative financial instruments and the related notional amounts presented between those derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments and those that are not designated as hedging instruments: (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Fair Value Fair Value Notional Asset Liability Notional Asset Liability Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts (a) $ 18,723 $ 179 $ 459 $ 14,424 $ 468 $ 1,135 Interest rate contracts 12,430 581 178 15,991 625 148 760 637 1,093 1,283 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts $ 14,300 $ 62 $ 54 $ 13,100 $ 162 $ 382 Total $ 822 $ 691 $ 1,255 $ 1,665 (a) As of December 31, 2017, the notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward-exchange contracts hedging our intercompany forecasted inventory sales was $5.1 billion . The following table provides information about the gains/(losses) incurred to hedge or offset operational foreign exchange or interest rate risk: Amount of Gains/(Losses) Recognized in OID (a), (b) Amount of Gains/(Losses) Recognized in OCI (Effective Portion) (a), (c) Amount of Gains/(Losses) Reclassified from OCI into OID and COS (Effective Portion) (a), (c) As of December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2017 2016 2017 2016 Derivative Financial Instruments in Cash Flow Hedge Relationships: Foreign exchange contracts (d) $ (6 ) $ (4 ) $ (12 ) $ (444 ) $ 520 $ (451 ) Derivative Financial Instruments in Fair Value Hedge Relationships: Interest rate contracts (60 ) (181 ) — — — — Hedged item gain/(loss) 60 181 — — — — Foreign exchange contracts (19 ) (4 ) — — — — Hedged item gain/(loss) 19 4 — — — — Derivative Financial Instruments in Net Investment Hedge Relationships: Foreign exchange contracts — 1 — (15 ) — Non-Derivative Financial Instruments in Net Investment Hedge Relationships: Foreign currency short-term borrowings — — — (26 ) — — Foreign currency long-term debt (e) — — (580 ) — — — Derivative Financial Instruments Not Designated as Hedges: Foreign exchange contracts (87 ) (105 ) — — — — All other net — — 2 1 1 (1 ) $ (93 ) $ (107 ) $ (591 ) $ (483 ) $ 520 $ (452 ) (a) OID = Other (income)/deductions—net, included in Other (income)/deductions—net in the consolidated statements of income . COS = Cost of Sales, included in Cost of Sales in the consolidated statements of income. OCI = Other comprehensive income/(loss), included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income . (b) There was no significant ineffectiveness for any period presented. (c) For derivative financial instruments in cash flow hedge relationships, the effective portion is included in Other comprehensive income/(loss)––Unrealized holding gains/(losses) on derivative financial instruments, net . For derivative financial instruments in net investment hedge relationships and for foreign currency debt designated as hedging instruments, the effective portion is included in Other comprehensive income/(loss)––Foreign currency translation adjustments, net. (d) Based on year-end foreign exchange rates that are subject to change, we expect to reclassify a pre-tax loss of $72 million within the next 12 months into Cost of sales. The maximum length of time over which we are hedging future foreign exchange cash flow relates to our $1.9 billion U.K. pound debt maturing in 2043. (e) Long-term debt includes foreign currency long-term borrowings with carrying values of $4.8 billion as of December 31, 2017, which are used as hedging instruments. Certain of our derivative instruments are covered by associated credit-support agreements that have credit-risk-related contingent features designed to reduce our counterparties’ exposure to our risk of defaulting on amounts owed. As of December 31, 2017 , the aggregate fair value of these derivative instruments that are in a net liability position was $336 million , for which we have posted collateral of $346 million in the normal course of business. If there had been a downgrade to below an A rating by S&P or the equivalent rating by Moody’s, we would not have been required to post any additional collateral to our counterparties. As of December 31, 2017 , we received cash collateral of $226 million from various counterparties. The collateral primarily supports the approximate fair value of our derivative contracts. With respect to the collateral received, the obligations are reported in Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt. Credit Risk On an ongoing basis, we review the creditworthiness of counterparties to our foreign exchange and interest rate agreements and do not expect to incur a significant loss from failure of any counterparties to perform under the agreements. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk related to our financial instruments with any individual counterparty, except for certain significant customers. For additional information, see Note 18C . For details about our investments, see Note 7B above . In general, there is no requirement for collateral from customers. However, derivative financial instruments are executed under credit-support agreements that provide for the ability to request collateral payments, depending on levels of exposure, our credit rating and the credit rating of the counterparty, see Note 7F above. |

(b) The decrease in I dentifiable intangible assets, less accumulated amortization , is primarily due to (i) amortization, (ii) measurement period adjustments related to Medivation (see Note 2A ), as well as (iii) impairments of Developed technology rights (see Note 4 ), partially offset by (iv) assets acquired as part of the acquisition of AstraZeneca’s small molecule anti-infectives business (see Note 2A ), (v) the assets recorded in connection with the EU and U.S. approvals of Besponsa and in connection with the U.S. approval of Bosulif (see Note 7E ) and (vi) the assets recorded in connection with the approvals of Bavencio (see Note 2C ). Our identifiable intangible assets are associated with the following, as a percentage of total identifiable intangible assets, less accumulated amortization: December 31, 2017 IH EH WRD Developed technology rights 68 % 31 % — Brands, finite-lived 75 % 25 % — Brands, indefinite-lived 71 % 29 % — IPR&D 81 % 12 % 7 % Developed Technology Rights Developed technology rights represent the amortized cost associated with developed technology, which has been acquired from third parties and which can include the right to develop, use, market, sell and/or offer for sale the product, compounds and intellectual property that we have acquired with respect to products, compounds and/or processes that have been completed. We possess a well-diversified portfolio of hundreds of developed technology rights across therapeutic categories, representing the commercialized products included in our biopharmaceutical businesses. The more significant components of developed technology rights are the following (in order of significance): Xtandi, Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13 Infant, Eucrisa, Enbrel, Premarin, Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13 Adult, and, to a lesser extent Tygacil, Pristiq, Refacto AF and Zavicefta. Also included in this category are the post-approval milestone payments made under our alliance agreements for certain biopharmaceutical products. Brands Brands represent the amortized or unamortized cost associated with tradenames and know-how, as the products themselves do not receive patent protection. Most of these assets are associated with our Consumer Healthcare business unit. The more significant components of indefinite-lived brands are the following (in order of significance): Advil, Xanax/Xanax XR, Centrum, Caltrate, Medrol and Preparation H. The more significant components of finite-lived brands are the following (in order of significance): Nexium, Depo-Provera, Zavedos and, to a lesser extent, Idoform Bifiform, Polocard and Advil Cold and Sinus. IPR&D IPR&D assets represent R&D assets that have not yet received regulatory approval in a major market. The more significant components of IPR&D at December 31, 2017 are the programs for the treatment of non-metastatic and metastatic prostate cancer and the program for the oral PARP inhibitor for the treatment of patients with germline BRCA-mutated advanced breast cancer, both acquired as part of the Medivation acquisition. IPR&D assets are required to be classified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or the abandonment of the associated R&D effort. Accordingly, during the development period after the date of acquisition, these assets will not be amortized until approval is obtained in a major market, typically either the U.S. or the EU, or in a series of other countries, subject to certain specified conditions and management judgment. At that time, we will determine the useful life of the asset, reclassify the asset out of IPR&D and begin amortization. If the associated R&D effort is abandoned, the related IPR&D assets will likely be written-off, and we will record an impairment charge. For IPR&D assets, the risk of failure is significant and there can be no certainty that these assets ultimately will yield successful products. The nature of the biopharmaceutical business is high-risk and, as such, we expect that many of these IPR&D assets will become impaired and be written off at some time in the future. Amortization The weighted-average life for each of our total finite-lived intangible assets and the largest component, developed technology rights, is approximately 10 years. Total amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets was $4.8 billion in 2017 , $4.1 billion in 2016 and $3.8 billion in 2015 . The following table provides the annual amortization expense expected for the years 2018 through 2022: (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Amortization expense $ 4,798 $ 4,592 $ 3,569 $ 3,474 $ 3,223 B. Goodwill The following table provides the components of and changes in the carrying amount of Goodwill : (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) IH EH Total Balance, January 1, 2016 $ 23,809 $ 24,433 $ 48,242 Additions (a) 6,357 12 6,369 Other (b) (32 ) (130 ) (162 ) Balance, December 31, 2016 30,134 24,315 54,449 Additions (c) 572 92 664 Other (d) 435 404 840 Balance, December 31, 2017 $ 31,141 $ 24,811 $ 55,952 (a) IH additions primarily relate to our acquisitions of Medivation, Anacor and Bamboo (see Note 2A ).

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Plans | The majority of our employees worldwide are eligible for retirement benefits provided through defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans or both. In the U.S., we sponsor both IRC-qualified and supplemental (non-qualified) defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. A qualified plan meets the requirements of certain sections of the IRC, and, generally, contributions to qualified plans are tax deductible. A qualified plan typically provides benefits to a broad group of employees with restrictions on discriminating in favor of highly compensated employees with regard to coverage, benefits and contributions. A supplemental (non-qualified) plan provides additional benefits to certain employees. In addition, we provide medical insurance benefits to certain retirees and their eligible dependents through our postretirement plans. Effective January 1, 2018, there were two significant defined benefit pension plans that were frozen to future benefit accruals in the U.S. and U.K. and will result in the elimination of future service costs for those plans. A. Components of Net Periodic Benefit Costs and Changes in Other Comprehensive Loss The following table provides the annual (income)/cost and changes in Other comprehensive income/(loss) for our benefit plans: Year Ended December 31, Pension Plans U.S. Qualified (a) U.S. Supplemental (Non-Qualified) International Postretirement Plans (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 2017 2016 2015 2017 2016 2015 2017 2016 2015 Service cost $ 269 $ 257 $ 287 $ 24 $ 18 $ 22 $ 171 $ 165 $ 186 $ 42 $ 41 $ 55 Interest cost 634 646 676 54 53 54 204 233 307 90 101 117 Expected return on plan assets (1,005 ) (958 ) (1,089 ) — — — (345 ) (381 ) (418 ) (36 ) (34 ) (53 ) Amortization of: Actuarial losses 393 395 346 50 37 44 116 93 122 31 32 38 Prior service cost/(credits) 3 5 (5 ) (1 ) (1 ) (2 ) (4 ) (3 ) (7 ) (182 ) (174 ) (146 ) Curtailments 13 10 3 1 1 — — (2 ) 5 (19 ) (26 ) (31 ) Settlements 75 90 556 39 28 34 4 9 81 — — — Special termination benefits — — — — — — 1 1 1 — — — Net periodic benefit costs/(income) reported in Income 382 444 773 166 137 153 147 115 277 (75 ) (59 ) (21 ) (Income)/cost reported in Other comprehensive income/(loss) (b) 141 253 (396 ) 23 121 (143 ) (301 ) 640 (542 ) (8 ) 3 (540 ) (Income)/cost recognized in Comprehensive income $ 523 $ 697 $ 378 $ 189 $ 258 $ 10 $ (154 ) $ 755 $ (265 ) $ (83 ) $ (56 ) $ (560 ) (a) In April 2017, we settled the remaining obligation associated with the Hospira U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan. We purchased a group annuity contract on behalf of the remaining plan participants with a third-party insurance provider. As a result, we were relieved of the $156 million net pension benefit obligation and recorded a pretax settlement gain of $41 million , partially offset by the recognition of actuarial losses and prior service costs upon plan settlement of approximately $30 million in Restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs during the second quarter of 2017 (see Note 3 ). In 2015, the net periodic benefit costs included settlement losses primarily related to participants accepting the lump-sum option made in an offer to certain plan participants to elect a lump-sum payment to settle Pfizer’s pension obligation with those participants, or to elect an early annuity. (b) In 2017 and 2016, the changes to Other comprehensive (income)/loss for the international plans was impacted by foreign currency movements. For details of the changes in Other comprehensive (income)/loss, see the benefit plan activity in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The following table provides the amounts in Accumulated other comprehensive loss expected to be amortized into 2018 net periodic benefit costs: Pension Plans (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) U.S. U.S. Supplemental International Postretirement Plans Actuarial losses (a) $ (121 ) $ (16 ) $ (101 ) $ (9 ) Prior service credits and other (2 ) 1 4 181 Total $ (123 ) $ (15 ) $ (97 ) $ 172 (a) Due to the U.S. Pfizer Consolidated Pension Plan freeze effective for January 1, 2018, the average amortization period for the U.S. qualified plans and U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) plans will reflect the expected life expectancy of the plan participants, whereas prior years utilized the expected future service period of plan participants. The average amortization periods to be utilized for 2018 are 24.8 years for our U.S. qualified plans, 26.2 years for our U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) plans, 20.0 years for our international plans, and 9.7 for our postretirement plans. B. Actuarial Assumptions The following table provides the weighted-average actuarial assumptions of our benefit plans: (PERCENTAGES) 2017 2016 2015 Weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations Discount rate: U.S. qualified pension plans 3.8% 4.3% 4.5% U.S. non-qualified pension plans 3.7% 4.2% 4.5% International pension plans 2.3% 2.4% 3.1% Postretirement plans 3.7% 4.2% 4.5% Rate of compensation increase: U.S. qualified pension plans 2.8% 2.8% 2.8% U.S. non-qualified pension plans 2.8% 2.8% 2.8% International pension plans 2.5% 2.6% 2.6% Weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost Discount rate: U.S. qualified pension plans 4.3% 4.5% 4.2% U.S. non-qualified pension plans 4.2% 4.5% 4.0% International pension plans interest cost (a) 2.1% 2.7% 3.0% International pension plans service cost (a) 2.3% 3.0% 3.0% Postretirement plans 4.2% 4.5% 4.2% Expected return on plan assets: U.S. qualified pension plans 8.0% 8.0% 8.3% International pension plans 4.7% 5.2% 5.5% Postretirement plans 8.0% 8.0% 8.3% Rate of compensation increase: U.S. qualified pension plans 2.8% 2.8% 2.8% U.S. non-qualified pension plans 2.8% 2.8% 2.8% International pension plans 2.6% 2.6% 2.7% (a) Effective January 1, 2016, the Company changed the approach used to measure service cost and interest costs for certain international pension plans and other postretirement benefits. In accordance with this change, the effective rate for interest on the benefit obligations and effective rate for service cost, respectively, are reported for international pension plans. The assumptions above are used to develop the benefit obligations at fiscal year-end and to develop the net periodic benefit cost for the subsequent fiscal year. Therefore, the assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for each year are established at the end of each previous fiscal year, while the assumptions used to determine benefit obligations are established at each fiscal year-end. The net periodic benefit cost and the benefit obligations are based on actuarial assumptions that are reviewed on at least an annual basis. We revise these assumptions based on an annual evaluation of long-term trends, as well as market conditions that may have an impact on the cost of providing retirement benefits. The weighted-average discount rate for our U.S. defined benefit plans is determined annually and evaluated and modified to reflect at year-end the prevailing market rate of a portfolio of high-quality fixed income investments, rated AA/Aa or better that reflect the rates at which the pension benefits could be effectively settled. For our international plans, the discount rates are set by benchmarking against investment grade corporate bonds rated AA/Aa or better, including, when there is sufficient data, a yield curve approach. These rate determinations are made consistent with local requirements. Overall, the yield curves used to measure the benefit obligations at year-end 2017 resulted in lower discount rates as compared to the prior year. The following table provides the healthcare cost trend rate assumptions for our U.S. postretirement benefit plans: 2017 2016 Healthcare cost trend rate assumed for next year (up to age 65) 6.1 % 6.3 % Healthcare cost trend rate assumed for next year (age 65 and older) 7.0 % 7.4 % Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline 4.5 % 4.5 % Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate 2037 2037 The following table provides the effects as of December 31, 2017 of a one-percentage-point increase or decrease in the healthcare cost trend rate assumed for postretirement benefits: (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) Increase Decrease Effect on total service and interest cost components $ 3 $ (4 ) Effect on postretirement benefit obligation 47 (26 ) Actuarial and other assumptions for pension and postretirement plans can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. For a description of the risks associated with estimates and assumptions, see Note 1C . C. Obligations and Funded Status The following table provides an analysis of the changes in our benefit obligations, plan assets and funded status of our benefit plans: Year Ended December 31, Pension Plans U.S. Qualified (a) U.S. Supplemental (Non-Qualified) International (b) Postretirement Plans (c) (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2017 2016 2017 2016 2017 2016 Change in benefit obligation (d) Benefit obligation, beginning $ 15,547 $ 14,926 $ 1,450 $ 1,343 $ 9,691 $ 9,214 $ 2,254 $ 2,463 Service cost 269 257 24 18 171 165 42 41 Interest cost 634 646 54 53 204 233 90 101 Employee contributions — — — — 6 7 94 85 Plan amendments — — — — 2 (6 ) — (177 ) Changes in actuarial assumptions and other 1,614 725 110 185 135 1,273 (177 ) 22 Foreign exchange impact — — — — 760 (781 ) 5 — Acquisitions/divestitures/other, net — — — — 26 1 1 — Curtailments 11 9 — 1 — (14 ) 1 — Settlements (842 ) (449 ) (98 ) (78 ) (31 ) (45 ) — — Special termination benefits — — — — 1 1 — — Benefits paid (530 ) (568 ) (45 ) (72 ) (357 ) (358 ) (280 ) (282 ) Benefit obligation, ending (d) 16,702 15,547 1,495 1,450 10,607 9,691 2,028 2,254 Change in plan assets Fair value of plan assets, beginning 12,556 11,633 — — 7,683 7,959 458 622 Actual gain/(loss) on plan assets 2,005 939 — — 811 693 39 44 Company contributions 1,095 1,000 143 151 160 209 183 (12 ) Employee contributions — — — — 6 7 94 85 Foreign exchange impact — — — — 561 (782 ) — — Acquisitions/divestitures, net — — — — 30 (1 ) — — Settlements (842 ) (449 ) (98 ) (78 ) (31 ) (45 ) — — Benefits paid (530 ) (568 ) (45 ) (72 ) (357 ) (358 ) (280 ) (282 ) Fair value of plan assets, ending 14,284 12,556 — — 8,863 7,683 494 458 Funded status—Plan assets less than benefit obligation $ (2,418 ) $ (2,990 ) $ (1,495 ) $ (1,450 ) $ (1,745 ) $ (2,008 ) $ (1,534 ) $ (1,796 ) (a) The favorable change in the funded status of our U.S. qualified plans was primarily due to an increase in the actual return on assets, partially offset by plan losses resulting from the decrease in the discount rate at the end of 2017. (b) The favorable change in the international plans’ funded status was primarily due to an increase in the actual return on plan assets, partially offset by plan losses related to a decrease in the discount rate and unfavorable currency movements. (c) The favorable change in the funded status of our postretirement plans was primarily due to a change to reimbursements of certain benefits provided under the plan, partially offset by plan losses resulting from the decrease in the discount rate at the end of 2017. (d) For the U.S. and international pension plans, the benefit obligation is the PBO. For the postretirement plans, the benefit obligation is the ABO. The ABO for all of our U.S. qualified pension plans was $16.7 billion in 2017 and $15.4 billion in 2016 . The ABO for our U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) pension plans was $1.5 billion in 2017 and $1.4 billion in 2016 . The ABO for our international pension plans was $10.1 billion in 2017 and $9.3 billion in 2016 . The following table provides information as to how the funded status is recognized in our consolidated balance sheets: As of December 31, Pension Plans U.S. Qualified U.S. Supplemental International Postretirement (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2017 2016 2017 2016 2017 2016 Noncurrent assets (a) $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 454 $ 300 $ — $ — Current liabilities (b) — (160 ) (160 ) (152 ) (26 ) (28 ) (31 ) (30 ) Noncurrent liabilities (c) (2,418 ) (2,830 ) (1,336 ) (1,297 ) (2,172 ) (2,279 ) (1,504 ) (1,766 ) Funded status $ (2,418 ) $ (2,990 ) $ (1,495 ) $ (1,450 ) $ (1,745 ) $ (2,008 ) $ (1,534 ) $ (1,796 ) (a) Included primarily in Other noncurrent assets .

(b) Certain investments that are measured at NAV per share (or its equivalent) have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The NAV amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented for the total pension benefits plan assets. (c) Primarily includes investments in private equity, private debt, public equity limited partnerships, and, to a lesser extent, real estate and venture capital. (d) Primarily includes, for U.S. plan assets, investments in hedge funds and, to a lesser extent, real estate and, for international plan assets, investments in real estate and hedge funds. (e) Government and agency obligations are inclusive of repurchase agreements. (f) See below for a tabular analysis of the changes in Level 3 investments valued using significant unobservable inputs. (g) Reflects postretirement plan assets, which support a portion of our U.S. retiree medical plans. The following table provides an analysis of the changes in our more significant investments valued using significant unobservable inputs: Year Ended December 31, International Pension Plans Insurance contracts Other (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2017 2016 Fair value, beginning $ 254 $ 219 $ 324 $ 398 Actual return on plan assets: Assets held, ending 1 11 18 (1 ) Assets sold during the period — — 1 6 Purchases, sales and settlements, net 138 20 94 (18 ) Exchange rate changes 27 4 30 (61 ) Fair value, ending $ 420 $ 254 $ 468 $ 324 A single estimate of fair value can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. For a description of our general accounting policies associated with developing fair value estimates, see Note 1E. For a description of the risks associated with estimates and assumptions, see Note 1C. Equity securities, Fixed income securities and Other investments may each be combined into commingled funds. Most commingled funds are valued to reflect the interest in the fund based on the reported year-end NAV. Partnership and Other investments are valued based on year-end reported NAV (or its equivalent), with adjustments as appropriate for lagged reporting of up to three months. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of our pension and postretirement plans’ assets: • Cash and cash equivalents: Level 1 investments may include cash, cash equivalents and foreign currency valued using exchange rates. Level 2 investments may include short-term investment funds which are commingled funds priced at a stable NAV by the administrator of the funds. • Equity securities: Level 1 investments may include individual securities that are valued at the closing price or last trade reported on the major market on which they are traded. Level 1 and Level 2 investments may include commingled funds that have a readily determinable fair value based on quoted prices on an exchange or a published NAV derived from the quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities. Level 3 investments may include individual securities that are unlisted, delisted, suspended, or illiquid and are typically valued using their last available price. • Fixed income securities: Level 1 investments may include individual securities that are valued at the closing price or last trade reported on the major market on which they are traded. Level 2 investments may include commingled funds that have a readily determinable fair value based on observable prices of the underlying securities. Level 2 investments may include corporate bonds, government and government agency obligations and other fixed income securities valued using bid evaluation pricing models or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. Level 3 investments may include securities that are valued using alternative pricing sources, such as investment managers or brokers, which use proprietary pricing models that incorporate unobservable inputs. • Other investments: Level 1 investments may include individual securities that are valued at the closing price or last trade reported on the major market on which they are traded. Level 2 investments may include Insurance contracts which invest in interest bearing cash, U.S. government securities and corporate debt instruments. Certain investments are authorized to include derivatives, such as equity or bond futures, swaps, options and currency futures or forwards for managing risks and exposures. The following table provides the long-term target asset allocations ranges and the percentage of the fair value of plan assets for benefit plans: As of December 31, Target Allocation Percentage Percentage of Plan Assets (PERCENTAGES) 2017 2017 2016 U.S. qualified pension plans Cash and cash equivalents 0-10% 4.6 % 5.3 % Equity securities 35-55% 37.5 % 40.1 % Fixed income securities 30-55% 39.6 % 34.9 % Other investments (a) 5-17.5% 18.3 % 19.7 % Total 100 % 100 % 100 % International pension plans Cash and cash equivalents 0-10% 4.3 % 5.7 % Equity securities 25-50% 34.4 % 34.7 % Fixed income securities 30-55% 39.3 % 40.2 % Other investments 10-30% 21.9 % 19.4 % Total 100 % 100 % 100 % U.S. postretirement plans Cash and cash equivalents 0-5% — — Equity securities — — — Fixed income securities — — — Other investments 95-100% 100 % 100 % Total 100 % 100 % 100 % (a) Actual percentage of plan assets in Other investments for 2017 includes $215 million , as compared to $235 million in 2016, related to a group fixed annuity insurance contract that was executed by legacy Wyeth for certain members of its defined benefit plans prior to Pfizer acquiring the company in 2009, and $253 million in 2017, as compared to $144 million in 2016, related to an investment in a partnership whose primary holdings are public equity securities. Global plan assets are managed with the objective of generating returns that will enable the plans to meet their future obligations, while seeking to manage net periodic benefit costs and cash contributions over the long-term. We utilize long-term asset allocation ranges in the management of our plans’ invested assets. Our long-term return expectations are developed based on a diversified, global investment strategy that takes into account historical experience, as well as the impact of portfolio diversification, active portfolio management, and our view of current and future economic and financial market conditions. As market conditions and other factors change, we may adjust our targets accordingly and our asset allocations may vary from the target allocations. Our long-term asset allocation ranges reflect our asset class return expectations and tolerance for investment risk within the context of the respective plans’ long-term benefit obligations. These ranges are supported by analysis that incorporates historical and expected returns by asset class, as well as volatilities and correlations across asset classes and our liability profile. Each pension plan is overseen by a local committee or board that is responsible for the overall investment of the pension plan assets. In determining investment policies and associated target allocations, each committee or board considers a wide variety of factors. As such, the target asset allocation for each of our international pension plans is set on a standalone basis by the relevant board or committee. The target asset allocation ranges shown for the international pension plans seek to reflect the combined target allocations across all such plans, while also showing the range within which the target allocations for each plan typically falls. The investment managers of certain separately managed accounts, commingled funds and private equity funds may be permitted to use repurchase agreements and derivative securities, including U.S. Treasury and equity futures contracts as described in each respective investment management, subscription, partnership or other governing agreement. E. Cash Flows It is our practice to fund amounts for our qualified pension plans that are at least sufficient to meet the minimum requirements set forth in applicable employee benefit laws and local tax laws. The following table provides the expected future cash flow information related to our benefit plans: Pension Plans (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) U.S. Qualified U.S. Supplemental (Non-Qualified) International Postretirement Plans Expected employer contributions: 2018 (a) $ 500 $ 160 $ 226 $ 167 Expected benefit payments: 2018 $ 1,225 $ 160 $ 368 $ 173 2019 1,071 129 373 179 2020 1,087 128 385 181 2021 1,059 122 394 179 2022 1,032 123 401 173 2023–2027 4,865 513 2,101 802 (a) For the U.S. qualified plans, a $500 million voluntary contribution was paid in February 2018. The above table reflects the total U.S. and international plan benefits projected to be paid from the plans or from our general assets under the current actuarial assumptions used for the calculation of the benefit obligation and, therefore, actual benefit payments may differ from projected benefit payments. F. Defined Contribution Plans We have defined contribution plans in the U.S. and several other countries. For the majority of the U.S. defined contribution plans, employees may contribute a portion of their salaries and bonuses to the plans, and we match, in cash, a portion of the employee contributions. Beginning on January 1, 2011, for newly hired non-union employees, rehires and transfers to the U.S. or Puerto Rico, we no longer offer a defined benefit pension plan and, instead, offer a Retirement Savings Contribution (RSC) in the defined contribution plan. The RSC is an annual non-contributory employer contribution (that is not dependent upon the participant making a contribution) determined based on each employee’s eligible compensation, age and years of service. Beginning on January 1, 2018, all non-union employees in the U.S. and Puerto Rico defined benefit plans transitioned to the RSC in the defined contribution plans. We recorded charges related to the employer contributions to global defined contribution plans of $380 million in 2017 , $317 million in 2016 and $287 million in 2015 . |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Equity | Equity A. Common Stock We purchase our common stock through privately negotiated transactions or in open market purchases as circumstances and prices warrant. Purchased shares under each of the share-purchase plans, which are authorized by our Board of Directors, are available for general corporate purposes. On June 27, 2013, we announced that the Board of Directors had authorized a $10 billion share-purchase plan, which was exhausted in the first quarter of 2015. On October 23, 2014, we announced that the Board of Directors had authorized an additional $11 billion share repurchase program, which was exhausted in the first quarter of 2017. In December 2015, the Board of Directors authorized a new $11 billion share repurchase program (the December 2015 Stock Purchase Plan) to be utilized over time, and share repurchases commenced thereunder in the first quarter of 2017. In December 2017, the Board of Directors authorized a new $10 billion share repurchase program to be utilized over time. This new program is in addition to the $6.4 billion remaining under the December 2015 Stock Purchase Plan as of December 31, 2017. On February 9, 2015, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with GS&Co. to repurchase shares of our common stock. This agreement was entered into under our previously announced share repurchase authorization. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, on February 11, 2015, we paid $5 billion to GS&Co. and received approximately 151 million shares of our common stock from GS&Co. On July 2, 2015, the accelerated share repurchase agreement with GS&Co. was completed, which, per the terms of the agreement, resulted in us owing GS&Co. a certain number of shares of Pfizer common stock or its equivalent dollar value. Pursuant to the agreement’s settlement terms, we elected to settle this amount in cash and paid an additional $160 million to GS&Co. on July 13, 2015, resulting in a total of approximately $5.2 billion paid to GS&Co. The final average price paid for the shares delivered under the accelerated share repurchase agreement was $34.13 per share. On March 8, 2016, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with GS&Co. to repurchase $5 billion of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, on March 10, 2016, we paid $5 billion to GS&Co. and received an initial delivery of approximately 136 million shares of our common stock from GS&Co. based on a price of $29.36 per share, which represented, based on the closing share price of our common stock on the NYSE on March 8, 2016, approximately 80% of the notional amount of the accelerated share repurchase agreement. On June 20, 2016, the accelerated share repurchase agreement with GS&Co. was completed, which, per the terms of the agreement, resulted in GS&Co. owing us a certain number of shares of Pfizer common stock. Pursuant to the agreement’s settlement terms, we received an additional 18 million shares of our common stock from GS&Co. on June 20, 2016. The average price paid for all of the shares delivered under the accelerated share repurchase agreement was $32.38 per share. The common stock received is included in Treasury stock . This agreement was entered into pursuant to our previously announced share repurchase authorization. On February 2, 2017, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with Citibank to repurchase $5 billion of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, on February 6, 2017, we paid $5 billion to Citibank and received an initial delivery of approximately 126 million shares of our common stock from Citibank at a price of $31.73 per share, which represented, based on the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on February 2, 2017, approximately 80% of the notional amount of the accelerated share repurchase agreement. On May 16, 2017, the accelerated share repurchase agreement with Citibank was completed, which, per the terms of the agreement, resulted in Citibank owing us a certain number of shares of Pfizer common stock. Pursuant to the agreement’s settlement terms, we received an additional 24 million shares of our common stock from Citibank on May 19, 2017. The average price paid for all of the shares delivered under the accelerated share repurchase agreement was $33.31 per share. The common stock received is included in Treasury Stock . This agreement was entered into pursuant to our previously announced share repurchase authorization. The following table provides the number of shares of our common stock purchased and the cost of purchases under our publicly announced share-purchase plans, including our accelerated share repurchase agreements: (SHARES IN MILLIONS, DOLLARS IN BILLIONS) 2017 (a) 2016 (b) 2015 (c) Shares of common stock purchased 150 154 182 Cost of purchase $ 5.0 $ 5.0 $ 6.2 (a) Represents shares purchased pursuant to the accelerated share repurchase agreement with Citibank entered into on February 2, 2017. See above for additional information. (b) Represents shares purchased pursuant to the accelerated share repurchase agreement entered into on March 8, 2016. See above for additional information. (c) Includes approximately 151 million shares purchased for $5.2 billion pursuant to the accelerated share repurchase agreement entered into on February 9, 2015 (see above for additional information), as well as other share repurchases through year-end 2015. At December 31, 2017 , our remaining share-purchase authorization was approximately $16.4 billion . B. Preferred Stock The Series A convertible perpetual preferred stock is held by an employee stock ownership plan (Preferred ESOP) Trust and provides dividends at the rate of 6.25% , which are accumulated and paid quarterly. The per-share stated value is $40,300 and the preferred stock ranks senior to our common stock as to dividends and liquidation rights. Each share is convertible, at the holder’s option, into 2,574.87 shares of our common stock with equal voting rights. The conversion option is indexed to our common stock and requires share settlement, and, therefore, is reported at the fair value at the date of issuance. We may redeem the preferred stock at any time or upon termination of the Preferred ESOP, at our option, in cash, in shares of common stock, or a combination of both at a price of $40,300 per share. C. Employee Stock Ownership Plans We have two employee stock ownership plans (collectively, the ESOPs), the Preferred ESOP and another that holds common stock of the Company (Common ESOP). Allocated shares held by the Common ESOP, including reinvested dividends, are considered outstanding for EPS calculations and the eventual conversion of allocated preferred shares held by the Preferred ESOP are assumed in the diluted EPS calculation. As of December 31, 2017 , the Preferred ESOP held preferred shares convertible into approximately 1 million shares of our common stock, and the Common ESOP held approximately 51 million shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2017 , all shares of preferred and common stock held by the ESOPs have been allocated to the Pfizer U.S. defined contribution plan participants. The compensation cost related to the Common ESOP was $11 million in 2017 , $9 million in 2016 and $8 million in 2015 . Prior to 2015, Pfizer matching contributions were primarily invested in the Common ESOP. Beginning in January 2015, Pfizer matching contributions are being invested based on the investment direction of the employees’ own contributions. As a result, the compensation cost related to the Common ESOP was significantly lower after 2014. |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Share-Based Payments | Share-Based Payments Our compensation programs can include share-based payments. The award value is determined by reference to the fair value of share-based awards to similar employees in competitive survey data or industry peer groups used for compensation purposes; and is allocated between different long-term incentive vehicles, in the form of RSUs, PPSs, TSRUs, stock options, PSAs, PTSRUs and PTUs, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The 2014 Stock Plan (2014 Plan) replaced and superseded the 2004 Plan, as amended and restated. The 2014 Plan provides for 520 million shares to be authorized for grants, plus any shares remaining available for grant under the 2004 Plan as of April 24, 2014 (the carryforward shares). In addition, the 2014 Plan provides that the number of stock options, Stock Appreciation Rights (known as TSRUs and PTSRUs), RSUs, or other performance-based awards that may be granted to any one individual during any 36-month period is limited to 20 million shares, and that RSUs, PPSs and PSAs count as three shares, while TSRUs, PTSRUs and stock options count as one share, toward the maximum shares available under the 2014 plan. The 2004 Plan provided that the number of stock options, TSRUs or other performance-based awards granted to any one individual during any 36-month period was limited to 8 million shares, and that RSUs, PPSs and PSAs counted against the maximum available shares as two shares, while stock options and TSRUs counted as one share. As of December 31, 2017 , 290 million shares were available for award. Although not required to do so, we have used authorized and unissued shares and, to a lesser extent, treasury stock to satisfy our obligations under these programs. A. Impact on Net Income The following table provides the components of share-based compensation expense and the associated tax benefit: Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 Restricted Stock Units $ 301 $ 299 $ 306 Total Shareholder Return Units 221 134 36 Portfolio Performance Shares 209 135 147 Stock Options 55 106 165 Performance Share Awards 47 13 11 Directors’ compensation 7 4 4 Share-based payment expense 840 691 669 Tax benefit for share-based compensation expense (a) (163 ) (205 ) (198 ) Share-based payment expense, net of tax $ 677 $ 486 $ 471 (a) 2017 includes the impact of the TCJA on income taxes. Amounts capitalized as part of inventory cost were not significant for any period presented. B. Restricted Stock Units RSUs are awarded to select employees and, when vested, entitle the holder to receive a specified number of shares of our common stock, including shares resulting from dividend equivalents paid on such RSUs. For RSUs granted during the periods presented, in virtually all instances, the units vest after three years of continuous service from the grant date. We measure the value of RSU grants as of the grant date using the closing price of our common stock. The values determined through this fair value methodology generally are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term into Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses , and/or Research and development expenses , as appropriate. The following table summarizes all RSU activity during 2017: Shares (Thousands) Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share Nonvested, December 31, 2016 29,605 $ 32.59 Granted 9,669 34.05 Vested (a) (16,677 ) 33.41 Reinvested dividend equivalents 1,106 33.41 Forfeited (1,463 ) 32.77 Nonvested, December 31, 2017 22,241 $ 32.64 (a) Includes the modification for a commitment to pay 6.4 million RSUs to approximately 9,900 employees, including senior and key management employees, for the 6.6 million RSUs scheduled for near-term vesting. There was no material impact to compensation expense due to the modification. The following table provides data related to all RSU activity: (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Total fair value of shares vested (a) $ 584 $ 293 $ 371 Total compensation cost related to nonvested RSU awards not yet recognized, pre-tax $ 254 $ 262 $ 279 Weighted-average period over which RSU cost is expected to be recognized (years) 1.7 1.7 1.8 (a) Includes the modification for a commitment to pay 6.4 million RSUs to approximately 9,900 employees, including senior and key management employees, for the 6.6 million RSUs scheduled for near-term vesting. There was no material impact to compensation expense due to the modification. C. Stock Options Stock options are awarded to select employees and, when vested, entitle the holder to purchase a specified number of shares of our common stock at a price per share equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Beginning in 2016, only a limited set of overseas employees received stock option grants. No stock options were awarded to senior and other key management in any period presented; however, stock options were awarded to certain other employees. In virtually all instances, stock options granted since 2005 vest after three years of continuous service from the grant date and have a contractual term of 10 years. In most cases, stock options must be held for at least one year from the grant date before any vesting may occur. In the event of a sale of business or plant closing or restructuring, options held by employees are immediately vested and are exercisable for a period from three months to their remaining term, depending on various conditions. We measure the value of stock option grants as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The values determined through this fair value methodology generally are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term into Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses , and/or Research and development expenses , as appropriate. The following table provides the weighted-average assumptions used in the valuation of stock options: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Expected dividend yield (a) 3.69 % 3.85 % 3.19 % Risk-free interest rate (b) 2.23 % 1.55 % 1.89 % Expected stock price volatility (c) 18.39 % 21.64 % 18.34 % Expected term (years) (d) 6.75 6.75 6.75 (a) Determined using a constant dividend yield during the expected term of the option. (b) Determined using the interpolated yield on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues. (c) Determined using implied volatility, after consideration of historical volatility. (d) Determined using historical exercise and post-vesting termination patterns. The following table summarizes all stock option activity during 2017: Shares (Thousands) Weighted-Average Exercise Price Per Share Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (a) (Millions) Outstanding, December 31, 2016 186,676 $ 26.86 Granted 1,375 34.06 Exercised (34,686 ) 24.94 Forfeited (1,208 ) 34.26 Expired (1,400 ) 30.78 Outstanding, December 31, 2017 150,757 27.27 5.1 $ 1,350 Vested and expected to vest, December 31, 2017 (b) 150,368 27.25 5.1 1,349 Exercisable, December 31, 2017 108,747 $ 24.49 4.3 $ 1,276 (a) Market price of our underlying common stock less exercise price. (b) The number of options expected to vest takes into account an estimate of expected forfeitures. The following table summarizes data related to all stock option activity: Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, EXCEPT PER STOCK OPTION AMOUNTS) 2017 2016 2015 Weighted-average grant-date fair value per stock option $ 4.01 $ 3.89 $ 4.30 Aggregate intrinsic value on exercise $ 331 $ 389 $ 666 Cash received upon exercise $ 862 $ 1,019 $ 1,263 Tax benefits realized related to exercise $ 95 $ 112 $ 187 Total compensation cost related to nonvested stock options not yet recognized, pre-tax $ 10 $ 58 $ 159 Weighted-average period over which stock option compensation cost is expected to be recognized (years) 0.8 1.1 1.8 D. Portfolio Performance Shares PPSs are awards granted to select employees which, when vested, entitle the holder to receive, at the end of the performance period, a number of shares within a possible range of shares of our common stock, including shares resulting from dividend equivalents paid on such shares. For PPSs granted during the period presented, the awards vest after three years of continuous service from the grant date and the number of shares paid, if any, depends on the achievement of predetermined goals related to Pfizer’s long-term product portfolio during a 5-year performance period from the year of the grant date. The number of shares that may be earned over the performance period ranges from 0% to 200% of the initial award. We measure the value of PPS grants as of the grant date using the intrinsic value method, for which we use the closing price of our common stock. The values are amortized on a straight-line basis over the probable vesting term into Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses and/or Research and development expenses, as appropriate, and adjusted each reporting period, as necessary, to reflect changes in the price of Pfizer’s common stock, changes in the number of shares that are probable of being earned and changes in management’s assessment of the probability that the specified performance criteria will be achieved and/or changes in management’s assessment of the probable vesting term. The following table summarizes all PPS activity during 2017, with the shares representing the maximum award that could be achieved: Shares (Thousands) Weighted-Average Intrinsic Value Per Share Nonvested, December 31, 2016 22,266 $ 32.48 Granted 7,013 34.06 Vested (7,196 ) 34.28 Forfeited (1,110 ) 33.62 Nonvested, December 31, 2017 (a) 20,973 $ 36.22 (a) Vested and non-vested shares outstanding, but not paid as of December 31, 2017 were 35.0 million . Included in this amount is the modification for a commitment to pay 5.7 million PPSs to approximately 2,800 employees, including senior and key management employees, for the 5.9 million PPSs scheduled for near-term settlement. There was no material impact to compensation expense due to the modification. The following table provides data related to all PPS activity: (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Total fair value of shares vested $ 131 $ 118 $ 60 Total compensation cost related to nonvested PPS awards not yet recognized, pre-tax $ 94 $ 93 $ 102 Weighted-average period over which PPS cost is expected to be recognized (years) 1.7 1.8 1.7 E. Total Shareholder Return Units TSRUs are awarded to senior and other key management, and, beginning in 2016, to certain other employees. TSRUs entitle the holders to receive a number of shares of our common stock with a value equal to the difference between the defined settlement price and the grant price, plus the dividends accumulated during the five-year or seven-year term, if and to the extent the total value is positive. The settlement price is the average closing price of our common stock during the 20 trading days ending on the fifth or seventh anniversary of the grant, as applicable; the grant price is the closing price of our common stock on the date of the grant. The TSRUs are automatically settled on the fifth or seventh anniversary of the grant but vest on the third anniversary of the grant, after which time there is no longer a substantial risk of forfeiture. On October 26, 2016, the Compensation Committee approved the modification of current outstanding grants of TSRU awards, effective November 1, 2016, to permit a holder who is "retiree eligible" (at least age 55 with at least 10 years of service), to elect to exercise and convert his/her TSRUs when vested, into PTUs. The value received upon the election and conversion is calculated by taking the change in stock price ( 20 trading day average ending on the exercise date (Election Price) less the grant price) plus accumulated dividends from the grant date, times the number of TSRUs exercised. This value is divided by the Election Price to determine the number of PTUs. The PTUs will be entitled to earn Dividend Equivalent Units (DEUs), and the PTUs and DEUs will be settled in our common stock on the TSRUs original settlement date (i.e., the fifth or seventh anniversary of grant), and will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the original grant including forfeiture provisions. This modification applied to approximately 2,900 employees, including members of senior management. There was no incremental compensation cost resulting from the modification. In 2017, TSRUs were granted with the right for retirement-eligible employees to elect to exercise and convert their TSRUs, when vested, into PTUs. We measure the value of TSRU grants as of the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The values determined through this fair value methodology generally are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term into Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses , and/or Research and development expenses , as appropriate. The following table provides the weighted-average assumptions used in the valuation of TSRUs: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Expected dividend yield (a) 3.69 % 3.85 % 3.19 % Risk-free interest rate (b) 1.98 % 1.31 % 1.76 % Expected stock price volatility (c) 18.39 % 21.64 % 18.41 % Contractual term (years) 5.11 5.12 5.91 (a) Determined using a constant dividend yield during the expected term of the TSRU.

This includes the modification for a commitment to pay 7.0 million TSRUs to approximately 150 employees, including senior and key management employees, for the 7.2 million TSRUs scheduled for near-term settlement. There was no material impact to compensation expense due to the modification. (b) In 2017 , 46,278 TSRUs with a weighted-average grant price of $22.65 per unit were converted into 24,602 PTUs. (c) This includes the modification for a commitment to pay 7.0 million TSRUs to approximately 150 employees, including senior and key management employees, for the 7.2 million TSRUs scheduled for near-term settlement. There was no material impact to compensation expense due to the modification. (d) The number of TSRUs expected to vest takes into account an estimate of expected forfeitures. (e) Includes the modification for a commitment to pay 17,000 PTUs to a few employees, including senior and key management employees, for the 17,000 PTUs scheduled for near-term settlement. There was no material impact to compensation expense due to the modification. The following table provides data related to all TSRU activity: Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, EXCEPT PER TSRU AMOUNTS) 2017 2016 2015 Weighted-average grant-date fair value per TSRU $ 6.23 $ 5.83 $ 6.66 Total compensation cost related to nonvested TSRU grants not yet recognized, pre-tax $ 232 $ 164 $ 29 Weighted-average period over which TSRU cost is expected to be recognized (years) 1.7 1.9 1.8 F. Performance Share Awards PSAs are awarded to senior and other key management. PSAs vest after three years of continuous service from the grant date. The number of shares paid, if any, including shares resulting from dividend equivalents, for awards granted in 2015 and later, depends upon the achievement of predetermined goals related to two measures: (i) operating income over three one-year periods; and (ii) TSR as compared to the NYSE ARCA Pharmaceutical Index (DRG Index) over the three-year performance period. The number of shares paid from awards granted in 2014 depends upon the achievement of predetermined goals related to Pfizer's TSR as compared to an industry peer group, for the three-year performance period from the year of the grant date. The number of shares that are earned over the performance period ranges from 0% to 200% of the initial award. We measure the value of PSA grants as of the grant date using the intrinsic value method, for which we use the closing price of our common stock. The values are amortized on a straight-line basis over the probable vesting term into Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses , and/or Research and development expenses , as appropriate, and adjusted each reporting period, as necessary, to reflect changes in the price of Pfizer’s common stock, changes in the number of shares that are probable of being earned and changes in management’s assessment of the probability that the specified performance criteria will be achieved. The following table summarizes all PSA activity during 2017, with the shares granted representing the maximum award that could be achieved: Shares (Thousands) Weighted-Average Intrinsic Value Per Share Nonvested, December 31, 2016 4,546 $ 32.48 Granted 1,753 34.06 Vested (a) (1,639 ) 35.65 Forfeited (635 ) 34.16 Nonvested, December 31, 2017 4,024 $ 36.22 (a) Includes the modification for a commitment to pay 1.1 million PSAs to approximately 90 employees, including senior and key management employees, for the 1.1 million PSAs scheduled for near-term vesting. There was no material impact to compensation expense due to the modification.

There was no material impact to compensation expense due to the modification. G. Performance Total Shareholder Return Units PTSRUs were awarded to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Group President, Pfizer Essential Health. These awards were granted in connection with our announcement on November 13, 2017, that our Group President, Pfizer Innovative Health, had been appointed Chief Operating Officer of Pfizer effective January 1, 2018. We also announced that effective January 1, 2018, the Group President, Pfizer Essential Health, had been appointed Group President, Pfizer Innovative Health. In addition to having the same characteristics of TSRUs, PTSRUs require special service and performance conditions. On December 29, 2017, 1,372,213 PTSRUs were granted to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and 343,053 PTSRUs were granted to the new head of Innovative Health at a grant price of $36.22 and a grant-date fair value of $5.83 . We measure the value of PTSRU grants as of the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The values determined through this fair value methodology generally are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term into Selling, informational and administrative expenses as appropriate.

Insurance Coverage [Abstract] | |
Insurance | Insurance Our insurance coverage reflects market conditions (including cost and availability) existing at the time it is written, and our decision to obtain insurance coverage or to self-insure varies accordingly. Depending upon the cost and availability of insurance and the nature of the risk involved, the amount of self-insurance may be significant. The cost and availability of coverage have resulted in self-insuring certain exposures, including product liability. If we incur substantial liabilities that are not covered by insurance or substantially exceed insurance coverage and that are in excess of existing accruals, there could be a material adverse effect on our cash flows or results of operations in the period in which the amounts are paid and/or accrued (see Note 17 ). |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies We and certain of our subsidiaries are subject to numerous contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. For a discussion of our tax contingencies, see Note 5D. Pending approval in the EU of Mylotarg––Mylotarg was developed, in part, through a research arrangement with a third party. If Mylotarg is approved in the EU in 2018 for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia, we will incur an obligation for additional fixed payments over a 10-year period aggregating $310 million . A. Legal Proceedings Our non-tax contingencies include, but are not limited to, the following: • Patent litigation, which typically involves challenges to the coverage and/or validity of patents on various products, processes or dosage forms. We are the plaintiff in the vast majority of these actions. An adverse outcome in actions in which we are the plaintiff could result in loss of patent protection for a drug, a significant loss of revenues from that drug or impairment of the value of associated assets. • Product liability and other product-related litigation, which can include personal injury, consumer, off-label promotion, securities, antitrust and breach of contract claims, among others, often involves highly complex issues relating to medical causation, label warnings and reliance on those warnings, scientific evidence and findings, actual, provable injury and other matters. • Commercial and other matters, which can include merger-related and product-pricing claims and environmental claims and proceedings, can involve complexities that will vary from matter to matter. • Government investigations, which often are related to the extensive regulation of pharmaceutical companies by national, state and local government agencies in the U.S. and in other countries. Certain of these contingencies could result in losses, including damages, fines and/or civil penalties, and/or criminal charges, which could be substantial. We believe that our claims and defenses in these matters are substantial, but litigation is inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur. We do not believe that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. However, we could incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of certain matters, and such developments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the amounts are accrued and/or our cash flows in the period in which the amounts are paid. We have accrued for losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Substantially all of our contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss can be complex. Consequently, we are unable to estimate the range of reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts accrued. Our assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but the assessment process relies heavily on estimates and assumptions that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause us to change those estimates and assumptions. Amounts recorded for legal and environmental contingencies can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The principal pending matters to which we are a party are discussed below. In determining whether a pending matter is a principal matter, we consider both quantitative and qualitative factors in order to assess materiality, such as, among other things, the amount of damages and the nature of any other relief sought in the proceeding, if such damages and other relief are specified; our view of the merits of the claims and of the strength of our defenses; whether the action purports to be, or is, a class action and, if not certified, our view of the likelihood that a class will be certified by the court; the jurisdiction in which the proceeding is pending; any experience that we or, to our knowledge, other companies have had in similar proceedings; whether disclosure of the action would be important to a reader of our financial statements, including whether disclosure might change a reader’s judgment about our financial statements in light of all of the information that is available to the reader; the potential impact of the proceeding on our reputation; and the extent of public interest in the matter. In addition, with respect to patent matters in which we are the plaintiff, we consider, among other things, the financial significance of the product protected by the patent. As a result of considering qualitative factors in our determination of principal matters, there are some matters discussed below with respect to which management believes that the likelihood of possible loss in excess of amounts accrued is remote. A1. Legal Proceedings––Patent Litigation Like other pharmaceutical companies, we are involved in numerous suits relating to our patents, including but not limited to, those discussed below. Most of the suits involve claims by generic drug manufacturers that patents covering our products, processes or dosage forms are invalid and/or do not cover the product of the generic drug manufacturer. Also, counterclaims, as well as various independent actions, have been filed alleging that our assertions of, or attempts to enforce, patent rights with respect to certain products constitute unfair competition and/or violations of antitrust laws. In addition to the challenges to the U.S. patents on a number of our products that are discussed below, patent rights to certain of our products are being challenged in various other countries. We are also party to other patent damages suits in various jurisdictions pursuant to which generic drug manufacturers, payers, governments or other parties are seeking damages from us for alleged delay of generic entry. Additionally, our licensing and collaboration partners face challenges by generic drug manufacturers to patents covering products for which we have licenses or co-promotion rights. We also are often involved in other proceedings, such as inter partes review, post-grant review, re-examination or opposition proceedings, before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the European Patent Office, or other foreign counterparts relating to our intellectual property or the intellectual property rights of others. Also, if one of our patents is found to be invalid by such proceedings, generic or competitive products could be introduced into the market resulting in the erosion of sales of our existing products. For example, several of the patents in our pneumococcal vaccine portfolio have been challenged in inter partes review and post-grant review proceedings in the United States. The invalidation of these patents could potentially allow a competitor pneumococcal vaccine into the marketplace. We are also subject to patent litigation pursuant to which one or more third parties seeks damages and/or injunctive relief to compensate for alleged infringement of its patents by our commercial or other activities. For example, our subsidiary, Hospira, is involved in patent and patent-related disputes over its attempts to bring generic pharmaceutical and biosimilar products to market. If one of our marketed products is found to infringe valid patent rights of a third party, such third party may be awarded significant damages, or we may be prevented from further sales of that product. Such damages may be enhanced as much as three-fold in the event that we or one of our subsidiaries, like Hospira, is found to have willfully infringed valid patent rights of a third party. Actions In Which We Are The Plaintiff Bosulif (bosutinib) In December 2016, Wyeth LLC, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals Inc., and PF Prism C.V. (collectively, Wyeth) brought a patent-infringement action against Alembic Pharmaceuticals, Ltd, Alembic Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively, Alembic), Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc., and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (collectively, Sun), in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in connection with abbreviated new drug applications respectively filed with the FDA by Alembic and Sun, each seeking approval to market generic versions of bosutinib. Alembic is challenging patents, which expire in 2026, covering polymorphic forms of bosutinib and methods of treating chronic myelogenous leukemia. Sun is challenging the patent covering polymorphic forms of bosutinib that expires in 2026. In March 2017, Wyeth brought a patent-infringement action against MSN Laboratories Private Limited and MSN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively, MSN), in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in connection with an abbreviated new drug application filed with the FDA by MSN, seeking approval to market a generic version of bosutinib, and challenging a patent expiring in 2026 covering polymorphic forms of bosutinib. In September 2017, the case against MSN was dismissed. Also, in September 2017, Wyeth brought an additional patent-infringement action against Sun in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the infringement and validity of two other patents challenged by Sun, which expire in 2025 and 2026 respectively, covering compositions of bosutinib and methods of treating chronic myelogenous leukemia. EpiPen In July 2010, King, which we acquired in 2011 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary, brought a patent-infringement action against Sandoz in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in connection with Sandoz’s abbreviated new drug application filed with the FDA seeking approval to market an epinephrine injectable product. Sandoz is challenging patents, which expire in 2025, covering the next-generation autoinjector for use with epinephrine that is sold under the EpiPen brand name. Precedex Premix In June 2014, Ben Venue Laboratories, Inc. (Ben Venue) notified our subsidiary, Hospira, that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Hospira’s premix version of Precedex and containing allegations that a patent relating to the use of Precedex in an intensive care unit setting, which expires in March 2019, was invalid or not infringed. In August 2014, Hospira and Orion Corporation (co-owner of the patent that is the subject of the lawsuit) filed suit against Ben Venue, Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC (Hikma), and West-Ward Pharmaceutical Corp. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the validity and infringement of the patent. In October 2014, Eurohealth International Sarl was substituted for Ben Venue and Hikma. In June 2016, this case was settled on terms not material to Pfizer. In June 2015, Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC (Amneal) notified Hospira that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Hospira’s premix version of Precedex and containing allegations that four patents relating to the Precedex premix formulations and their use, all of which expire in 2032, were invalid or not infringed. In August 2015, Hospira filed suit against Amneal in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the validity and infringement of the patents that are the subject of the lawsuit. In January 2018, the District Court ruled that one of the four patents was valid and infringed, and that the other three patents were invalid. In December 2015, Fresenius Kabi USA LLC (Fresenius) notified Hospira that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Hospira’s premix version of Precedex and containing allegations that four patents relating to the Precedex premix formulations and their use, all of which expire in 2032, were invalid or not infringed. In January 2016, Hospira filed suit against Fresenius in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois asserting the validity and infringement of the patents that are the subject of the lawsuit. In August 2016, Par Sterile Products, LLC (Par) notified Hospira that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Hospira’s premix version of Precedex and containing allegations that four patents relating to the Precedex premix formulations and their use, all of which expire in 2032, were invalid or not infringed. In September 2016, Hospira filed suit against Par in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the validity and infringement of the patents that are the subject of the lawsuit. In December 2016, the case was stayed pending the outcome of Hospira’s suit against Amneal (including all appeals). Toviaz (fesoterodine) We have an exclusive, worldwide license to market Toviaz from UCB Pharma GmbH (UCB), which owns the patents relating to Toviaz. Beginning in May 2013, several generic drug manufacturers notified us that they had filed abbreviated new drug applications with the FDA seeking approval to market generic versions of Toviaz and asserting the invalidity, unenforceability and/or non-infringement of all of our patents for Toviaz that are listed in the FDA’s list of Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly referred to as the “Orange Book”. Beginning in June 2013, we filed actions against all of those generic drug manufacturers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, asserting the infringement of five of the patents for Toviaz: three composition-of-matter patents and a method-of-use patent that expire in 2019 and a patent covering salts of fesoterodine that expires in 2022. In June and July 2015, we settled with four of the generic defendants. The trial relating to the four remaining defendants occurred in July 2015. In April 2016, the District Court held that the patents that were the subject of the lawsuit were valid and infringed. The defendants’ deadline to appeal this decision expired in June 2016. In December 2014, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Mylan Pharmaceuticals) notified us that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Toviaz and asserting the invalidity, unenforceability and/or non-infringement of all of our patents for Toviaz that are listed in the Orange Book. In January 2015, we filed an action against Mylan Pharmaceuticals in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, asserting the infringement of five of the patents for Toviaz: three composition-of-matter patents and a method-of-use patent that expire in 2019 and a patent covering salts of fesoterodine that expires in 2022. In January 2017, the District Court issued a verdict finding that the five patents that are the subject of the lawsuit are valid and infringed. In August 2017, the District Court issued a written decision consistent with the verdict, finding the five patents valid and infringed. In September 2017, Mylan Pharmaceuticals appealed the District Court’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In January 2018, Mylan Pharmaceuticals withdrew its appeal. Xeljanz (tofacitinib) In February 2017, we brought a patent-infringement action against MicroLabs USA Inc. and MicroLabs Ltd. (collectively, MicroLabs) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the infringement and validity of three patents challenged by MicroLabs in its abbreviated new drug application seeking approval to market a generic version of tofacitinib 5 mg tablets. Of the three patents that are the subject of the lawsuit, one covers the active ingredient and expires in December 2025, the second covers an enantiomer of tofacitinib and expires in 2022, and the third covers a polymorphic form of tofacitinib and expires in 2023. Three other patents for Xeljanz expiring in December 2020 have not been challenged by MicroLabs. Separately, also in February 2017, we brought a patent-infringement action against Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the infringement and validity of our patent covering a polymorphic form of tofacitinib, expiring in 2023, that was challenged by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. in its abbreviated new drug application seeking approval to market a generic version of tofacitinib 11 mg extended release tablets. In November 2017, we brought an additional patent-infringement action against Sun Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the infringement and validity of another patent challenged by Sun Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd, which covers the active ingredient and expires in December 2025. In March 2017, we brought a patent-infringement action against Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. and Cadila Healthcare Ltd. (collectively, Zydus) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the infringement and validity of the same three patents that are the subject of the action against MicroLabs, which Zydus challenged in its abbreviated new drug application seeking approval to market a generic version of tofacitinib 5 mg tablets. Also in March 2017, we brought separate actions in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Prinston Pharmaceutical Inc., Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Huahai US Inc. and Solco Healthcare US, LLC (collectively Prinston) and against Breckenridge Pharmaceutical Inc., Pensa Pharma S.A. and Laboratorios Del Dr. Esteve, S.A. (collectively Breckenridge) on the two patents expiring in 2022 and 2023, respectively, that were challenged by Prinston and Breckenridge in their respective abbreviated new drug applications seeking approval to market generic versions of tofacitinib 5 mg tablets. In October 2017, we brought an additional patent-infringement action against Breckenridge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the infringement and validity of four additional patents challenged by Breckenridge, three of which expire in December 2020 and one of which expires in December 2025. Xtandi (enzalutamide) In December 2016, Medivation and Medivation Prostate Therapeutics, Inc. (collectively, the Medivation Group); Astellas Pharma Inc., Astellas US LLC and Astellas Pharma US, Inc. (collectively, Astellas); and The Regents of the University of California filed patent-infringement suits in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Actavis Laboratories FL, Inc. and Actavis LLC (collectively, Actavis); Zydus; and Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (collectively, Apotex) in connection with those companies’ respective abbreviated new drug applications filed with the FDA for approval to market generic versions of enzalutamide. The generic manufacturers are challenging patents, which expire as early as 2026, covering enzalutamide and treatments for prostate cancer. In May 2017, the Medivation Group filed a patent-infringement suit against Roxane Laboratories Inc. (Roxane) in the same court in connection with Roxane’s abbreviated new drug application with the FDA for approval to market a generic version of enzalutamide. Matters Involving Our Collaboration/Licensing Partners Toviaz (fesoterodine)––Inter-Partes Reviews In January 2016, Mylan Pharmaceuticals and Mylan Laboratories (collectively, Mylan) filed petitions with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office requesting inter partes reviews of five of the patents covering fesoterodine, the active ingredient in Toviaz: three composition-of-matter patents and a method-of-use patent that expire in 2019 and a patent covering salts of fesoterodine that expires in 2022. The patents are owned by UCB, and we have an exclusive, worldwide license to market Toviaz from UCB. In July 2016, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board agreed to institute inter partes reviews of all five patents. Amerigen Pharmaceuticals Limited (Amerigen), Alembic Pharmaceuticals Limited and Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited have joined the inter partes reviews. In July 2017, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued decisions upholding all five patents. In September 2017, Mylan and Amerigen appealed the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office decisions to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit . In January 2018, Mylan withdrew its appeal. Eliquis In February, March, and April 2017, twenty-five generic companies sent BMS Paragraph-IV certification letters informing BMS that they had filed abbreviated new drug applications seeking approval of generic versions of Eliquis, challenging the validity and infringement of one or more of the three patents listed in the Orange Book for Eliquis. The patents currently are set to expire in 2019, 2026, and 2031. Eliquis has been jointly developed and is being commercialized by BMS and Pfizer. In April 2017, BMS and Pfizer filed patent-infringement actions against all generic filers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and the U.S. District Court for the District of West Virginia, asserting that each of the generic companies’ proposed products would infringe each of the patent(s) that each generic filer challenged. Some generic filers challenged only the 2031 patent, some challenged both the 2031 and 2026 patent, and one generic company challenged all three patents. We and BMS have settled with certain of the generic companies on terms not material to Pfizer and we and BMS may settle with other generic companies in the future. Bavencio (avelumab) In July 2017, BMS, E.R. Squibb & Sons LLC, Ono Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., and Tasuku Honjo brought a patent-infringement action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Pfizer, Merck KGaA, and EMD Serono, alleging that Bavencio (avelumab) infringes one patent relating to methods for treating tumors with anti-PD-L1 antibodies, which expires in 2023. Actions In Which We Are The Defendant Inflectra (infliximab-dyyb) In March 2015, Janssen and New York University, together, brought a patent-infringement action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Hospira, Celltrion Healthcare Co. Ltd. and Celltrion Inc. alleging that infliximab-dyyb, to be marketed by Hospira in the U.S. under the brand name Inflectra, would infringe six patents relating to infliximab, its manufacture and use. Claims with respect to four of the patents have since been dismissed by the plaintiffs, leaving two patents at issue in the ongoing action: the infliximab antibody patent and a patent relating to cell culture media. In August 2016, the District Court ruled that the antibody patent was invalid, and Janssen appealed that ruling to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In January 2018, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that the infliximab antibody patent was invalid in Janssen’s appeal of a separate decision from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that also declared the antibody patent invalid. Subsequently, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit dismissed Janssen’s appeal of the District Court decision. A2. Legal Proceedings––Product Litigation Like other pharmaceutical companies, we are defendants in numerous cases, including but not limited to those discussed below, related to our pharmaceutical and other products. Plaintiffs in these cases seek damages and other relief on various grounds for alleged personal injury and economic loss. Asbestos Between 1967 and 1982, Warner-Lambert owned American Optical Corporation, which manufactured and sold respiratory protective devices and asbestos safety clothing. In connection with the sale of American Optical in 1982, Warner-Lambert agreed to indemnify the purchaser for certain liabilities, including certain asbestos-related and other claims. As of December 31, 2017 , approximately 56,500 claims naming American Optical and numerous other defendants were pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged personal injury from exposure to asbestos and other allegedly hazardous materials. Warner-Lambert was acquired by Pfizer in 2000 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pfizer. Warner-Lambert is actively engaged in the defense of, and will continue to explore various means of resolving, these claims. Numerous lawsuits are pending against Pfizer in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged personal injury from exposure to products allegedly containing asbestos and other allegedly hazardous materials sold by Pfizer and certain of its previously owned subsidiaries. There also are a small number of lawsuits pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged exposure to asbestos in facilities owned or formerly owned by Pfizer or its subsidiaries. Effexor Beginning in May 2011, actions, including purported class actions, were filed in various federal courts against Wyeth and, in certain of the actions, affiliates of Wyeth and certain other defendants relating to Effexor XR, which is the extended-release formulation of Effexor. The plaintiffs in each of the class actions seek to represent a class consisting of all persons in the U.S. and its territories who directly purchased, indirectly purchased or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Effexor XR or generic Effexor XR from any of the defendants from June 14, 2008 until the time the defendants’ allegedly unlawful conduct ceased. The plaintiffs in all of the actions allege delay in the launch of generic Effexor XR in the U.S. and its territories, in violation of federal antitrust laws and, in certain of the actions, the antitrust, consumer protection and various other laws of certain states, as the result of Wyeth fraudulently obtaining and improperly listing certain patents for Effexor XR in the Orange Book, enforcing certain patents for Effexor XR and entering into a litigation settlement agreement with a generic drug manufacturer with respect to Effexor XR. Each of the plaintiffs seeks treble damages (for itself in the individual actions or on behalf of the putative class in the purported class actions) for alleged price overcharges for Effexor XR or generic Effexor XR in the U.S. and its territories since June 14, 2008. All of these actions have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. In October 2014, the District Court dismissed the direct purchaser plaintiffs’ claims based on the litigation settlement agreement but declined to dismiss the other direct purchaser plaintiff claims. In January 2015, the District Court entered partial final judgments as to all settlement agreement claims, including those asserted by direct purchasers and end-payer plaintiffs, which plaintiffs appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In August 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit reversed the District Court’s decisions and remanded the claims to the District Court. Zoloft A number of individual lawsuits and multi-plaintiff lawsuits have been filed against us and/or our subsidiaries in various federal and state courts alleging personal injury as a result of the purported ingestion of Zoloft. Among other types of actions, the Zoloft personal injury litigation includes actions alleging a variety of birth defects as a result of the purported ingestion of Zoloft by women during pregnancy. Plaintiffs in these birth-defect actions seek compensatory and punitive damages and the disgorgement of profits resulting from the sale of Zoloft. In April 2012, the federal birth-defect cases were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation ( In re Zoloft Products Liability Litigation MDL-2342 ) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. A number of plaintiffs have voluntarily dismissed their actions. In April 2016, the District Court granted our motion for summary judgment, dismissing the claims of almost all of the remaining plaintiffs. In May 2016, the plaintiffs appealed the District Court’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In June 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision. Lipitor • Antitrust Actions Beginning in November 2011, purported class actions relating to Lipitor were filed in various federal courts against, among others, Pfizer, certain affiliates of Pfizer, and, in most of the actions, Ranbaxy, Inc. (Ranbaxy) and certain affiliates of Ranbaxy. The plaintiffs in these various actions seek to represent nationwide, multi-state or statewide classes consisting of persons or entities who directly purchased, indirectly purchased or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Lipitor (or, in certain of the actions, generic Lipitor) from any of the defendants from March 2010 until the cessation of the defendants’ allegedly unlawful conduct (the Class Period). The plaintiffs allege delay in the launch of generic Lipitor, in violation of federal antitrust laws and/or state antitrust, consumer protection and various other laws, resulting from (i) the 2008 agreement pursuant to which Pfizer and Ranbaxy settled certain patent litigation involving Lipitor, and Pfizer granted Ranbaxy a license to sell a generic version of Lipitor in various markets beginning on varying dates, and (ii) in certain of the actions, the procurement and/or enforcement of certain patents for Lipitor. Each of the actions seeks, among other things, treble damages on behalf of the putative class for alleged price overcharges for Lipitor (or, in certain of the actions, generic Lipitor) during the Class Period. In addition, individual actions have been filed against Pfizer, Ranbaxy and certain of their affiliates, among others, that assert claims and seek relief for the plaintiffs that are substantially similar to the claims asserted and the relief sought in the purported class actions described above. These various actions have been consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a Multi-District Litigation ( In re Lipitor Antitrust Litigation MDL-2332 ) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. In September 2013 and 2014, the District Court dismissed with prejudice the claims by direct purchasers. In October and November 2014, the District Court dismissed with prejudice the claims of all other Multi-District Litigation plaintiffs. All plaintiffs have appealed the District Court’s orders dismissing their claims with prejudice to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In addition, the direct purchaser class plaintiffs appealed the order denying their motion to amend the judgment and for leave to amend their complaint to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In August 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit reversed the District Court’s decisions and remanded substantially all of the claims to the District Court. Also, in January 2013, the State of West Virginia filed an action in West Virginia state court against Pfizer and Ranbaxy, among others, that asserts claims and seeks relief on behalf of the State of West Virginia and residents of that state that are substantially similar to the claims asserted and the relief sought in the purported class actions described above. • Personal Injury Actions A number of individual and multi-plaintiff lawsuits have been filed against us in various federal and state courts alleging that the plaintiffs developed type 2 diabetes as a result of the purported ingestion of Lipitor. Plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages. In February 2014, the federal actions were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation ( In re Lipitor (Atorvastatin Calcium) Marketing, Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation (No. II) MDL-2502 ) in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. Since 2016, certain cases in the Multi-District Litigation were remanded to certain state courts. In January 2017, the District Court granted our motion for summary judgment, dismissing substantially all of the remaining cases pending in the Multi-District Litigation. In January 2017, the plaintiffs appealed the District Court’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Viagra A number of individual and multi-plaintiff lawsuits have been filed against us in various federal and state courts alleging that the plaintiffs developed melanoma and/or the exacerbation of melanoma as a result of the purported ingestion of Viagra.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment, Geographic and Other Revenue Information | Segment, Geographic and Other Revenue Information A. Segment Information We manage our commercial operations through two distinct business segments: Pfizer Innovative Health (IH) and Pfizer Essential Health (EH). The IH and EH operating segments are each led by a single manager. Each operating segment has responsibility for its commercial activities and for certain IPR&D projects for new investigational products and additional indications for in-line products that generally have achieved proof-of-concept. Each business has a geographic footprint across developed and emerging markets. Our chief operating decision maker uses the revenues and earnings of the two operating segments, among other factors, for performance evaluation and resource allocation. We regularly review our segments and the approach used by management to evaluate performance and allocate resources. As described in Note 1A , acquisitions and divestitures have impacted our results of operations in 2017 , 2016 and 2015 . Operating Segments Some additional information about our business segments as of the date of the filing of this 2017 Financial Report follows: IH focuses on developing and commercializing novel, value-creating medicines and vaccines that significantly improve patients’ lives, as well as products for consumer healthcare. Key therapeutic areas include internal medicine, vaccines, oncology, inflammation & immunology, rare disease and consumer healthcare. EH includes legacy brands that have lost or will soon lose market exclusivity in both developed and emerging markets, branded generics, generic sterile injectable products, biosimilars, select branded products including anti-infectives and, through February 2, 2017, HIS. EH also includes an R&D organization, as well as our contract manufacturing business. Leading brands include: - Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13 - Xeljanz - Eliquis - Lyrica (U.S., Japan and certain other markets) - Enbrel (outside the U.S. and Canada) - Ibrance - Xtandi - Several OTC consumer healthcare products (e.g., Advil and Centrum ) Leading brands include: - Lipitor - Premarin family - Norvasc - Lyrica (Europe, Russia, Turkey, Israel and Central Asia countries) - Celebrex - Viagra * - Inflectra/Remsima - Several sterile injectable products * Viagra lost exclusivity in the U.S. in December 2017. Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, revenues for Viagra in the U.S. and Canada, which were reported in IH through December 2017, will be reported in EH (which reported all other Viagra revenues excluding the U.S. and Canada through 2017). Therefore, total Viagra worldwide revenues will be reported in EH from 2018 forward. Other Costs and Business Activities Certain pre-tax costs are not allocated to our operating segment results, such as costs associated with the following: • WRD, which is generally responsible for research projects for our IH business until proof-of-concept is achieved and then for transitioning those projects to the IH segment via the GPD organization for possible clinical and commercial development. R&D spending may include upfront and milestone payments for intellectual property rights. The WRD organization also has responsibility for certain science-based and other platform-services organizations, which provide technical expertise and other services to the various R&D projects, including EH R&D projects. WRD is also responsible for facilitating all regulatory submissions and interactions with regulatory agencies, including all safety-event activities. • GPD, which is generally responsible for the clinical development of assets that are in clinical trials for our WRD and Innovative portfolios. GPD also provides technical support and other services to Pfizer R&D projects. • Corporate, representing platform functions (such as worldwide technology, global real estate operations, legal, finance, human resources, worldwide public affairs, compliance and worldwide procurement) and certain compensation and other corporate costs, such as interest income and expense, and gains and losses on investments. Effective in the first quarter of 2017 , Corporate also includes the costs associated with our Pfizer Medical organization (Medical), previously reported as part of Other Business Activities. Medical is responsible for the provision of medical information to healthcare providers, patients and other parties, transparency and disclosure activities, clinical trial results publication, grants for healthcare quality improvement and medical education, and partnerships with global public health and medical associations. In 2015, Medical was also responsible for regulatory inspection readiness reviews, internal audits of Pfizer-sponsored clinical trials and internal regulatory compliance processes, which are now part of the compliance function within Corporate. • Other unallocated costs, representing overhead expenses associated with our manufacturing and commercial operations that are not directly assessed to an operating segment as business unit (segment) management does not manage these costs (which include manufacturing variances associated with production). • Certain transactions and events such as (i) purchase accounting adjustments, where we incur expenses associated with the amortization of fair value adjustments to inventory, intangible assets and PP&E; (ii) acquisition-related costs, where we incur costs for executing the transaction, integrating the acquired operations and restructuring the combined company; and (iii) certain significant items, representing substantive and/or unusual, and in some cases recurring, items (such as restructuring or legal charges) that are evaluated on an individual basis by management and that, either as a result of their nature or size, would not be expected to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. Such items can include, but are not limited to, non-acquisition-related restructuring costs, as well as costs incurred for legal settlements, asset impairments and disposals of assets or businesses, including, as applicable, any associated transition activities. Segment Assets We manage our assets on a total company basis, not by operating segment, as many of our operating assets are shared (such as our plant network assets) or commingled (such as accounts receivable, as many of our customers are served by both operating segments). Therefore, our chief operating decision maker does not regularly review any asset information by operating segment and, accordingly, we do not report asset information by operating segment. Total assets were approximately $172 billion as of December 31, 2017 and approximately $172 billion as of December 31, 2016 . Selected Income Statement Information As described in Note 1A , acquisitions and divestitures have impacted our results of operations in 2017 , 2016 and 2015 . The following table provides selected income statement information by reportable segment: Revenues Earnings (a) Depreciation and Amortization (b) Year Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 2017 2016 2015 2017 2016 2015 Reportable Segments: IH $ 31,422 $ 29,197 $ 26,758 $ 18,341 $ 15,854 $ 14,581 $ 534 $ 583 $ 552 EH 21,124 23,627 22,094 11,283 12,898 12,714 579 600 446 Total reportable segments 52,546 52,824 48,851 29,625 28,752 27,295 1,113 1,183 998 Other business activities (c) — — — (3,137 ) (3,020 ) (2,914 ) 90 85 76 Reconciling Items: Corporate (d) — — — (5,522 ) (5,491 ) (5,607 ) 337 356 355 Purchase accounting adjustments (d) — — — (4,758 ) (4,185 ) (3,953 ) 4,565 3,890 3,573 Acquisition-related costs (d) — — — (456 ) (785 ) (894 ) 39 7 75 Certain significant items (e) — — — (2,647 ) (5,888 ) (4,321 ) 52 200 48 Other unallocated (d) — — — (799 ) (1,032 ) (642 ) 72 35 33 $ 52,546 $ 52,824 $ 48,851 $ 12,305 $ 8,351 $ 8,965 $ 6,269 $ 5,757 $ 5,157 (a) Income from continuing operations before provision/(benefit) for taxes on income .

Depreciation is allocated based on estimates of physical production. Amounts here relate solely to the depreciation and amortization associated with continuing operations. (c) Other business activities includes the costs managed by our WRD and GPD organizations. Effective in the first quarter of 2017 , Medical, previously reported as part of Other Business Activities, was reclassified to Corporate. We have reclassified approximately $165 million and $177 million of costs from Other Business Activities to Corporate in 2016 and 2015 , respectively, to conform to the current period presentation. (d) For a description, see the “Other Costs and Business Activities” section above. (e) Certain significant items are substantive and/or unusual, and in some cases recurring, items (such as restructuring or legal charges) that, either as a result of their nature or size, would not be expected to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. For Earnings in 2017 , certain significant items includes: (i) restructuring charges and implementation costs associated with our cost-reduction initiatives that are not associated with an acquisition of $348 million , (ii) charges for certain legal matters of $237 million , (iii) incremental charges to amounts previously recorded to write down the HIS net assets to fair value less costs to sell of $55 million , (iv) certain asset impairment charges of $379 million , (v) charges for business and legal entity alignment of $71 million , (vi) net losses on early retirement of debt of $999 million and (vii) other charges of $556 million .

For additional information, see Note 2B, Note 3 and Note 4. For Earnings in 2015 , certain significant items includes: (i) restructuring charges and implementation costs associated with our cost-reduction initiatives that are not associated with an acquisition of $584 million , (ii) foreign currency loss and inventory impairment related to Venezuela of $878 million , (iii) certain asset impairment charges of $787 million , (iv) a charge related to pension settlements of $491 million , (v) charges for business and legal entity alignment of $282 million , (vi) charges for certain legal matters of $968 million and (vii) other charges of $332 million . For additional information, see Note 3 and Note 4 . Equity in the net income of investees accounted for by the equity method is not significant for any of our operating segments. The operating segment information does not purport to represent the revenues, costs and Income from continuing operations before provision/(benefit) for taxes on income that each of our operating segments would have recorded had each segment operated as a standalone company during the periods presented. B. Geographic Information As described in Note 1A , acquisitions and divestitures have impacted our results of operations in 2017 , 2016 and 2015 .

For all years presented, these sales and related trade accounts receivable were concentrated in our biopharmaceutical businesses. Significant Product Revenues As described in Note 1A , acquisitions and divestitures have impacted our results of operations in 2017 , 2016 and 2015 . The following table provides detailed revenue information: Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 PFIZER INNOVATIVE HEALTH (IH) (a) $ 31,422 $ 29,197 $ 26,758 Internal Medicine $ 9,684 $ 8,858 $ 7,611 Lyrica IH (b) 4,511 4,165 3,655 Eliquis alliance revenues and direct sales 2,523 1,713 913 Chantix/Champix 997 842 671 Viagra IH (c) 823 1,181 1,297 BMP2 261 251 232 Toviaz 257 258 267 All other Internal Medicine 312 447 577 Vaccines $ 6,001 $ 6,071 $ 6,454 Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13 5,601 5,718 6,245 FSME/IMMUN-TicoVac 134 114 104 All other Vaccines 266 239 104 Oncology $ 6,056 $ 4,563 $ 2,955 Ibrance 3,126 2,135 723 Sutent 1,081 1,095 1,120 Xalkori 594 561 488 Xtandi alliance revenues 590 140 — Inlyta 339 401 430 Bosulif 233 167 111 All other Oncology 93 63 83 Inflammation & Immunology (I&I) $ 3,968 $ 3,928 $ 3,918 Enbrel (Outside the U.S. and Canada) 2,452 2,909 3,333 Xeljanz 1,345 927 523 Eucrisa 67 — — All other I&I 103 93 61 Rare Disease $ 2,240 $ 2,369 2,425 BeneFIX 604 712 752 Refacto AF/Xyntha 551 554 533 Genotropin 532 579 617 Somavert 254 232 218 All other Rare Disease 300 292 306 Consumer Healthcare $ 3,472 $ 3,407 $ 3,395 PFIZER ESSENTIAL HEALTH (EH) (d) $ 21,124 $ 23,627 $ 22,094 Legacy Established Products (LEP) (e) $ 10,894 $ 11,197 $ 11,745 Lipitor 1,915 1,758 1,860 Premarin family 977 1,017 1,018 Norvasc 926 962 991 Xalatan/Xalacom 335 363 399 Effexor 297 278 288 Zoloft 291 304 374 EpiPen 290 386 339 Zithromax 270 272 275 Relpax 236 323 352 Xanax 225 222 224 Sildenafil Citrate 56 — — All other LEP 5,077 5,313 5,625 Sterile Injectable Pharmaceuticals (SIP) (f) $ 5,673 $ 6,014 $ 3,944 Medrol 483 450 402 Sulperazon 471 396 339 Fragmin 306 318 335 Tygacil 260 274 304 Precedex 243 264 76 Tazosyn/Zosyn 194 146 144 All other SIP 3,715 4,166 2,343 Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 Peri-LOE Products (g) $ 3,223 $ 4,220 $ 5,326 Celebrex 775 733 830 Lyrica EH (b) 553 801 1,183 Vfend 421 590 682 Viagra EH (c) 382 383 411 Pristiq 303 732 715 Zyvox 281 421 883 Revatio 252 285 260 All other Peri-LOE Products 257 276 362 Biosimilars (h) $ 531 $ 319 $ 63 Inflectra/Remsima 419 192 30 All other Biosimilars 112 127 33 Pfizer CentreOne (i) $ 706 $ 718 $ 612 Hospira Infusion Systems (HIS) (j) $ 97 $ 1,158 $ 403 Revenues $ 52,546 $ 52,824 $ 48,851 Total Lyrica (b) $ 5,065 $ 4,966 $ 4,839 Total Viagra (c) $ 1,204 $ 1,564 $ 1,708 Total Alliance revenues $ 2,927 $ 1,746 $ 1,312 (a) The IH business encompasses Internal Medicine, Vaccines, Oncology, Inflammation & Immunology, Rare Disease and Consumer Healthcare. Through December 31, 2016, includes Duavive/Duavee and Viviant (recorded in All other Internal Medicine in 2016), which were transferred from Innovative Health to Essential Health effective January 1, 2017 (recorded in All other LEP (EH) beginning January 1, 2017), in order to align these products with our management of the women’s health portfolio within EH. (b) Lyrica revenues from all of Europe, Russia, Turkey, Israel and Central Asia countries are included in Lyrica EH. All other Lyrica revenues are included in Lyrica IH. Total Lyrica revenues represent the aggregate of worldwide revenues from Lyrica IH and Lyrica EH. (c) Viagra revenues from the U.S. and Canada are included in Viagra IH. All other Viagra revenues are included in Viagra EH. Total Viagra revenues represent the aggregate of worldwide revenues from Viagra IH and Viagra EH. Viagra lost exclusivity in the U.S. in December 2017. Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, revenues for Viagra in the U.S. and Canada, which were reported in IH through December 2017, will be reported in EH (which reported all other Viagra revenues excluding the U.S. and Canada through 2017). Therefore total Viagra worldwide revenues will be reported in EH from 2018 forward. (d) The EH business encompasses Legacy Established Products, Sterile Injectable Pharmaceuticals, Peri-LOE Products, Biosimilars, Pfizer CentreOne and HIS (through February 2, 2017), and includes all legacy Hospira commercial operations. (e) Legacy Established Products primarily include products that have lost patent protection (excluding Sterile Injectable Pharmaceuticals and Peri-LOE Products). Effective January 1, 2017, All other LEP includes Duavive/Duavee and Viviant, which were transferred from Innovative Health (recorded in All other Internal Medicine (IH) in 2016), in order to align these products with our management of the women’s health portfolio within EH. See note (a) above. (f) Sterile Injectable Pharmaceuticals include generic injectables and proprietary specialty injectables (excluding Peri-LOE Products). (g) Peri-LOE Products include products that have recently lost or are anticipated to soon lose patent protection. These products primarily include: Lyrica in Europe, Russia, Turkey, Israel and Central Asia; Viagra in all countries (excluding the U.S. and Canada); and worldwide revenues for Celebrex, Pristiq, Zyvox, Vfend, Revatio and Inspra. Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, revenues for Viagra in the U.S. and Canada, which were reported in IH through December 2017, will be reported in EH. Therefore total Viagra worldwide revenues will be reported in EH from 2018 forward. See note (c) above. (h) Biosimilars include Inflectra/Remsima (biosimilar infliximab) in the U.S. and certain international markets, Nivestim (biosimilar filgrastim) in certain European, Asian and Africa/Middle Eastern markets and Retacrit (biosimilar epoetin zeta) in certain European and Africa/Middle Eastern markets. (i) Pfizer CentreOne includes revenues from our contract manufacturing and active pharmaceutical ingredient sales operation, including sterile injectables contract manufacturing, and revenues related to our manufacturing and supply agreements, including with Zoetis Inc. (j) HIS (through February 2, 2017) includes Medication Management Systems products composed of infusion pumps and related software and services, as well as IV Infusion Products, including large volume IV solutions and their associated administration sets. We performed certain reclassifications, primarily between Legacy Established Products and Sterile Injectable Pharmaceuticals, to conform to current period presentation. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | The consolidated financial statements include our parent company and all subsidiaries, and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). |
Consolidation | The decision of whether or not to consolidate an entity requires consideration of majority voting interests, as well as effective economic or other control over the entity. Typically, we do not seek control by means other than voting interests. For subsidiaries operating outside the U.S., the financial information is included as of and for the year ended November 30 for each year presented. Pfizer's fiscal year-end for U.S. subsidiaries is as of and for the year ended December 31 for each year presented. Substantially all unremitted earnings of international subsidiaries are free of legal and contractual restrictions. All significant transactions among our businesses have been eliminated. Taxes paid on intercompany sales transactions are deferred until recognized upon sale of the asset to a third party. |
Adoption of New Accounting Standards in 2017 | Adoption of New Accounting Standards in 2017 We adopted a new standard as of January 1, 2017 that amended guidance on the assessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. Under this new guidance, when evaluating whether an entity is the primary beneficiary, a single decision maker must consider its indirect interest held through related parties under common control proportionately. There was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements from adopting this standard. We adopted a new standard as of January 1, 2017 related to inventory. The new guidance requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. There was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements from adopting this standard. |
Estimates and Assumptions | Estimates and Assumptions In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we use certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures, including amounts recorded and disclosed in connection with acquisitions. These estimates and underlying assumptions can impact all elements of our financial statements. For example, in the consolidated statements of income, estimates are used when accounting for deductions from revenues (such as rebates, chargebacks, sales allowances and sales returns), determining the cost of inventory that is sold, allocating cost in the form of depreciation and amortization, and estimating restructuring charges and the impact of contingencies, as well as determining provisions for taxes on income. On the consolidated balance sheets, estimates are used in determining the valuation and recoverability of assets, such as accounts receivable, investments, inventories, deferred tax assets, fixed assets and intangible assets (including acquired IPR&D assets), and estimates are used in determining the reported amounts of liabilities, such as taxes payable, benefit obligations, accruals for contingencies, rebates, chargebacks, sales allowances and sales returns, and restructuring reserves, all of which also impact the consolidated statements of income. Our estimates are often based on complex judgments and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, but that can be inherently uncertain and unpredictable. If our estimates and assumptions are not representative of actual outcomes, our results could be materially impacted. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, our estimates and assumptions may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, or unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause us to change those estimates and assumptions. We are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimated amounts, such as changes in the healthcare environment, competition, litigation, legislation and regulations. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions using historical experience and expectations about the future. We adjust our estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances indicate the need for change. For information on estimates and assumptions in connection with the TCJA, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements–– Note 5A . Tax Matters: Taxes on Income from Continuing Operations. |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions Our consolidated financial statements include the operations of acquired businesses after the completion of the acquisitions. We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date and that the fair value of acquired IPR&D be recorded on the balance sheet. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the consideration transferred over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. When we acquire net assets that do not constitute a business, as defined in U.S. GAAP, no goodwill is recognized and acquired IPR&D is expensed. Contingent consideration in a business combination is included as part of the acquisition cost and is recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Fair value is generally estimated by using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. Any liability resulting from contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. These changes in fair value are recognized in earnings in Other (income)/deductions––net . Amounts recorded in connection with an acquisition can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. |
Fair Value | Fair Value We are often required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value, either upon initial recognition or for subsequent accounting or reporting. For example, we use fair value extensively in the initial recognition of net assets acquired in a business combination, when measuring certain impairment losses and when accounting for and reporting of certain financial instruments. We estimate fair value using an exit price approach, which requires, among other things, that we determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly market. The determination of an exit price is considered from the perspective of market participants, considering the highest and best use of non-financial assets and, for liabilities, assuming that the risk of non-performance will be the same before and after the transfer. When estimating fair value, depending on the nature and complexity of the asset or liability, we may use one or all of the following techniques: • Income approach, which is based on the present value of a future stream of net cash flows. • Market approach, which is based on market prices and other information from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. • Cost approach, which is based on the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets, less an allowance for functional and/or economic obsolescence. Our fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs: • Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs). • Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means (Level 2 inputs). • Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (Level 3 inputs). A single estimate of fair value can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation For most of our international operations, local currencies have been determined to be the functional currencies. We translate functional currency assets and liabilities to their U.S. dollar equivalents at exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and we translate functional currency income and expense amounts to their U.S. dollar equivalents at average exchange rates for the period. The U.S. dollar effects that arise from changing translation rates are recorded in Other comprehensive income/(loss) . The effects of converting non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities into the functional currency are recorded in Other (income)/deductions––net . For operations in highly inflationary economies, we translate monetary items at rates in effect as of the balance sheet date, with translation adjustments recorded in Other (income)/deductions––net , and we translate non-monetary items at historical rates. |
Revenues | Revenue Recognition —We record revenues from product sales when the goods are shipped and title passes to the customer. At the time of sale, we also record estimates for a variety of revenue deductions, such as chargebacks, rebates, sales allowances and sales returns. When we cannot reasonably estimate the amount of future sales returns and/or other revenue deductions, we record revenues when the risk of product return and/or additional revenue deductions has been substantially eliminated. Deductions from Revenues–– Our gross product revenues are subject to a variety of deductions, that generally are estimated and recorded in the same period that the revenues are recognized, and primarily represent chargebacks, rebates and sales allowances to wholesalers, and, to a lesser extent, distributors like MCOs, retailers and government agencies with respect to our pharmaceutical products. Those deductions represent estimates of rebates and discounts related to gross sales for the reporting period and, as such, knowledge and judgment of market conditions and practice are required when estimating the impact of these revenue deductions on gross sales for a reporting period. Specifically: • In the U.S., we record provisions for pharmaceutical Medicare, Medicaid, and performance-based contract rebates based upon our experience ratio of rebates paid and actual prescriptions written during prior quarters. We apply the experience ratio to the respective period’s sales to determine the rebate accrual and related expense. This experience ratio is evaluated regularly to ensure that the historical trends are as current as practicable. We estimate discounts on branded prescription drug sales to Medicare Part D participants in the Medicare “coverage gap,” also known as the “doughnut hole,” based on the historical experience of beneficiary prescriptions and consideration of the utilization that is expected to result from the discount in the coverage gap. We evaluate this estimate regularly to ensure that the historical trends and future expectations are as current as practicable. For performance-based contract rebates, we also consider current contract terms, such as changes in formulary status and rebate rates. • Outside the U.S., the majority of our pharmaceutical sales allowances are contractual or legislatively mandated and our estimates are based on actual invoiced sales within each period, which reduces the risk of variations in the estimation process. In certain European countries, rebates are calculated on the government’s total unbudgeted pharmaceutical spending or on specific product sales thresholds, and we apply an estimated allocation factor against our actual invoiced sales to project the expected level of reimbursement. We obtain third-party information that helps us to monitor the adequacy of these accruals. • Provisions for pharmaceutical chargebacks (primarily reimbursements to U.S. wholesalers for honoring contracted prices to third parties) closely approximate actual as we settle these deductions generally within two to five weeks of incurring the liability. • Provisions for pharmaceutical sales returns are based on a calculation for each market that incorporates the following, as appropriate: local returns policies and practices; historical returns as a percentage of sales; an understanding of the reasons for past returns; estimated shelf life by product; an estimate of the amount of time between shipment and return or lag time; and any other factors that could impact the estimate of future returns, such as loss of exclusivity, product recalls or a changing competitive environment. Generally, returned products are destroyed, and customers are refunded the sales price in the form of a credit. • We record sales incentives as a reduction of revenues at the time the related revenues are recorded or when the incentive is offered, whichever is later. We estimate the cost of our sales incentives based on our historical experience with similar incentives programs to predict customer behavior. Amounts recorded for revenue deductions can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from Revenues . Collaborative Arrangements— Payments to and from our collaboration partners are presented in our consolidated statements of income based on the nature of the arrangement (including its contractual terms), the nature of the payments and applicable accounting guidance. Under co-promotion agreements, we record the amounts received from our collaboration partners as alliance revenues, a component of Revenues, when our collaboration partners are the principal in the transaction and we receive a share of their net sales or profits. Alliance revenues are recorded when our collaboration partners ship the product and title passes to their customer. The related expenses for selling and marketing these products are included in Selling, informational and administrative expenses. In collaborative arrangements where we manufacture a product for our collaboration partners, we record revenues when our collaboration partners sell the product and title passes to their customers. All royalty payments to collaboration partners are included in Cost of sales . Royalty payments received from collaboration partners are included in Other (income)/deductions—net. |
Trade Accounts Receivable | Trade Accounts Receivable —Trade accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance against gross trade accounts receivable reflects the best estimate of probable losses inherent in the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other current information. Trade accounts receivable are written off after all reasonable means to collect the full amount (including litigation, where appropriate) have been exhausted. |
Cost of Sales and Inventories | Cost of Sales and Inventories We carry inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of finished goods, work in process and raw materials is determined using average actual cost. We regularly review our inventories for impairment and reserves are established when necessary. |
Selling, Informational and Administrative Expenses | Selling, Informational and Administrative Expenses Selling, informational and administrative costs are expensed as incurred. Among other things, these expenses include the internal and external costs of marketing, advertising, shipping and handling, information technology and legal defense. |
Research and Development Expenses | Research and Development Expenses R&D costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses include the costs of our proprietary R&D efforts, as well as costs incurred in connection with certain licensing arrangements. Before a compound receives regulatory approval, we record upfront and milestone payments made by us to third parties under licensing arrangements as expense. Upfront payments are recorded when incurred, and milestone payments are recorded when the specific milestone has been achieved. Once a compound receives regulatory approval, we record any milestone payments in Identifiable intangible assets, less accumulated amortization and, unless the asset is determined to have an indefinite life, we amortize the payments on a straight-line basis over the remaining agreement term or the expected product life cycle, whichever is shorter. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, plant and equipment, less accumulated depreciation —These assets are recorded at cost and are increased by the cost of any significant improvements after purchase. Property, plant and equipment assets, other than land and construction in progress, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the individual assets. Depreciation begins when the asset is ready for its intended use. For tax purposes, accelerated depreciation methods are used as allowed by tax laws. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | • Identifiable intangible assets, less accumulated amortization —These acquired assets are recorded at fair value. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives that are associated with marketed products are not amortized until a useful life can be determined. Intangible assets associated with IPR&D projects are not amortized until approval is obtained in a major market, typically either the U.S. or the EU, or in a series of other countries, subject to certain specified conditions and management judgment. The useful life of an amortizing asset generally is determined by identifying the period in which substantially all of the cash flows are expected to be generated. • Goodwill —Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred for an acquired business over the assigned values of its net assets. Goodwill is not amortized. Amortization expense related to finite-lived acquired intangible assets that contribute to our ability to sell, manufacture, research, market and distribute products, compounds and intellectual property is included in Amortization of intangible assets as these intangible assets benefit multiple business functions. Amortization expense related to intangible assets that are associated with a single function and depreciation of property, plant and equipment are included in Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses and/or Research and development expenses, as appropriate. Specifically: • For finite-lived intangible assets, such as developed technology rights, and for other long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, whenever impairment indicators are present, we calculate the undiscounted value of the projected cash flows associated with the asset, or asset group, and compare this estimated amount to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount is found to be greater, we record an impairment loss for the excess of book value over fair value. In addition, in all cases of an impairment review, we re-evaluate the remaining useful lives of the assets and modify them, as appropriate. • For indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as Brands and IPR&D assets, when necessary, we determine the fair value of the asset and record an impairment loss, if any, for the excess of book value over fair value. In addition, in all cases of an impairment review other than for IPR&D assets, we re-evaluate whether continuing to characterize the asset as indefinite-lived is appropriate. • For goodwill, when necessary, we determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare that value to its book value. If the carrying amount is found to be greater, we then determine the implied fair value of goodwill by subtracting the fair value of all the identifiable net assets other than goodwill from the fair value of the reporting unit and record an impairment loss, if any, for the excess of the book value of goodwill over the implied fair value. |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Impairment | We review all of our long-lived assets for impairment indicators throughout the year. We perform impairment testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill at least annually and for all other long-lived assets whenever impairment indicators are present. When necessary, we record charges for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets. |
Restructuring Charges and Certain Acquisition-Related Costs | Restructuring Charges and Certain Acquisition-Related Costs We may incur restructuring charges in connection with acquisitions when we implement plans to restructure and integrate the acquired operations or in connection with our cost-reduction and productivity initiatives. Included in Restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs are all restructuring charges, as well as certain other costs associated with acquiring and integrating an acquired business. If the restructuring action results in a change in the estimated useful life of an asset, that incremental impact is classified in Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses and/or Research and development expenses , as appropriate. Termination costs are generally recorded when the actions are probable and estimable. Transaction costs, such as banking, legal, accounting and other costs incurred in connection with a business acquisition are expensed as incurred . Amounts recorded for restructuring charges and other associated costs can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. |
Cash Equivalents | Cash equivalents include items almost as liquid as cash, such as certificates of deposit and time deposits with maturity periods of three months or less when purchased. If items meeting this definition are part of a larger investment pool, we classify them as Short-term investments . |
Statement of Cash Flows | Cash flows associated with financial instruments designated as fair value or cash flow hedges may be included in operating, investing or financing activities, depending on the classification of the items being hedged. Cash flows associated with financial instruments designated as net investment hedges are classified according to the nature of the hedge instrument. Cash flows associated with financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are classified according to their purpose and accounting nature. |
Investments | Our investments are comprised of the following: trading funds and securities, available-for-sale securities, held-to-maturity securities (when we have both the positive intent and ability to hold the investment to maturity) and private equity securities. The classification of an investment can depend on the nature of the investment, our intent and ability to hold the investment, and the degree to which we may exercise influence. • Trading securities are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in Other (income)/deductions—net. • Available-for-sale debt and equity securities are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in Other comprehensive income/(loss) until realized. • Held-to-maturity debt securities are carried at amortized cost. • Private equity securities are carried at equity method or at cost method. For equity investments where we have significant influence over the financial and operating policies of the investee, we use the equity-method of accounting. Under the equity-method, we record our share of the investee’s income and expenses in Other (income)/deductions—net . The excess of the cost of the investment over our share of the equity of the investee as of the acquisition date is allocated to the identifiable assets of the investee, with any remaining excess amount allocated to goodwill. Such investments are initially recorded at cost, which typically does not include amounts of contingent consideration. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are determined by using the specific identification cost method. We regularly evaluate all of our financial assets for impairment. For investments in debt and equity securities, when a decline in fair value, if any, is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value in various balance sheet categories (see Note 7A ), with changes in fair value reported in Net income or, for derivative financial instruments in certain qualifying hedging relationships, in Other comprehensive income/(loss) (see Note 7F ). |
Tax Assets and Liabilities and Income Tax Contingencies | Tax Assets and Liabilities and Income Tax Contingencies Current tax assets primarily includes (i) tax effects associated with intercompany transfers of assets within our consolidated group, which are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the asset transferred is sold to a third-party or recovered through amortization of the asset's remaining economic life; and (ii) income tax receivables that are expected to be recovered either as refunds from taxing authorities or as a reduction to future tax obligations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates and laws, including the recently enacted TCJA. We provide a valuation allowance when we believe that our deferred tax assets are not recoverable based on an assessment of estimated future taxable income that incorporates ongoing, prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies, that would be implemented, if necessary, to realize the deferred tax assets. All deferred tax assets and liabilities within the same tax jurisdiction are presented as a net amount in the noncurrent section of our consolidated balance sheet. Other taxes payable includes liabilities for uncertain tax positions and an estimate of the repatriation tax liability on the deemed repatriated accumulated post-1986 foreign earnings recorded in connection with the TCJA for which we plan to elect payment over eight years through 2026. See Note 5A for additional information. We account for income tax contingencies using a benefit recognition model. If we consider that a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, based solely on the technical merits of the position, we recognize the benefit. We measure the benefit by determining the amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement, presuming that the tax position is examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Under the benefit recognition model, if our initial assessment fails to result in the recognition of a tax benefit, we regularly monitor our position and subsequently recognize the tax benefit: (i) if there are changes in tax law, analogous case law or there is new information that sufficiently raise the likelihood of prevailing on the technical merits of the position to “more likely than not”; (ii) if the statute of limitations expires; or (iii) if there is a completion of an audit resulting in a favorable settlement of that tax year with the appropriate agency. We regularly re-evaluate our tax positions based on the results of audits of federal, state and foreign income tax filings, statute of limitations expirations, changes and clarification in tax law or receipt of new information that would either increase or decrease the technical merits of a position relative to the more-likely-than-not standard. Liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions are classified as current only when we expect to pay cash within the next 12 months. Interest and penalties, if any, are recorded in Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income and are classified on our consolidated balance sheet with the related tax liability. Given the significant changes resulting from and complexities associated with the TCJA, the estimated financial impacts for 2017 are provisional and subject to further analysis, interpretation and clarification of the TCJA, which could result in changes to these estimates during 2018. For additional information, see Note 5A . Amounts recorded for valuation allowances and income tax contingencies can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. |
Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans | Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans The majority of our employees worldwide are covered by defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans or both. In the U.S., we have both qualified and supplemental (non-qualified) defined benefit and defined contribution plans, as well as other postretirement benefit plans consisting primarily of medical insurance for retirees. We recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of each of our defined benefit plans as an asset or liability on our consolidated balance sheet. The obligations are generally measured at the actuarial present value of all benefits attributable to employee service rendered, as provided by the applicable benefit formula. Our pension and other postretirement obligations may include assumptions such as expected employee turnover and participant mortality. For our pension plans, the obligation may also include assumptions as to future compensation levels. For our other postretirement benefit plans, the obligation may include assumptions as to the expected cost of providing medical insurance benefits, as well as the extent to which those costs are shared with the employee or others (such as governmental programs). Plan assets are measured at fair value. Net periodic benefit costs are recognized, as required, into Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses and/or Research and development expenses , as appropriate. Amounts recorded for pension and postretirement benefit plans can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. |
Legal and Environmental Contingencies | Legal and Environmental Contingencies We and certain of our subsidiaries are subject to numerous contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business, such as patent litigation, product liability and other product-related litigation, commercial litigation, environmental claims and proceedings, government investigations and guarantees and indemnifications. We record accruals for these contingencies to the extent that we conclude that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. If some amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we accrue that amount. Alternatively, when no amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the lowest amount in the range. We record anticipated recoveries under existing insurance contracts when recovery is assured. Amounts recorded for contingencies can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. |
Share-Based Payments | Share-Based Payments Our compensation programs can include share-based payments. Generally, grants under share-based payment programs are accounted for at fair value and these fair values are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting terms into Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses and/or Research and development expenses , as appropriate. Amounts recorded for share-based compensation can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. |

Schedule of Collaborative Arrangements and Non-collaborative Arrangement Transactions | The following table provides the amounts and classification of payments (income/(expense)) between us and our collaboration partners: Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 Revenues —Revenues (a) $ 606 $ 659 $ 644 Revenue s—Alliance revenues (b) 2,927 1,746 1,312 Total revenues from collaborative arrangements 3,533 2,405 1,956 Cost of sales (c) (329 ) (315 ) (282 ) Selling, informational and administrative expenses (d) (54 ) (5 ) (287 ) Research and development expenses (e) 222 64 (330 ) Other income/(deductions)—net (f) 249 542 482 (a) Represents sales to our partners of products manufactured by us. (b) Substantially all relates to amounts earned from our partners under co-promotion agreements. The increase in 2017 reflects an increase in alliance revenues from Eliquis and Xtandi. The increase in 2016 reflects an increase in alliance revenues from Eliquis and the inclusion of Xtandi revenues resulting from the acquisition of Medivation in September 2016, partially offset by the expiration of the Rebif co-promotion collaboration at the end of 2015. (c) Primarily relates to royalties earned by our partners and cost of sales associated with inventory purchased from our partners. (d) Represents net reimbursements to our partners for selling, informational and administrative expenses incurred.

In 2016 , restructuring charges are largely associated with cost-reduction and productivity initiatives not associated with acquisitions, as well as our acquisitions of Hospira and Medivation. In 2015, restructuring charges are largely associated with.cost-reduction and productivity initiatives not associated with acquisitions. In 2017 , Employee terminations primarily include revisions of our estimates of severance benefits. Employee termination costs are generally recorded when the actions are probable and estimable and include accrued severance benefits, pension and postretirement benefits, many of which may be paid out during periods after termination. The restructuring activities in 2017 are associated with the following: • IH ( $64 million income); EH ( $4 million income); WRD/GPD ( $80 million ); manufacturing operations ( $115 million ); and Corporate ( $51 million ). The restructuring activities in 2016 are associated with the following: • IH ( $272 million ); EH ( $158 million ); WRD/GPD ( $169 million ); manufacturing operations ( $368 million ); and Corporate ( $189 million ), The restructuring activities in 2015 , which include a $39 million charge related to a 36% reduction in our labor force in Venezuela, are associated with the following: • IH ( $85 million ); EH ( $402 million ); WRD/GPD ( $80 million ); manufacturing operations ( $80 million ); and Corporate ( $164 million ). In September 2015, in order to eliminate certain redundancies in Pfizer’s biosimilar drug products pipeline created as a result of the acquisition of Hospira, Pfizer opted to return rights to Celltrion that Hospira had previously acquired to potential biosimilars to Rituxan® (rituximab) and Herceptin® (trastuzumab). As such, upon return of the acquired rights, in 2015, we incurred charges of $215 million , which are comprised of (i) a write-off of the applicable IPR&D assets, totaling $170 million , which is included in Asset impairments ; (ii) a write-off of amounts prepaid to Celltrion in the amount of $25 million , which is included in Asset impairments ; and (iii) a payment to Celltrion of $20 million , which is included in Exit costs . (b) The asset impairment charges for 2017 are largely associated with our acquisitions of Hospira and Medivation. The asset impairment charges included in restructuring charges for 2017 and 2016 are primarily associated with abandoned assets. The asset impairment charges for 2015 are primarily associated with our acquisition of Hospira. See (a) above for additional information. (c) Transaction costs represent external costs for banking, legal, accounting and other similar services, which in 2017 are directly related to our acquisitions of Hospira, Anacor and Medivation. Transaction costs in 2016 are mostly related to our acquisitions of Medivation and Anacor, and the terminated transaction with Allergan. Transaction costs in 2015 represent external costs directly related to the acquisition of Hospira and the terminated transaction with Allergan and primarily include expenditures for banking, legal, accounting and other similar services. (d) I ntegration costs represent external, incremental costs directly related to integrating acquired businesses, and primarily include expenditures for consulting and the integration of systems and processes. In 2017 , integration costs primarily relate to our acquisitions of Hospira and Medivation, as well as a net gain of $12 million related to the settlement of the Hospira U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan (see Note 11 ). In 2016, integration costs primarily relate to our acquisition of Hospira and the terminated transaction with Allergan. Integration costs in 2015 represent external incremental costs directly related to our acquisition of Hospira. (e) Additional depreciation––asset restructuring represents the impact of changes in the estimated useful lives of assets involved in restructuring actions. (f) Implementation costs represent external, incremental costs directly related to implementing our non-acquisition-related cost-reduction/productivity initiatives. |

Schedule of Other Nonoperating Income (Expense) | The following table provides components of Other (income)/deductions––net : Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 Interest income (a) $ (391 ) $ (470 ) $ (471 ) Interest expense (a) 1,270 1,186 1,199 Net interest expense 879 716 728 Foreign currency loss related to Venezuela (b) — — 806 Royalty-related income (c) (499 ) (905 ) (922 ) Certain legal matters, net (d) 240 510 975 Net gains on asset disposals (e) (343 ) (171 ) (232 ) Loss on sale and impairment on remeasurement of HIS net assets (f) 55 1,712 — Certain asset impairments (g) 395 1,447 818 Business and legal entity alignment costs (h) 71 261 282 Net losses on early retirement of debt (i) 999 312 — Other, net (j) (482 ) (227 ) 403 Other (income)/deductions––net $ 1,315 $ 3,655 $ 2,860 (a) 2017 v. 2016 ––Interest income decreased primarily driven by a lower investment balance. Interest expense increased, primarily as a result of higher short-term interest rates, offset, in part, by the retirement of high-coupon debt and the issuance of new low-coupon debt. Capitalized interest expense totaled $72 million 2017 , $ 61 million in 2016 and $ 32 million in 2015 . (b) In 2015, represents a foreign currency loss related to conditions in Venezuela during 2015, that had us resolve that our Venezuelan bolivar-denominated net monetary assets that are subject to revaluation were no longer expected to be settled at the Venezuelan government CENCOEX official rate of 6.3 , but rather at the then SIMADI rate of 200 , the lowest official rate. Those conditions included the inability to obtain significant conversions of Venezuelan bolivars related to intercompany U.S. dollar denominated accounts, an evaluation of the effects of the implementation of a fourth-quarter 2015 operational restructuring, resulting in a 36% reduction in our labor force in Venezuela, and our expectation of the changes in Venezuela’s responses to changes in its economy. (c) Royalty-related income decreased in 2017 and 2016 , primarily due to lower royalty income for Enbrel of $470 million in 2017 , compared to 2016, and $54 million in 2016 , compared to 2015, resulting from the expiration on October 31, 2016 of the 36-month royalty period under the collaboration agreement for Enbrel in the U.S. and Canada (the collaboration period under the agreement expired on October 31, 2013), partially offset by increases in Xtandi royalty-related income of $176 million in 2017 , compared to 2016, and $63 million in 2016 , compared to 2015. (d) In 2017 , primarily includes a $94 million charge to resolve a class action lawsuit filed by direct purchasers relating to Celebrex, which is subject to court approval (for additional information, see Note 17A2 ), and a $79 million charge to reflect damages awarded by a jury in a patent matter. In 2016 , primarily includes amounts to resolve a Multi-District Litigation relating to Celebrex and Bextra pending against the Company in New York federal court for $486 million , partially offset by the reversal of a legal accrual where a loss was no longer deemed probable. In addition, 2016 includes a settlement related to a patent matter. In 2015, primarily includes $784.6 million related to an agreement in principle reached in February 2016 and finalized in April 2016 to resolve claims alleging that Wyeth's practices relating to the calculation of Medicaid rebates for its drug, Protonix (pantoprazole sodium), between 2001 and 2006, several years before Pfizer acquired Wyeth in 2009, violated the Federal Civil False Claims Act and other laws. (e) In 2017 , primarily includes (i) gross realized gains on sales of available-for-sale debt securities of $451 million ; (ii) gross realized losses on sales of available-for-sale debt securities of $281 million ; (iii) gross realized gains on sales of available-for-sale equity securities of $75 million ; (iv) a net loss of $120 million from derivative financial instruments used to hedge the foreign exchange component of the matured available-for-sale debt securities; (v) gains on sales/out-licensing of product and compound rights of $187 million ; (vi) gains on sales of investments in private equity securities of $80 million ; (vii) a gain on sale of property of $52 million ; (viii) a net loss of $30 million related to the sale of our 40% ownership investment in Teuto, including the extinguishment of a put option for the remaining 60% ownership interest; and (ix) a loss of $81 million related to the sale of our 49% equity share in Hisun Pfizer.

Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $4.3 billion in 2015. (f) In 2017, represents adjustments to amounts previously recorded to write down the HIS net assets to fair value less costs to sell related to the sale of HIS net assets to ICU Medical.

(g) In 2017 , primarily includes intangible asset impairment charges of $337 million , reflecting (i) $127 million related to developed technology rights, acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hospira, for a generic sterile injectable product for the treatment of edema associated with certain conditions; (ii) $124 million related to developed technology rights, acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hospira, for a sterile injectable pain reliever; (iii) $39 million related to developed technology rights, acquired in connection with our acquisition of NextWave, for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; (iv) $26 million related to developed technology rights, acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hospira, for a generic injectable antibiotic product for the treatment of bacterial infections; and (v) $20 million related to other developed technology rights. The intangible asset impairment charges for 2017 are associated with EH and reflect, among other things, updated commercial forecasts and an increased competitive environment. In addition, 2017 includes a loss of $43 million for an impairment of our AM-Pharma B.V. long-term investment (see Note 2E ). In 2016, primarily includes intangible asset impairment charges of $869 million , reflecting (i) $366 million related to developed technology rights for a generic injectable antibiotic product for the treatment of bacterial infections; and (ii) $265 million related to an IPR&D compound for the treatment of anemia, both acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hospira; (iii) $128 million of sterile injectable IPR&D compounds acquired in connection with our acquisition of InnoPharma; and (iv) $110 million of other IPR&D assets, $81 million of which were acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hospira and $29 million of which were acquired in connection with our acquisition of King in 2011. The intangible asset impairment charges for 2016 are associated with the following: EH ( $840 million ) and IH ( $29 million ).

For additional information concerning Hisun Pfizer and Teuto, see Note 2D. The intangible asset impairment charge for 2016 for the IPR&D compound for the treatment of anemia acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hospira reflects, among other things, the impact of regulatory delays, including delays resulting from a then recent court ruling, requiring a 180-day waiting period after approval before a biosimilar product can be launched. The intangible asset impairment charges for 2016 for the sterile injectable IPR&D compounds acquired in connection with our acquisition of InnoPharma reflect, among other things, the impact of portfolio prioritization decisions and decreased commercial profiles of certain compounds. The intangible asset impairment charges for 2016 for developed technology rights and other IPR&D assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hospira reflect, among other things, the impact of regulatory delays, the impact of new scientific findings, updated commercial forecasts, changes in pricing, and an increased competitive environment. The intangible asset impairment charges for 2016 for other IPR&D assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of King reflect changes in the competitive environment. In 2015, primarily includes an impairment loss of $463 million related to Pfizer’s then 49% -owned equity-method investment in Hisun Pfizer (for additional information concerning Hisun Pfizer, see Note 2D ) and intangible asset impairment charges of $323 million , reflecting (i) $132 million related to indefinite-lived brands; (ii) $120 million related to developed technology rights for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; and (iii) $71 million related to IPR&D compounds.

Schedule of Additional Information About Intangible Assets Impaired | The asset impairment charges included in Other (income)/deductions––net are based on estimates of fair value. The following table provides additional information about the intangible assets that were impaired during 2017 in Other (income)/deductions––net : Year Ended December 31, Fair Value (a) 2017 (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) Amount Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Impairment Intangible assets –– Developed technology rights (b) 50 — — 50 337 Total $ 50 $ — $ — $ 50 $ 337 (a) The fair value amount is presented as of the date of impairment, as these assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. See also Note 1E. (b) Reflects intangible assets written down to fair value in 2017 . Fair value was determined using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method, also known as the discounted cash flow method. We started with a forecast of all the expected net cash flows associated with the asset and then applied an asset-specific discount rate to arrive at a net present value amount. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include: the amount and timing of the projected net cash flows, which includes the expected impact of competitive, legal and/or regulatory forces on the product; the discount rate, which seeks to reflect the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows; and the tax rate, which seeks to incorporate the geographic diversity of the projected cash flows. |

Schedule of Income before Income Tax, Domestic and Foreign | The following table provides the components of Income from continuing operations before provision/(benefit) for taxes on income : Year Ended December 31, (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 2017 2016 2015 United States $ (6,879 ) $ (8,534 ) $ (6,809 ) International 19,184 16,886 15,773 Income from continuing operations before provision/(benefit) for taxes on income ( a), (b) $ 12,305 $ 8,351 $ 8,965 (a) 2017 v. 2016 –– The decrease in the domestic loss was primarily due to lower restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs, the non-recurrence of the 2016 impairment on the remeasurement of HIS net assets, lower certain asset impairments and lower certain legal matters, partially offset by higher net losses on early retirement of debt, and higher amortization of intangible assets. The increase in international income was primarily due to the non-recurrence of the 2016 impairment on the remeasurement of HIS net assets, lower restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs, and lower certain asset impairments. (b) 2016 v. 2015 –– The increase in the domestic loss was primarily due to a charge related to the write-down of HIS net assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell, higher asset impairments, and higher restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs, partially offset by the inclusion of a full year of legacy U.S. Hospira operations as compared to four months of U.S. operations in 2015, and lower charges for legal matters. The increase in international income is primarily due to the non-recurrence of a foreign currency loss related to Venezuela partially offset by a charge related to the write-down of HIS net assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell, and higher restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs. |

Schedule of Effective Income Tax Rate Reconciliation | The reconciliation of the U.S. statutory income tax rate to our effective tax rate for Income from continuing operations follows: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 U.S. statutory income tax rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % TCJA impact (a) (86.6 ) — — Taxation of non-U.S. operations (b), (c), (d) (17.0 ) (13.8 ) (9.6 ) Tax settlements and resolution of certain tax positions (e) (1.2 ) (5.5 ) (4.0 ) U.S. Healthcare Legislation (e) 0.9 1.3 0.9 U.S. R&D tax credit and manufacturing deduction (e) (0.7 ) (1.0 ) (1.0 ) Certain legal settlements and charges (e) 0.1 (2.9 ) 3.1 All other, net (f) (3.9 ) 0.3 (2.1 ) Effective tax rate for income from continuing operations (73.5 )% 13.4 % 22.2 % (a) For a discussion about the enactment of the TCJA, see Note 5A. (b) For taxation of non-U.S. operations, this rate impact reflects the income tax rates and relative earnings in the locations where we do business outside the U.S., together with the cost of repatriation decisions, which includes the repatriation tax on deemed repatriated current year earnings of foreign subsidiaries discussed in Note 5A , as well as changes in uncertain tax positions not included in the reconciling item called “Tax settlements and resolution of certain tax positions”. Specifically: (i) the jurisdictional location of earnings is a significant component of our effective tax rate each year as tax rates outside the U.S. are generally lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate, and the rate impact of this component is influenced by the specific location of non-U.S. earnings and the level of such earnings as compared to our total earnings; (ii) the cost of repatriation decisions, and other U.S. tax implications of our foreign operations, is a significant component of our effective tax rate each year and generally offsets some of the reduction to our effective tax rate each year resulting from the jurisdictional location of earnings; and (iii) the impact of changes in uncertain tax positions not included in the reconciling item called “Tax settlements and resolution of certain tax positions” is a component of our effective tax rate each year that can result in either an increase or decrease to our effective tax rate. The jurisdictional mix of earnings, which includes the impact of the location of earnings as well as repatriation costs, can vary as a result of the repatriation decisions, as a result of operating fluctuations in the normal course of business and as a result of the extent and location of other income and expense items, such as restructuring charges, asset impairments and gains and losses on strategic business decisions. See also Note 5A for the components of pre-tax income and Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income, which is based on the location of the taxing authorities, and for information about settlements and other items impacting Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income . (c) In all periods presented, the reduction in our effective tax rate resulting from the jurisdictional location of earnings is largely due to generally lower tax rates, as well as manufacturing and other incentives associated with our subsidiaries in Puerto Rico and Singapore. 2015 and 2016 also include incentives in Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic related to the Hospira infusion systems business, which was sold to ICU Medical in February 2017. We benefit from a Puerto Rican incentive grant that expires in 2029. Under the grant, we are partially exempt from income, property and municipal taxes. In Singapore, we benefit from incentive tax rates effective through 2031 on income from manufacturing and other operations. (d) The favorable rate impact in 2017 also reflects lower repatriation costs associated with estimated current year income of our foreign subsidiaries. The favorable rate impact in 2016 also includes the non-recurrence of the non-deductibility of a foreign currency loss related to Venezuela. The rate impact in 2015 also includes the non-deductibility of a foreign currency loss related to Venezuela. (e) For a discussion about tax settlements and resolution of certain tax positions, the impact of U.S. Healthcare Legislation, the U.S. R&D tax credit and manufacturing deduction and the impact of certain legal settlements and charges, see Note 5A. (f) All other, net in 2017 and 2015 primarily relates to tax benefits associated with certain tax initiatives in the normal course of business. |

For additional information, see Note 5A . (a) The decrease in 2017 is primarily the result of the enactment of the TCJA, which includes the remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities primarily associated with intangible assets and unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries as well as amortization on intangible assets. For additional information, see Note 5A. (b) The amounts in 2017 and 2016 are reduced for unrecognized tax benefits of $3.4 billion and $3.0 billion , respectively, where we have net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, and/or tax credit carryforwards that are available, under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction, to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position. (c) The amount in 2017 primarily includes a provisional estimate on temporary differences associated with global intangible low-taxed income primarily related to basis differentials on intangibles. For additional information, see Note 5A. (d) In 2017 , Noncurrent deferred tax assets and other noncurrent tax assets ( $0.7 billion ), and Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities ( $3.9 billion ).

We purchased a group annuity contract on behalf of the remaining plan participants with a third-party insurance provider. As a result, we were relieved of the $156 million net pension benefit obligation and recorded a pretax settlement gain of $41 million , partially offset by the recognition of actuarial losses and prior service costs upon plan settlement of approximately $30 million in Restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs during the second quarter of 2017 (see Note 3 ). In 2015, the net periodic benefit costs included settlement losses primarily related to participants accepting the lump-sum option made in an offer to certain plan participants to elect a lump-sum payment to settle Pfizer’s pension obligation with those participants, or to elect an early annuity. (b) In 2017 and 2016, the changes to Other comprehensive (income)/loss for the international plans was impacted by foreign currency movements.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, revenues for Viagra in the U.S. and Canada, which were reported in IH through December 2017, will be reported in EH (which reported all other Viagra revenues excluding the U.S. and Canada through 2017). Therefore total Viagra worldwide revenues will be reported in EH from 2018 forward.

(g) Peri-LOE Products include products that have recently lost or are anticipated to soon lose patent protection. These products primarily include: Lyrica in Europe, Russia, Turkey, Israel and Central Asia; Viagra in all countries (excluding the U.S. and Canada); and worldwide revenues for Celebrex, Pristiq, Zyvox, Vfend, Revatio and Inspra. Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, revenues for Viagra in the U.S. and Canada, which were reported in IH through December 2017, will be reported in EH. Therefore total Viagra worldwide revenues will be reported in EH from 2018 forward. See note (c) above.

[1] | In 2017, restructuring charges are primarily associated with our acquisitions of Hospira and Medivation, as well as cost-reduction and productivity initiatives not associated with acquisitions. In 2016, restructuring charges are largely associated with cost-reduction and productivity initiatives not associated with acquisitions, as well as our acquisitions of Hospira and Medivation. In 2015, restructuring charges are largely associated with.cost-reduction and productivity initiatives not associated with acquisitions. In 2017, Employee terminations primarily include revisions of our estimates of severance benefits. Employee termination costs are generally recorded when the actions are probable and estimable and include accrued severance benefits, pension and postretirement benefits, many of which may be paid out during periods after termination.The restructuring activities in 2017 are associated with the following:•IH ($64 million income); EH ($4 million income); WRD/GPD ($80 million); manufacturing operations ($115 million); and Corporate ($51 million).The restructuring activities in 2016 are associated with the following:•IH ($272 million); EH ($158 million); WRD/GPD ($169 million); manufacturing operations ($368 million); and Corporate ($189 million), The restructuring activities in 2015, which include a $39 million charge related to a 36% reduction in our labor force in Venezuela, are associated with the following:•IH ($85 million); EH ($402 million); WRD/GPD ($80 million); manufacturing operations ($80 million); and Corporate ($164 million). In September 2015, in order to eliminate certain redundancies in Pfizer’s biosimilar drug products pipeline created as a result of the acquisition of Hospira, Pfizer opted to return rights to Celltrion that Hospira had previously acquired to potential biosimilars to Rituxan® (rituximab) and Herceptin® (trastuzumab). As such, upon return of the acquired rights, in 2015, we incurred charges of $215 million, which are comprised of (i) a write-off of the applicable IPR&D assets, totaling $170 million, which is included in Asset impairments; (ii) a write-off of amounts prepaid to Celltrion in the amount of $25 million, which is included in Asset impairments; and (iii) a payment to Celltrion of $20 million, which is included in Exit costs. | |||
[2] | The asset impairment charges for 2017 are largely associated with our acquisitions of Hospira and Medivation. The asset impairment charges included in restructuring charges for 2017 and 2016 are primarily associated with abandoned assets. The asset impairment charges for 2015 are primarily associated with our acquisition of Hospira. See (a) above for additional information. | |||
[3] | Transaction costs represent external costs for banking, legal, accounting and other similar services, which in 2017 are directly related to our acquisitions of Hospira, Anacor and Medivation. Transaction costs in 2016 are mostly related to our acquisitions of Medivation and Anacor, and the terminated transaction with Allergan. Transaction costs in 2015 represent external costs directly related to the acquisition of Hospira and the terminated transaction with Allergan and primarily include expenditures for banking, legal, accounting and other similar services. | |||

[2] | In April 2017, we settled the remaining obligation associated with the Hospira U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan. We purchased a group annuity contract on behalf of the remaining plan participants with a third-party insurance provider. As a result, we were relieved of the $156 million net pension benefit obligation and recorded a pretax settlement gain of $41 million, partially offset by the recognition of actuarial losses and prior service costs upon plan settlement of approximately $30 million in Restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs during the second quarter of 2017 (see Note 3). In 2015, the net periodic benefit costs included settlement losses primarily related to participants accepting the lump-sum option made in an offer to certain plan participants to elect a lump-sum payment to settle Pfizer’s pension obligation with those participants, or to elect an early annuity. |

Employee termination costs are generally recorded when the actions are probable and estimable and include accrued severance benefits, pension and postretirement benefits, many of which may be paid out during periods after termination.The restructuring activities in 2017 are associated with the following:•IH ($64 million income); EH ($4 million income); WRD/GPD ($80 million); manufacturing operations ($115 million); and Corporate ($51 million).The restructuring activities in 2016 are associated with the following:•IH ($272 million); EH ($158 million); WRD/GPD ($169 million); manufacturing operations ($368 million); and Corporate ($189 million), The restructuring activities in 2015, which include a $39 million charge related to a 36% reduction in our labor force in Venezuela, are associated with the following:•IH ($85 million); EH ($402 million); WRD/GPD ($80 million); manufacturing operations ($80 million); and Corporate ($164 million). In September 2015, in order to eliminate certain redundancies in Pfizer’s biosimilar drug products pipeline created as a result of the acquisition of Hospira, Pfizer opted to return rights to Celltrion that Hospira had previously acquired to potential biosimilars to Rituxan® (rituximab) and Herceptin® (trastuzumab). As such, upon return of the acquired rights, in 2015, we incurred charges of $215 million, which are comprised of (i) a write-off of the applicable IPR&D assets, totaling $170 million, which is included in Asset impairments; (ii) a write-off of amounts prepaid to Celltrion in the amount of $25 million, which is included in Asset impairments; and (iii) a payment to Celltrion of $20 million, which is included in Exit costs. | |||||

[1] | 2017 v. 2016––Interest income decreased primarily driven by a lower investment balance. Interest expense increased, primarily as a result of higher short-term interest rates, offset, in part, by the retirement of high-coupon debt and the issuance of new low-coupon debt. Capitalized interest expense totaled $72 million 2017, $61 million in 2016 and $32 million in 2015. | ||||||||

[3] | In 2015, represents a foreign currency loss related to conditions in Venezuela during 2015, that had us resolve that our Venezuelan bolivar-denominated net monetary assets that are subject to revaluation were no longer expected to be settled at the Venezuelan government CENCOEX official rate of 6.3, but rather at the then SIMADI rate of 200, the lowest official rate. Those conditions included the inability to obtain significant conversions of Venezuelan bolivars related to intercompany U.S. dollar denominated accounts, an evaluation of the effects of the implementation of a fourth-quarter 2015 operational restructuring, resulting in a 36% reduction in our labor force in Venezuela, and our expectation of the changes in Venezuela’s responses to changes in its economy. | ||||||||
[4] | Royalty-related income decreased in 2017 and 2016, primarily due to lower royalty income for Enbrel of $470 million in 2017, compared to 2016, and $54 million in 2016, compared to 2015, resulting from the expiration on October 31, 2016 of the 36-month royalty period under the collaboration agreement for Enbrel in the U.S. and Canada (the collaboration period under the agreement expired on October 31, 2013), partially offset by increases in Xtandi royalty-related income of $176 million in 2017, compared to 2016, and $63 million in 2016, compared to 2015. | ||||||||

In addition, 2016 includes a settlement related to a patent matter. In 2015, primarily includes $784.6 million related to an agreement in principle reached in February 2016 and finalized in April 2016 to resolve claims alleging that Wyeth's practices relating to the calculation of Medicaid rebates for its drug, Protonix (pantoprazole sodium), between 2001 and 2006, several years before Pfizer acquired Wyeth in 2009, violated the Federal Civil False Claims Act and other laws. | ||||||||

[1] | Reflects intangible assets written down to fair value in 2017. Fair value was determined using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method, also known as the discounted cash flow method. We started with a forecast of all the expected net cash flows associated with the asset and then applied an asset-specific discount rate to arrive at a net present value amount. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include: the amount and timing of the projected net cash flows, which includes the expected impact of competitive, legal and/or regulatory forces on the product; the discount rate, which seeks to reflect the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows; and the tax rate, which seeks to incorporate the geographic diversity of the projected cash flows. |

[2] | Reflects intangible assets written down to fair value in 2017. Fair value was determined using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method, also known as the discounted cash flow method. We started with a forecast of all the expected net cash flows associated with the asset and then applied an asset-specific discount rate to arrive at a net present value amount. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include: the amount and timing of the projected net cash flows, which includes the expected impact of competitive, legal and/or regulatory forces on the product; the discount rate, which seeks to reflect the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows; and the tax rate, which seeks to incorporate the geographic diversity of the projected cash flows. |

[1] | 2016 v. 2015––The increase in the domestic loss was primarily due to a charge related to the write-down of HIS net assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell, higher asset impairments, and higher restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs, partially offset by the inclusion of a full year of legacy U.S. Hospira operations as compared to four months of U.S. operations in 2015, and lower charges for legal matters. The increase in international income is primarily due to the non-recurrence of a foreign currency loss related to Venezuela partially offset by a charge related to the write-down of HIS net assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell, and higher restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs. | |||
[2] | 2017 v. 2016––The decrease in the domestic loss was primarily due to lower restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs, the non-recurrence of the 2016 impairment on the remeasurement of HIS net assets, lower certain asset impairments and lower certain legal matters, partially offset by higher net losses on early retirement of debt, and higher amortization of intangible assets. The increase in international income was primarily due to the non-recurrence of the 2016 impairment on the remeasurement of HIS net assets, lower restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs, and lower certain asset impairments. | |||

[1] | For a discussion about the enactment of the TCJA, see Note 5A. | |||
[2] | For taxation of non-U.S. operations, this rate impact reflects the income tax rates and relative earnings in the locations where we do business outside the U.S., together with the cost of repatriation decisions, which includes the repatriation tax on deemed repatriated current year earnings of foreign subsidiaries discussed in Note 5A, as well as changes in uncertain tax positions not included in the reconciling item called “Tax settlements and resolution of certain tax positions”. Specifically: (i) the jurisdictional location of earnings is a significant component of our effective tax rate each year as tax rates outside the U.S. are generally lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate, and the rate impact of this component is influenced by the specific location of non-U.S. earnings and the level of such earnings as compared to our total earnings; (ii) the cost of repatriation decisions, and other U.S. tax implications of our foreign operations, is a significant component of our effective tax rate each year and generally offsets some of the reduction to our effective tax rate each year resulting from the jurisdictional location of earnings; and (iii) the impact of changes in uncertain tax positions not included in the reconciling item called “Tax settlements and resolution of certain tax positions” is a component of our effective tax rate each year that can result in either an increase or decrease to our effective tax rate. The jurisdictional mix of earnings, which includes the impact of the location of earnings as well as repatriation costs, can vary as a result of the repatriation decisions, as a result of operating fluctuations in the normal course of business and as a result of the extent and location of other income and expense items, such as restructuring charges, asset impairments and gains and losses on strategic business decisions. See also Note 5A for the components of pre-tax income and Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income, which is based on the location of the taxing authorities, and for information about settlements and other items impacting Provision/(benefit) for taxes on income. | |||
[3] | In all periods presented, the reduction in our effective tax rate resulting from the jurisdictional location of earnings is largely due to generally lower tax rates, as well as manufacturing and other incentives associated with our subsidiaries in Puerto Rico and Singapore. 2015 and 2016 also include incentives in Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic related to the Hospira infusion systems business, which was sold to ICU Medical in February 2017. We benefit from a Puerto Rican incentive grant that expires in 2029. Under the grant, we are partially exempt from income, property and municipal taxes. In Singapore, we benefit from incentive tax rates effective through 2031 on income from manufacturing and other operations. | |||
[4] | The favorable rate impact in 2017 also reflects lower repatriation costs associated with estimated current year income of our foreign subsidiaries. The favorable rate impact in 2016 also includes the non-recurrence of the non-deductibility of a foreign currency loss related to Venezuela. The rate impact in 2015 also includes the non-deductibility of a foreign currency loss related to Venezuela. | |||
[5] | For a discussion about tax settlements and resolution of certain tax positions, the impact of U.S. Healthcare Legislation, the U.S. R&D tax credit and manufacturing deduction and the impact of certain legal settlements and charges, see Note 5A. | |||
[6] | All other, net in 2017 and 2015 primarily relates to tax benefits associated with certain tax initiatives in the normal course of business. |

[1] | For the U.S. and international pension plans, the benefit obligation is the PBO. For the postretirement plans, the benefit obligation is the ABO.

The ABO for our U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) pension plans was $1.5 billion in 2017 and $1.4 billion in 2016. The ABO for our international pension plans was $10.1 billion in 2017 and $9.3 billion in 2016. | |||||
[2] | The favorable change in the funded status of our postretirement plans was primarily due to a change to reimbursements of certain benefits provided under the plan, partially offset by plan losses resulting from the decrease in the discount rate at the end of 2017. | |||||
[3] | In 2017 and 2016, the changes to Other comprehensive (income)/loss for the international plans was impacted by foreign currency movements. For details of the changes in Other comprehensive (income)/loss, see the benefit plan activity in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. | |||||
[4] | In April 2017, we settled the remaining obligation associated with the Hospira U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan. We purchased a group annuity contract on behalf of the remaining plan participants with a third-party insurance provider. As a result, we were relieved of the $156 million net pension benefit obligation and recorded a pretax settlement gain of $41 million, partially offset by the recognition of actuarial losses and prior service costs upon plan settlement of approximately $30 million in Restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs during the second quarter of 2017 (see Note 3). In 2015, the net periodic benefit costs included settlement losses primarily related to participants accepting the lump-sum option made in an offer to certain plan participants to elect a lump-sum payment to settle Pfizer’s pension obligation with those participants, or to elect an early annuity. | |||||
[5] | The favorable change in the funded status of our U.S. qualified plans was primarily due to an increase in the actual return on assets, partially offset by plan losses resulting from the decrease in the discount rate at the end of 2017. | |||||
[6] | The favorable change in the international plans’ funded status was primarily due to an increase in the actual return on plan assets, partially offset by plan losses related to a decrease in the discount rate and unfavorable currency movements. |

[1] | For the U.S. and international pension plans, the benefit obligation is the PBO. For the postretirement plans, the benefit obligation is the ABO. The ABO for all of our U.S. qualified pension plans was $16.7 billion in 2017 and $15.4 billion in 2016. The ABO for our U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) pension plans was $1.5 billion in 2017 and $1.4 billion in 2016. The ABO for our international pension plans was $10.1 billion in 2017 and $9.3 billion in 2016. | |||||
[2] | The favorable change in the funded status of our postretirement plans was primarily due to a change to reimbursements of certain benefits provided under the plan, partially offset by plan losses resulting from the decrease in the discount rate at the end of 2017. | |||||

[4] | The favorable change in the funded status of our U.S. qualified plans was primarily due to an increase in the actual return on assets, partially offset by plan losses resulting from the decrease in the discount rate at the end of 2017. | |||||
[5] | In April 2017, we settled the remaining obligation associated with the Hospira U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan. We purchased a group annuity contract on behalf of the remaining plan participants with a third-party insurance provider. As a result, we were relieved of the $156 million net pension benefit obligation and recorded a pretax settlement gain of $41 million, partially offset by the recognition of actuarial losses and prior service costs upon plan settlement of approximately $30 million in Restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs during the second quarter of 2017 (see Note 3). In 2015, the net periodic benefit costs included settlement losses primarily related to participants accepting the lump-sum option made in an offer to certain plan participants to elect a lump-sum payment to settle Pfizer’s pension obligation with those participants, or to elect an early annuity. | |||||
[6] | The favorable change in the international plans’ funded status was primarily due to an increase in the actual return on plan assets, partially offset by plan losses related to a decrease in the discount rate and unfavorable currency movements. |

These accumulated actuarial losses are recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and are amortized into net periodic benefit costs primarily over the average remaining service period for active participants for plans that are not frozen or the expected life expectancy of plan participants for frozen plans, using the corridor approach. |

[2] | 2016 v. 2015––The increase in the domestic loss was primarily due to a charge related to the write-down of HIS net assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell, higher asset impairments, and higher restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs, partially offset by the inclusion of a full year of legacy U.S. Hospira operations as compared to four months of U.S. operations in 2015, and lower charges for legal matters.
