CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as well as the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus, may include forward-looking statements made within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Such forward-looking
statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as "will,"
"may," "could," "likely," "ongoing," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "target," "forecast," "goal," "objective,"
"aim" and other words and terms of similar meaning or by using future dates in connection with any discussion of, among other things, our anticipated
future operating and financial performance, business plans and prospects, in-line products and product candidates, strategic reviews, capital allocation,
business-development plans, and plans relating to share repurchases and dividends. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions,
business plans and prospects, our acquisitions of Hospira, Inc., Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Medivation, Inc., our pending acquisition of
AstraZeneca's small molecule anti-infectives business, our pending sale of Hospira Infusion Systems net assets to ICU Medical Inc., prospective
products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, interest rates, foreign exchange
rates, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, plans relating to share repurchases and dividends, government regulation and financial
results.

A list and description of risks, uncertainties and other matters can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015
and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended April 3, 2016, July 3, 2016 and October 2, 2016, in each case including in
the sections thereof captioned "Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results" and "Risk Factors," in our Current Reports
on Form 8-K, and in this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, in each case including in the section thereof captioned "Risk Factors."
You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete
set of all potential risks or uncertainties.
We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions.
Achievement of anticipated results is subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated,
estimated or projected. You should bear this in mind as you consider forward-looking statements, and you are cautioned not to put undue reliance on
forward-looking statements.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as
required by law or by the rules and regulations of the SEC. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in
our Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K reports and our other filings with the SEC.

SUMMARY
The following summary highlights information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
It does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in the notes. You should carefully read this entire prospectus
supplement, as well as the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference that are described under "Where You Can Find
More Information."
Pfizer Inc.
Pfizer is a research-based, global biopharmaceutical company. We apply science and our global resources to bring therapies to people that extend and
significantly improve their lives through the discovery, development and manufacture of healthcare products. Our global portfolio includes medicines,
vaccines and medical devices, as well as many of the world's best-known consumer healthcare products. We work across developed and emerging
markets to advance wellness, prevention, treatments and cures that challenge the most feared diseases of our time. We collaborate with healthcare
providers, governments and local communities to support and expand access to reliable, affordable healthcare around the world. Our revenues are
derived from the sale of our products, and, to a much lesser extent, from alliance agreements, under which we co-promote products discovered or
developed by other companies or us. The majority of our revenues come from the manufacture and sale of biopharmaceutical products.
We are committed to capitalizing on growth opportunities by advancing our own pipeline and maximizing the value of our in-line products, as well as
through various forms of business development, which can include alliances, licenses, joint ventures, collaborations, equity- or debt-based investments,
dispositions, mergers and acquisitions. We regularly evaluate, engage in preliminary discussions concerning, and, where appropriate, execute on these
opportunities, although we cannot predict whether we will enter into any such transaction and, if so, the terms or financing needs in connection
therewith. Pursuing these opportunities may require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which could result in increased leverage and/or a
downgrade of our credit ratings.
Pfizer Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 2, 1942. Our principal executive offices are located at 235 East 42nd Street,
New York, NY 10017-5755 and our telephone number is (212) 733-2323.
Recent Developments
Concurrently with this offering of notes, we have commenced a cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase for cash any and all of our 6.200%
Senior Notes due March 15, 2019 (CUSIP No. 717081 DB6), of which $3,250,000,000 is currently outstanding (the "Tender Notes"). The Tender Offer
is being made upon the terms and conditions set forth in our offer to purchase, dated November 14, 2016 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the related
letter of transmittal and notice of guaranteed delivery, which together, as they may be amended from time to time, constitute the "Tender Offer
Documents."
The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 18, 2016, unless extended. The "Settlement Date" is scheduled
to be November 21, 2016, assuming that the conditions to the Tender Offer are satisfied or waived and the Tender Offer is not extended.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/78003/000104746916016741/a2230304z424b5.htm[11/16/2016 9:43:59 AM]

The Tender Offer is subject to a number of conditions that may be waived or changed. This offering is not conditioned on the closing of the Tender
Offer, and we cannot assure you that we will repurchase the Tender Notes on the terms we describe in this prospectus supplement or at all.
In the event that all of the Tender Notes are not tendered and accepted in the Tender Offer, we intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from this
offering to redeem such outstanding Tender Notes in accordance with the terms of the make-whole provisions under the indenture governing the Tender
Notes.

Risk factors
You should consider carefully all the information set forth and incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus and, in particular, you should evaluate the information set
forth under the heading "Risk Factors" in this prospectus supplement before investing in the notes.
S-4
Table of Contents
RISK FACTORS
Before purchasing the notes, you should consider carefully the information under the headings "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2015 and the following risk factors. You should also carefully consider the other information included in this prospectus
supplement, the accompanying prospectus and other information incorporated by reference herein and therein. Each of the risks described in these
documents could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a partial or
complete loss of your investment. See "Where You Can Find More Information."
The notes are unsecured and will be effectively junior to our secured indebtedness to the extent of the collateral therefor.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/78003/000104746916016741/a2230304z424b5.htm[11/16/2016 9:43:59 AM]

The notes are our unsecured general obligations. Holders of our secured indebtedness, if any, will have claims that are prior to your claims as holders of
the notes, to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness. Thus, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar
proceeding, our pledged assets would be available to satisfy obligations of our secured indebtedness before any payment could be made on the notes. To
the extent that such assets cannot satisfy in full our secured indebtedness, the holders of such indebtedness would have a claim for any shortfall that
would rank equally in right of payment with the notes. In any of the foregoing events, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay
amounts due on the notes. As a result, holders of the notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of our secured indebtedness. At October 2, 2016,
Pfizer Inc. had no secured indebtedness.
Active trading markets may not develop for the notes and the notes may trade at a discount from their initial offering price.
The notes are new issuances of securities for which no public trading markets currently exist. Although the underwriters have informed us that they
intend to make markets in the notes, they are not obligated to do so, and any such market-making activities may be discontinued at any time without
notice. Accordingly, liquid markets for the notes may not develop or be maintained. The notes will not be listed on any national securities exchange or
be quoted on any automated dealer quotation system.
In addition, subsequent to their initial issuance, the notes may trade at a discount from their initial offering prices, depending upon prevailing interest
rates, the markets for similar notes, our performance and other factors. The markets for the notes may not be free from disruptions that may adversely
affect the prices at which you may sell the notes.
Holders of the notes will be structurally subordinated to our subsidiaries' third-party indebtedness and obligations.
The notes are obligations of Pfizer Inc. exclusively and not of any of our subsidiaries. A significant portion of our operations is conducted through our
subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities that have no obligation to pay any amounts due under the notes or to make any funds available
therefor, whether by dividends, loans or other payments. Except to the extent we are a creditor with recognized claims against our subsidiaries, all
claims of third-party creditors (including trade creditors) and holders of preferred stock, if any, of our subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the
assets of such subsidiaries over the claims of our creditors, including holders of the notes. Consequently, the notes will be structurally subordinated to
all existing and future liabilities of any of our subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that we may in the future acquire or establish. As of October 2, 2016,
our wholly-owned subsidiaries had aggregate borrowings under lines of credit and outstanding debt securities of approximately $8.5 billion.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
Our consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 through 2015 and the nine months ended October 2,
2016 is set forth below. All financial information for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 reflects the June 24, 2013 disposition of
Zoetis Inc. and its presentation as a discontinued operation. All financial information for the year ended December 31, 2011 reflects Capsugel (the sale
of which closed on August 1, 2011) as a discontinued operation. The financial information for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 reflects the
Nutrition business, which was acquired in 2009 and which we sold on November 30, 2012, as a discontinued operation.
For the purpose of computing these ratios, "earnings" consists of income from continuing operations before provision for taxes on income,
noncontrolling interests and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles less noncontrolling interests plus fixed charges, distributed income of
equity-method investments, amortization of capitalized interest, excluding capitalized interest and equity income from equity-method investments.
"Fixed charges" consists of interest expense (which includes amortization of debt premium, discount and other debt costs), preferred stock dividends,
one-third of rental expense, which we believe to be a conservative estimate of an interest factor in our leases, which are not material, and capitalized
interest. The ratio was calculated by dividing the sum of the earnings (as defined above) by the sum of the fixed charges (as defined above).

USE OF PROCEEDS
We expect to receive net proceeds from this offering of $5,945,725,000 (after deducting underwriting discounts, but before deducting expenses of the

offering). We intend to use the net proceeds to fund the purchase of the Tender Notes validly tendered and accepted for payment in the Tender Offer
and to fund the redemption of any of the Tender Notes that remain outstanding after the completion of the Tender Offer in accordance with the terms of
the make-whole provisions of the indenture governing the Tender Notes. We intend to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes,
including to refinance, redeem or repurchase existing debt and to repay a portion of our outstanding commercial paper. As of November 8, 2016, we
had approximately $8 billion of commercial paper outstanding with a weighted average annual interest rate of 0.68% and a weighted average maturity of
58 days.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
Each series of notes is a series of debt securities described in the accompanying prospectus. Reference should be made to the accompanying prospectus
for a detailed summary of additional provisions of the notes and of the indenture dated as of January 30, 2001 between Pfizer and The Bank of New
York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as
trustee, which we refer to as the "base indenture," as supplemented by the seventh supplemental indenture to be dated as of November 21, 2016 between
Pfizer Inc. and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, which we refer to as the "seventh supplemental indenture." When we refer to the "indenture,"
we mean the base indenture as supplemented by the seventh supplemental indenture. The following description is a summary of selected portions of the
base indenture and the seventh supplemental indenture. It does not restate the base indenture or the seventh supplemental indenture, and those

The indenture contains a provision that restricts our ability to consolidate with or merge into any other person or convey or transfer our properties and
assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other person. The indenture does not restrict our ability to convey or transfer our properties and
assets other than as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other person. See "Description of Debt Securities--Consolidation, Merger or Sale"
in the accompanying prospectus. The indenture contains no other restrictive covenants, including those that would afford holders of the notes protection
in the event of a highly-leveraged transaction involving Pfizer or any of its affiliates or other events involving us that may adversely affect our
creditworthiness or the value of the notes. The indenture also does not contain any covenants relating to total indebtedness, interest coverage, stock
repurchases, recapitalizations, dividends and distributions to shareholders, current ratios or acquisitions and divestitures. The notes will not have the
benefit of covenants that relate to subsidiary guarantees, liens and sale leaseback transactions that apply to other of our existing unsecured and
unsubordinated notes.
Further Issues
Pfizer may, without the consent of the holders of notes of any series, issue additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity
and other terms as the notes of any series (except for the issue date and the public offering price). Any additional notes having such similar terms,
together with the notes of the applicable series, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the indenture. No additional notes of any series
may be issued if an event of default has occurred with respect to the notes of that series. Pfizer will not issue any additional notes intended to form a
single series with the notes of any series, unless such further notes will be fungible with all notes of the same series for U.S. federal income tax
purposes.
Optional Redemption; No Sinking Fund
At our option, we may redeem the notes of any series, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time. The redemption price will be equal to the
greater of the following amounts:
·
100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed on the redemption date; and
·
the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes being redeemed on that
redemption date (not including the amount, if any, of accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date) discounted to
the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), as determined by the Independent Investment
Banker (as defined below), plus 10 basis points in the case of the 2019 notes, plus 10 basis points in the case of the 2021 notes, plus 15
basis points in the case of the 2026 notes, plus 15 basis points in the case of the 2036 notes and plus 20 basis points in the case of the
2046 notes;
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the applicable notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a
redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to
the applicable notes and the indenture. The redemption price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
We will mail notice of any redemption at least 10 days, but not more than 60 days, before the redemption date to each registered holder of the notes to
be redeemed. Once notice of redemption is mailed, the notes called for redemption will become due and payable on the redemption date at the
applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest applicable to such notes to, but excluding, the redemption date.

"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date and series of notes to be
redeemed, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for such
series (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference
Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date for any series of notes, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to

On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or any portion of the notes called for redemption (unless we default in the
payment of the redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest). On or before the redemption date, we will deposit with a paying agent (or the trustee)
money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be redeemed on that date. If fewer than all of the notes
of any series are to be redeemed, the notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by DTC, in the case of notes represented by a global security, or by
the trustee by a method the trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, in the case of notes that are not represented by a global security.
The notes are not entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund.
