FAA Bans Pilot Use of Pfizer's Chantix

The non-profit said immediate safety concerns involve the drug's use by people who operate any sort of vehicle where a lapse in alertness could cause serious injury. "Other examples include persons operating nuclear power reactors, high-rise construction cranes or life-sustaining medical devices," the report says.

Pfizer reported $277 million in revenue from Chantix during the first quarter of 2008.

Shares were down 30 cents, or 1.5%, at $19.71 in recent premarket trading Thursday.
