Senators urge U.S. anti-trust review of Pfizer-AstraZeneca plan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Six U.S. senators have asked the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice to look at what they termed the anti-trust and anti-consumer implications of Pfizer's Inc potential takeover of UK's AstraZeneca PLC . "Pfizer's record of reducing efforts to innovate and bring new products to market following prior acquisitions is plain," the senators, all Democrats, wrote to the agencies' top officials.
