Bradley Pharmaceuticals Launches Authorized Generic of ADOXA(R)

    FAIRFIELD, N.J., June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bradley
 Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ( BDY) today announced the launch of its
 authorized generic version for ADOXA(R) 150 mg strength doxycycline
 monohydrate tablets. In accordance with a licensing and distribution
 agreement with Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc., Par began immediate
 shipments of the 150 mg strength tablets after the approval of another
 generic product. ADOXA(R) is an antibiotic therapy primarily used for the
 treatment of acne.
     "While this strength of ADOXA(R) represented approximately 18.5% of
 Bradley's 2006 net sales, we proactively planned for this launch to
 commence once a generic version became available," stated Daniel Glassman,
 President and CEO of Bradley Pharmaceuticals. "Since 2005, Par has been our
 exclusive partner with authorized generic ADOXA(R) formulations and
 maintains about a 55% market share of previous formulations of ADOXA(R)
 generics, including the 50 mg and 100 mg strengths of ADOXA(R)."
     Important Product Safety Information About ADOXA(R):
     ADOXA(R) Tablets are contraindicated in persons who have shown any
 sensitivity to any of the tetracyclines. The use of drugs of the
 tetracycline class during tooth development (last half of pregnancy,
 infancy, and childhood to 8 years) may cause permanent discoloration of the
 teeth (yellow-gray- brown). Photosensitivity manifested by exaggerated
 sunburn has been observed in some individuals taking tetracyclines.
 Treatment should be discontinued at first evidence of skin erythema.
 Concurrent use of tetracycline may render oral contraceptives less
 effective.
