From Victory Pharma

October 11, 2004

Dear RxLink Pharmacist:

Effective immediately, Victory Pharma, Inc. is pleased to announce the new single source branded formulations of the Duratess product line. This includes Duratess Tablets, Duratess GP Tablets, Duratess DM Elixir, and Duratess HD Elixir. Indications and dosing will remain identical to the previous formulations. There is no generic equivalent to any of these products as these formulations are protected under patents that are pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

The following products no longer contain pseudoephedrine: Duratess Tablets, Duratess GP Tablets and Duratess HC Elixir. Instead, the new formulations will contain phenylephrine as a decongestant. The move away form pseudoephedrine was spurred by market events (e.g. legislation passed by several states which addresses theft, diversion, and special handling requirements). Victory Pharma, Inc. is sensitive to concerns associated with these actions and is taking a proactive stance by replacing pseudoephedrine in its product line.

The new formulations will be available for you to order through your primary and secondary wholesalers the week of October 11. Please update your system appropriately with the new NDC numbers.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

Victory Pharma, Inc.
