Philadelphia, PA – June 2, 2008 – Lannett Company, Inc. (AMEX:LCI), a manufacturer of generic pharmaceuticals, today said that it expects to commence marketing Amantadine Hydrochloride Soft Gel Capsules 100mg, within the next several months. According to Wolters Kluwer, annual sales in 2007 of both the generic and brand product totaled $30 million.

Lannett will receive finished product from Banner Pharmacaps, Inc., under a previously announced supply agreement. Banner received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) last week for Amantadine Hydrochloride Soft Gel Capsules USP 100 mg, the generic equivalent of USL Pharma’s Symmetrel®.

“Amantadine is an important addition to our portfolio and represents the second product for Lannett resulting from strategic alliances formed in the past few years,” said Arthur Bedrosian, president and chief executive officer of Lannett. “We expect these alliances to continue to bear fruit, as our partners have a number of additional product applications currently under review at FDA.”

Bedrosian added that the company’s efforts to augment its product offering through strategic alliances complement internal drug development. During the last six months, Lannett has received five ANDA approvals including Phentermine Hydrochloride Capsules, Bethanechol Chloride Tablets (two separate ANDA approvals), Rifampin Capsules and Dipyridamole Tablets.

Amantadine Hydrochloride Soft Gel Capsules are indicated for the prophylaxis and treatment of signs and symptoms of infection caused by various strains of influenza A virus. Amantadine Hydrochloride Capsules are also indicated in the treatment of parkinsonism and drug-induced extrapyramidal reactions.
