PharmStar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces New Product Line Extension

WILSON, NC--(Marketwire - June 29, 2011) -

PharmStar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PHAR) (the “Company”) today announced that it has added an additional line extension product to Aquaprin™ called “AQUAPRIN CHILDREN & TEENAGERS.”

Yesterday, the Company received confirmation that the label for this new product meets FDA and FTC consumer warning label requirements for all products containing aspirin. The product contains 81 mg of aspirin and delivers approximately 65 mg of heart-healthy potassium. Like regular Aquaprin, the product solubilizes into a clear liquid instantly on contact with water, juices, milk, or any other water-containing liquid. The product is tasteless and has more than twice the power of aspirin tablets, powders, or oral suspensions. The product is packaged in a small 1-inch x 2-inch foil packet.

PharmStar plans to introduce a total of three products upon initial rollout:

• AQUAPRIN ORIGINAL
• AQUAPRIN DAILY REGIMEN
• AND AQUAPRIN CHILDRENS AND TEENAGERS

INSTAPRIN, for emergency administration, will follow on a few months later.

PharmStar CEO, Howard Phykitt, stated, “We estimate the size of the 81 mg market to be equal to or greater than the entire adult aspirin market. Consequently, the addition of ‘AQUAPRIN CHILDREN’S AND TEENAGERS’ to our product line opens the door to potentially double the size of the Company’s overall target market.”
