SOUTH PLAINFIELD, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2001

Able Laboratories Inc. (OTCBB:ABRX), today announced it has received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its first-ever New Drug Application (NDA) for its unique product for the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs). It is the first branded therapeutic drug developed by Able Laboratories, the NDA application for which was filed in the first quarter of 1999. This specialty pharmaceutical product provides enhanced packaging to the patient in the form of a single blister pack containing both an antibiotic to treat the infection, and a urinary analgesic to relieve the symptoms.

Able's new specialty pharmaceutical product is aimed at providing a complete treatment for urinary tract infections, a condition that primarily afflicts women. Current treatments necessitate two separate drugs for the treatment of the infection and its associated symptoms. This may require separate prescriptions, resulting in higher costs including co-payment cost for the patient, and increased dispensing time for the pharmacist. Able's product combines the two most commonly used drugs for treating UTIs -- sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and phenazopyridine, in an easy-to-use package that enhances compliance. Studies have shown that, in general, combination packaging enhances compliance, resulting in increased efficacy. When patients take their prescription correctly, they are more likely to have a positive response to the medication, which results in reduced hospital admissions, decreased physician visits and reduced laboratory use, with an end result of substantial overall savings in health care costs.

"Our goal with this product is to provide an effective and efficient treatment for the patient," stated C. Robert Cusick, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Able Laboratories, Inc. "Our new product allows a patient to take -- in one combination pack -- the antibiotic to treat the infection along with the drug to relieve the associated pain and symptoms. And, instead of two prescriptions, the patient only has one prescription to fill, thereby reducing their costs as well as their insurance companies' expense.

"This is an important approval for us since it is our first FDA approved brand drug," continued Cusick. "We have obtained this approval, along with four ANDA approvals, within the last six months. These approvals and our other 11 pending FDA filings are the result of the Research and Development (R&D) investments we have made over the last two to three years."
