Auriga Laboratories Sales Force Doubles to 100 Associates since December.

Monthly Dispensed Prescriptions for Extendryl[R] Product Line Increases 146%

NORCROSS, Ga. -- Auriga Laboratories, Inc. (OTCBB:ARGA), a specialty pharmaceutical company with products for the treatment of acute respiratory diseases, dermatological conditions, and Xerostomia, reported today its sales force has exceeded 100 associates nationwide. This number comprises the company's sales associates currently detailing products, those in training, and those who will receive training over the next five weeks.

"This major milestone reflects Auriga's ability to execute its strategy to drive strong sales growth using commission-based associates," said Philip S. Pesin, Auriga's CEO. "This is especially important because I believe we are the most sales-driven company in our industry, with the most innovative and rewarding program for our associates. We have built a strong portfolio of products and established important distribution relationships which have provided them confidence and great incentives."

For Auriga, the success of this strategy is also appearing in real market numbers. Independent monthly IMS data shows Auriga's total dispensed prescriptions for its Extendryl family of products increased 146% in December 2006, as compared to December 2005.

Added Pesin, "We see this is as only the beginning, as we anticipate our fast-growing sales force, led by our new national sales director, Richard Sampson, will continue to take Auriga to new levels."

The company reported on December 14, 2006 that its sales force had expanded to 56 sales associates from nine in less than six months. It is now targeting 150 associates by the end of the first quarter 2007.

"Auriga presents a tremendous and rare sales opportunity for our associates," said Sampson. "Supported by a brilliant and unique business model, it is attracting some very strong players. This dedicated and motivated sales team will support the nationwide roll out of several new products over the coming months."

During this quarter, Auriga plans to launch Aquoral[TM], a prescription-only product designed to treat the widespread condition of Xerostomia (or dry mouth) and its Zinx[TM] family of respiratory prescription and over-the-counter products.
