San Diego Company Strengthens Partnerships With Drug Prevention Leaders; Phamatech Incorporated, in Support of Its Efforts to End Drug Abuse, Donates to Nonprofits and Public Service Agencies Aimed at a Drug-Free America.

SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego-based biotech company, Phamatech Incorporated, has extended its commitment and collaboration with the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA), for three years to help eliminate drug abuse.

Phamatech is the developer, manufacturer and producer of the best-selling rapid diagnostic At-Home Drug Test. Phamatech Inc. is continuing its work with, and support of, CADCA, the national nonprofit membership organization that represents coalitions working to make America's communities safe, healthy and drug-free. Confronting the drug problem is an effort that requires a multifaceted approach, and this partnership is tackling the problem head-on through prevention, education, identification and early intervention.

Phamatech's At-Home Drug Test, the first over-the-counter FDA-cleared test is a urine-based test that can be used in the privacy of the home and provide results in less than 10 minutes. It can accurately test for marijuana, cocaine, ecstacy, amphetamine, methamphetamine and opiates (including codeine, morphine and heroin), as well as other drug analogs such as hydromorphone and hydrocodone. Phamatech's At-Home Drug Test is sold in most major pharmacies throughout the country, including CVS/pharmacy, Walgreen's, Rite Aid, Albertson's, Eckerd's and Long's. The At-Home Drug Test costs between $15.00 and $30.00, making it accessible and affordable.

Each test also comes with a free confirmation component that is performed in a lab, which can verify positive readings with 98% accuracy, eliminating potential false positives. The results are given toll-free over the phone by counselors who maintain strict confidentially and provide information and counseling referrals for treatment.

Phamatech is currently working with Five Star Productions, one of America's largest independent television production companies, on their Emmy-winning series "Parenting and Beyond" to illustrate how parents can initiate a conversation with their children about drugs. This program will air in the fall nationwide.

Phamatech continues in its effort to reduce drug abuse and provide accessible, confidential and easy-to-use products to test for drug use and provide avenues to end addiction. With its partnerships with CADCA, and "Parenting and Beyond," the At-Home Drug Test will continue to help families in the fight to end drug use.
