Cumberland Pharmaceuticals announced it has received FDA approval for Acetadote?®, an injectable remedy used to treat acetaminophen overdose.

Acetadote?® (acetylcysteine) injection will be used in an exigency room setting to prevent or abate potential liver damage resulting from an overdose of acetaminophen, the leading cause of physic toxicity in the United States.

Acetadote?® is the first injectable treatment for acetaminophen overdose available in the United States. The FDA has granted it orphan physic designation, which allows seven years of marketing exclusivity from the date of approval. Orphan physics are products used to treat conditions affecting fewer than 200000 Americans each year.

Cumberland is assembling a hospital sales force to aid the product in hospital necessity rooms and poison control center and wait fors to have it available for use in the next to the first quarter of 2004.
