LAM Pharmaceutical, a biomedical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel wound healing and transdermal drug delivery systems, announced today that the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration ("SFDA") has granted approval for the importation and sale of its patented LAM IPM Wound Gel(TM) in China

LAM Pharmaceutical received 510K approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for its product in April 2002. "Receiving the SFDA approval to market our IPM Wound Gel in China represents a major milestone in the Company's evolution," stated Joseph Slechta, President and Chief Executive Officer of LAM. "The approval gives us the green light to proceed with our marketing and distribution program for this large and growing market." Mr. Slechta concluded, "We are very optimistic about our prospects in China.

Market research completed by one of our potential partners confirms both the significant size of the Chinese wound care market and the perceived acceptance by the Chinese consumer of our IPM Wound Gel. According to the Boston Consulting Group, it is projected that by 2005 China will be the seventh largest pharmaceutical market in the world, with a market size for ethical and OTC drugs of $14 billion."
