Post IMAX Laboratories present @ Movement Disorder Society's- International Congress 4 PD

IMPAX Presents at
$$$$

Movement Disorder Society's 11th International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders

HAYWARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 8, 2007
- IMPAX Laboratories, Inc. (OTC:IPXL)

today announced that two poster presentations, highlighting the company's compound, IPX054, a combined immediate- and extended-release carbidopa/levodopa (CD/LD) product to be marketed as VADOVA(TM), were presented at the Movement Disorder Society's 11th International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders
in Istanbul, Turkey on June 7, 2007.

The poster presentations will be available in the Investor Relations section of the Company's Web site by clicking on Presentations.
Comparison of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Combined Immediate- and Extended-Release (IR+ER) Carbidopa/Levodopa Formulations (VADOVA IR+ER) with IR Carbidopa/Levidopa and Controlled-Release Carbidopa/Levodopa in Parkinson's Disease was presented by lead researchers John Nutt, M.D and Peter A. LeWitt, M.D.

The study results concluded that at equivalent carbidopa/levodopa dose level (50/200 mg), the combined immediate- and extended release carbidopa/levodopa preparation produces a more rapid onset of clinical response than controlled release carbidopa/levodopa, without the higher peak plasma levodopa concentrations seen with immediate-release carbidopa/levodopa 2x 25/100. The combined immediate- and extended-release preparation may offer benefits in treating Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients with motor fluctuations.

Bi-layer Formulation Of Carbidopa/Levodopa (IPX054) vs.
Standard Carbidopa/Levodopa In Stable PD Patients was presented by Christopher G. Goetz M.D. Vanessa K Hinson, M.D.
was a co-investigator of the study.

The study compared IPX054, a bi-layer tablet of immediate- and extended-release carbidopa/levodopa (CD/LD) given twice daily vs. standard CD/LD given four times daily in patients with stable PD. The study results concluded that in stable PD patients without troublesome dyskinesia, twice daily IPX054 provided comparable clinical efficacy to CD/LD given four times daily based on objectively observed assessments. Home-based video provided an objective means to assess motor fluctuations. In this population, substitution with IPX054 maintains CD/LD efficacy and provides ease of administration which may offer improved treatment compliance.

Default This is equivalent to

my "morning kickoff combination" of 1/2 tablet of 25/100 immediate relief sinemet and one 50/200 sinemet cr. I follow it with another 50/200 cr in late afternoon. It gets me going about 30 minutes or an hour earlier than the cr by itself, and the overlap between the two crs produces an even effect into the late evening.
