(Nasdaq: CEPH) announced today that it is embarking on a national educational program designed to promote greater awareness among patients, caregivers and the public about the importance of appropriate and responsible use of prescription opioid medications. The initiative, When Good Medicines Become Bad Drugs(SM), will include a series of free educational programs on timely topics. The first webcast, moderated by General Barry R. McCaffrey, former Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, will take place on Tuesday, October 21, 2008, from 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Eastern, and will focus on safeguarding medications in the home.

The aim of this program is to heighten patient and public awareness of, and responsibility for, safeguarding the use of these important medications."
