FAIRFIELD, N.J., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bradley Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: BDY) today announced that its Kenwood Therapeutics division will feature Elestrin(TM) (estradiol gel 0.06%) at the 18th Annual North American Menopause Society (NAMS) Annual Meeting to be held in Dallas, Texas from October 3-6, 2007.

Elestrin(TM) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2006, and launched in June by the Kenwood Therapeutics division.
