Date:10/10/2008

SWARTZ CREEK, Mich., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy announced today that Teva Neuroscience has selected Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy to be one of only three sites to participate in a large scale, national Therapy Optimization Study for Multiple Sclerosis (TOP MS).

The goal, of the two year TOP MS study, is to examine the benefits of a specialty pharmacy therapy management program on compliance, adherence and patient outcomes. Targeted patient outcomes will include: Relapses, Disability Progression, Quality of Life, and Work and Usual Activity Participation.

"We are honored that Teva Neuroscience selected Diplomat to participate in this study," said Phil Hagerman, President and CEO of Diplomat. "I have no doubt that the TOP MS study will validate the benefits of our patient centric model. When we focus on adherence and tolerance, and offer patients a personalized medication program, we can reduce the frequency and severity of relapses and ultimately improve the quality of life."

"Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy was selected to participate in this study because they have shown a commitment to therapy management in MS that is exemplary among Specialty Pharmacies," said MerriKay Oleen-Burkey, Project Leader for the TOP MS Study at Teva Neuroscience.

"This really is a credit to Diplomat's industry leading MS Navigator program that currently benefits physicians and especially MS patients across the country," said Ken Visser, Diplomat's National Accounts Manager for Multiple Sclerosis. "At Diplomat we maximize therapy adherence by enhancing patient education and prescriber communication. Using our exclusive eNAV(TM) patient care software system, we can electronically record and report our patients' therapy and disease. All of this combined amounts to some of the highest patient adherence numbers in the country."
