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 comp
