"Each and every member of the Lannett team deserves credit for the successful stream of recent product approvals and the launches to come," said Arthur Bedrosian, chief executive officer of Lannett.  "We are closing in on a record year for product approvals, with 11 received thus far in calendar 2017.  The last five product approvals we received were not included in our financial guidance calculation for fiscal 2018 and therefore the launch of these products represents upside to the outlook we provided at the end of August.  We expect to commence marketing our prescription Lansoprazole Delayed-Release Capsules product in the next several months. 

"The two approvals for Lansoprazole were received by our wholly owned subsidiary, Kremers Urban Pharmaceuticals.  Through our Silarx subsidiary, we are developing a fuller line of OTC products.  We expect to launch our OTC Lansoprazole product sometime in the future."
