Dear AlphaRx Shareholders,
As part of our continuing pro-active efforts to bring you the latest and most timely news related to your investment, AGORACOM is pleased to provide you with the following update which points to the increased need for a product such as Indaflex which is both perceived and actually safer than other more traditional arthritis pain relievers. Indaflex is a topical NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug) formulation intended to be used in the treatment of arthritis.
Within the article we’ve provided, it states that more than 66 million people in the United States have some form of arthritis — a term covering more than 100 disorders associated with stiff, swollen, painful joints. Persons suffering from the chronic pain of arthritis are looking for other solutions.
Living a healthy lifestyle can also reduce the pain suffered from arthritis however, pain sufferers will do almost anything to cure their pain and often will try anything to do so. Unproven remedies are not the solution.
We find the following article beneficial as Indaflex`s active ingredient, Indomethacin, has a long-standing and proven clinical treatment record and Indaflex is currently in Phase II clinical development in Canada for the treatment of osteoarthritis.
Please find the entire article below.
Regards,
AGORACOM Investor Relations

(April 27, 2006) — More than 66 million people in the United States have some form of arthritis. There are more than 100 types of arthritis, from osteoarthritis to rheumatoid arthritis to fibromyalgia and juvenile arthritis. Despite the large numbers of people with arthritis (according to the Centers for Disease Control, 28 percent of adults in New York state), most of us do not see arthritis as a serious disease.
Maybe it`s because so many of us have one form or another of it that many people incorrectly assume that arthritis is an inevitable part of getting older, and diagnose and treat themselves.
