Santarus

We are a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing proprietary products that address the needs of patients treated by gastroenterologists or primary care physicians. Our current products are immediate-release formulations of omeprazole, a widely prescribed proton pump inhibitor, or PPI. PPIs are the most frequently prescribed drugs for the treatment of many upper gastrointestinal, or GI, diseases and disorders. We currently market ZEGERIDŽ (omeprazole/sodium bicarbonate) Capsules and ZEGERID (omeprazole/sodium bicarbonate) Powder for Oral Suspension. These products are the first and only immediate-release oral PPIs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for commercial sale in the U.S. (see Products for more information). ZEGERID Capsules and ZEGERID Powder for Oral Suspension are being marketed in the U.S. by a field sales force of over 500 sales representatives who promote ZEGERID products in the primary detail position. Our sales force presence includes approximately 210 of our own field sales representatives and 170 field sales representatives under a co-promotion agreement with Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. In addition, our field sales force presence increased in early 2007 with the addition of approximately 140 contract sales representatives from inVentiv Commercial Services, LLC. The ZEGERID sales force calls on approximately 26,000 gastroenterologists and primary care physicians who are among the highest prescribing U.S. physicians for PPIs. In 2006 we reported net product sales of approximately $46 million, compared to 2005 net product sales of $13.7 million. These sales results were accomplished with only nine months of capsules sales and ZEGERID Capsules have quickly become our primary product offering. Our stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "SNTS".
