SCOLR Pharma Announces Achievement of Milestone With Wyeth Consumer Healthcare

Bellevue, WA, September 26, 2006 — SCOLR Pharma, Inc (AMEX: DDD) announced today that it has achieved a development milestone which will result in a payment under its previously disclosed Development and License Agreement with Wyeth Consumer Healthcare, a division of Wyeth (NYSE:WYE - News). SCOLR Pharma expects to report the milestone payment as research and development revenues for the quarter ending September 30, 2006. In addition, Wyeth agreed to reimburse SCOLR for certain research and development costs already incurred and pay ongoing expenses associated with development of the first product.

Under the agreement, signed in December 2005, SCOLR Pharma granted Wyeth Consumer Healthcare the worldwide rights to utilize the Company’s proprietary and patented CDT drug delivery platform for potential use in an OTC formulation. There is currently no formulation of this type approved for use in North America. Total global OTC sales of the market in which the product would compete are estimated at more than $8 billion according to IMS Review Plus data.

The Development and License Agreement also contemplates further arrangements between SCOLR Pharma and Wyeth Consumer Healthcare with respect to other potential products that utilize SCOLR Pharma’s proprietary CDT drug delivery platform.

Daniel O. Wilds, President and CEO, said, “We are very pleased to have successfully met our first milestone with Wyeth Consumer Healthcare to develop an OTC formulation using our CDT drug delivery technology. This payment highlights the value of SCOLR Pharma’s proprietary and patented CDT technology, which is currently used in six marketed products.”
