FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

DrugMax, Inc. Amends and Increases Its Credit Facility

Farmington, CT, December 10, 2004 – DrugMax, Inc. (Nasdaq: DMAXD), a specialty pharmacy and drug distribution provider, today announced that it has entered into an Amended Credit Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC). The Amended Credit Agreement, which matures in December 2007, increases DrugMax’s existing credit facility from $31 million to $65 million. GECC acted as lender and agent in the transaction. In conjunction with the completion of the Amended Credit Agreement, the credit facility in place at DrugMax at the time of its merger last month with Familymeds Group, Inc. was terminated.

“We have accomplished a lot over the past six weeks to position our unique integrated specialty drug distribution platform for growth,” said Ed Mercadante, R.Ph., Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DrugMax. “In November, we completed the merger of DrugMax and Familymeds. In December, we have announced the closing of a $17 million private placement financing and the opening of a new Worksite Pharmacy^SM at the Mohegan Sun Casino. We are making great strides in executing our business plan and our amended credit facility will allow us to continue the momentum.”

“Our enhanced credit facility significantly strengthens our financial flexibility to capitalize on the numerous opportunities we have before us in the specialty pharmacy and drug marketplace,” said Dale Ribaudo, Chief Financial Officer of DrugMax. “We look forward to continuing to work hard to deliver value to our customers - patients, doctors, health insurance providers, medical centers and employers across the U.S.”
