CALIFON, NJ, Jan. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - PediatRx Inc. ("PediatRx") (OTCBB: PEDX), a hospital specialty company with a current focus on oncology supportive care, is pleased to provide an update on activities for the fiscal third quarter ended November 30, 2011.  Major accomplishments in the fiscal third quarter include the appointment of pharmaceutical senior executive Paul J. Richardson to the company's Board of Directors and entering into a U.S. co-promotion agreement for AQUORAL™.

"We are excited by our many successes on the corporate front in the fiscal third quarter," said Dr. Cameron Durrant, Founder of PediatRx.  "Adding an executive with Paul's extensive experience and insight has already contributed to the strategic discussions in the company. The addition of AQUORAL is complementary to GRANISOL™ because both products have a similar audience. We expect these achievements, coupled with our focused marketing strategy and 12 sales reps in the field, will contribute to an exciting fourth quarter."
