SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Announces Investigation of Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMPH)

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2016

The investigation concerns whether Amphastar and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On December 27, 2016, Amphastar revealed that Armstrong Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Armstrong"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, was issued a complete response letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), stating that Armstrong's New Drug Application for Primatene Mist, an epinephrine inhalation aerosol product, will not be approved in its present form.  The FDA specified that Armstrong needs to change the product's label and packaging and it should conduct another Human Factor validation study to assess consumers' ability to use the product without the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist.  Following this news, Amphastar stock dropped $1.86 per share, or 9.1%, to close at $18.57 on December 27, 2016.
