Item 8.01 Other Events

In February 2018, Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company" or "we") completed and filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") an application for the approval of our next generation Caldolor® (ibuprofen) injection product. The product features a new, patented formulation in a more convenient to use package. In April 2018, the FDA determined that the application was complete and notified us of their acceptance for review. There were then a number of communications with questions addressed through multiple amendments that were submitted to the application. On August 2, 2018, we received a complete response from the FDA outlining the additional information needed for the application’s approval. The requests were for additional quality and nonclinical data.  We held a teleconference with the FDA to discuss their additional requirements.

On September 26, 2018 the Company submitted an amendment to our application containing additional quality and nonclinical data. We now await the FDA's response and approval decision expected by late January 2019.

Caldolor is indicated in adults and pediatric patients for the management of mild to moderate pain and management of moderate to severe pain as an adjunct to opioid analgesics, as well as the reduction of fever.  It was the first FDA-approved intravenous therapy for fever.  For full prescribing instructions, including important safety information visit www.caldolor.com. Information on the website is not, and will not be deemed, a part of this report or incorporated into any other filings the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
