Stellar Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Stellar" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: SLX)(OTCBB: SLXCF) today announced that for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, total operating revenues improved by 20.7%. This improvement was driven by increased international sales for NeoVisc (up 160.7%), while cost of products sold for the period improved to 23.5% of product sales compared to 27.8% of product sales in the same period in 2007. The reduction in cost of products sold was a result of a decrease in the cost of materials used in the manufacturing process, as well as healthier production yields. These positive operating changes resulted in a gross profit increase of 29.2% over the same six month period in 2007.

In the second quarter of 2008, increased sales revenue was mainly a result of the growth in international sales of NeoVisc, which grew by 184.0%, as Stellar's new European partners increased their market penetration. Total Canadian market sales for the quarter increased 10.3% compared to the same period in 2007, with Uracyst sales attributing to a 19.8% increase and BladderChek sales contributing to the increase, with a 23.4% improvement compared to the second quarter of 2007.

Peter Riehl, Stellar's President and CEO stated, "The Company is pleased with its continued growth in both revenues and gross profits during the second quarter of 2008. Gross profits during the quarter increased 14.4% over same period in 2007. This increase occurred despite the termination of the European Uracyst license agreement on March 31, 2008 and therefore, lack of royalty revenues recorded in this quarter. The Company is currently in negotiations with several potential partners for Uracyst, in the major European markets. Management believes that with these agreements in place, increased revenues from such agreements, should provide for an improved bottom line, in the latter part of 2008."

As at June 30, 2008, the Company was debt free and had working capital of $3,235,300 of which $2,764,900 was in cash or cash equivalents.

Purchasing of Equity Securities

Pursuant to the terms of the Company's normal course issuer bid, the Company, as of the date of this report, has purchased 147,500 of its common shares at an average purchase price of $0.36.
