CHENGDU, China, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc., (NYSE AMEX: TPI), a manufacturer and supplier of modernized traditional Chinese medicines ("TCM") today announced that its new production facility obtained the Good Manufacturing Practices Certificate for pharmaceutical products ("GMP Certificate") from the State Food and Drug Administration ("SFDA") in China.

According to the National Medicine Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, all new pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities must pass an examination to obtain their GMP Certificates. In June 2009, the examination committee visited Tianyin Pharmaceuticals and conducted a review of management practices of its new production facility, including quality control of raw materials, manufacturing processes, and the inspection and acceptance of its finished products. Tianyin's new production facility for solid dosage drugs met all GMP standards.

"We are very pleased with the SFDA's decision to grant us the GMP certification, which is the result of hard work and dedication from our entire team," Dr. Jiang, Chairman and CEO of Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc., commented. "This certification is the final step to commencing production at our new facility and effectively tripling the capacity of our solid dosage medicines, such as Azithromycin Dispersible Tablets, Mycophenolate Mofetil Capsules, Dantong Capsules and other recently approved medicines in our portfolio. This will enable us to meet our projected 40% revenue growth for fiscal 2010 while providing the capacity to accommodate up to $100 million in annual revenues as we look toward the future."
