VERNON HILLS, Ill.-Winston Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC BB: WPHM) (the “Company”) today announced that Joel E. Bernstein, M.D., the founder of Winston Laboratories, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Winston Labs”), will resign as Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective September 22, 2009, and that the Company’s Board of Directors has elected Jeffrey R.

Dr. Jeffrey Bernstein graduated Amherst College summa cum laude, was a Fulbright Scholar resident in Japan, and received an A.M. and Ph.D. in Business Economics from Harvard University. Following stints as an Advanced Research Fellow at Harvard and an academic position in public affairs and applied economics at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, Dr. Jeffrey Bernstein joined Winston Labs in 2001 where he moved through a succession of positions culminating in Chief Operating Officer from 2005 – 2007.

“I am very pleased that Jeffrey has agreed to succeed me as CEO of Winston,” said Joel Bernstein. “Jeffrey’s knowledge of the business aspects of the pharmaceutical industry is nonpareil, and with the addition of his youth and vigor, he provides us with a top officer with the requisite skill set to take the Company into its next phase of its growth. I will remain actively involved with the Company’s R&D and business development programs.”
Bob Yolles stated, “I have worked closely and successfully with Jeffrey in the past during my tenure as Chairman of the Board of Winston Labs, and I welcome the opportunity for us to join together as the Company moves forward.”
