Dear Mr. Riedler:
On behalf of GeoPharma, Inc., we hereby request effectiveness of the above-referenced Registration Statement, effective as of 12:00, tomorrow, December 7, 2007, or as soon thereafter as is practicable. In connection therewith, we hereby acknowledge, on behalf of our client, that:
| • | | should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; |
| • | | the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and |

Thank you in advance for your attention and cooperation with this matter. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at (813) 227-2325.
