Physical facilities, page 13
Comment No. 3
You describe a new marketing office located in the Philippines. Your website indicates that Dermagen announced a new facility in the Philippines, "which will have production and distribution capability for the South Pacific and South Asian region.” Please explain this apparent inconsistency, and, if appropriate, please amend your annual report to clarify your Philippine office and its current and planned activities.
Response to Comment No. 3
At the present time, the Philippine office is used as a marketing office only, and there are no immediate plans to expand or change the business purpose of that office. The information on the website will be corrected to reflect the use of the Philippine office.
Comment No. 4
We note that you lease the premises at which you conduct various activities. In your next periodic report, please provide as an exhibit any material leases under which you hold property, or explain why you are not required to file such exhibit. See Item 601(b)(10)(ii)(D) of Regulation S-K.

We note the second through last sentences of the second paragraph, which could be understood to qualify or limit a conclusion that disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective. If you retain those sentences in future filings, please also clarify that the disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and to set forth, if true, the conclusions of the principal executive and principal financial officers that the controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at the "reasonable assurance" level.

Comment No. 7
We note your disclosure concerning the $109,202 loan to Amexdrug by the wife of your CEO to purchase Dermagen and cover operating expenses. In your next periodic report, please provide as an exhibit the document(s) evidencing the loan. See Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.

Exhibits
Comment No. 8
We note that Exhibit 21.1, the list of subsidiaries, incorporates by reference Exhibit 21.1 to the 2001 Form 10-KSB filed on April 1, 2002. Because it lists only Allied Med as a subsidiary, Exhibit 21.1 is outdated. In other respects also, it does not meet the requirements of Item 601(b)(21) of Regulation S-K. Please provide an updated exhibit that satisfies such requirements in your next annual report on Form 10-K.
Response to Comment No. 8
Amexdrug Corporation will provide an updated list of subsidiaries exhibit that satisfies the requirements of Item 601(b)(21) in Amexdrug’s next annual report on Form 10-K.
Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period Ended March 31, 2009

Comment No. 9

For example, your articles of incorporation and by-laws are required to be filed as exhibits to your Form 10-Q, and we refer to other documents in the preceding comments. Further, in your future filings, please list all required exhibits to such filings. See the Exhibit Table in Item 601 and Item 601(b)(3)(i) and (ii).
