     (1) For the sole purpose of calculating the registration fee, the number of
shares to be registered under this Registration Statement has been divided among
four (4) subtotals.

     (2) Pursuant to Rule 457(h), these prices are calculated based on a
weighted average exercise price of $1.48 per share covering 710,748 shares
subject to stock options granted under the 1990 Incentive and Non-Qualified
Stock Option Plan.

     (3) Pursuant to Rule 457(h), these prices are calculated based on a
weighted average exercise price of $1.70 per share covering 274,695 shares
subject to stock options granted under the 1990 Incentive and Non-Qualified
Stock Option Plan.

     (4) Pursuant to Rule 457(h), these prices are calculated based on a
weighted average exercise price of $4.04 per share covering 743,090 shares
subject to stock options granted under the 1999 Incentive and Non-Qualified
Stock Option Plan.

     (5) Pursuant to Rule 457(h) and Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of
1933, the proposed maximum aggregate offering price and the amount of the
registration fee are calculated based on the average of the high and low prices
of the Company's Common Stock on December 17, 2001, as reported on the Nasdaq
National Market.

     (6) Includes an indeterminate number of shares of common stock issuable to
prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar
transactions pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


The Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such date or dates
as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file
a further amendment which specifically states that this Registration  Statement
shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the
Securities  Act of 1933 or until the Registration Statement shall become
effective on such date as the Commission,  acting pursuant to said Section 8(a),
may determine.

24.1    Opinion Letter from Attorney



Item 9. Undertakings.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability  under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference  in this
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as express in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.  The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes:



(1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made
of the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:


     (i)    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
          Securities Act of 1933;

    (ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
          effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
          post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
          aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
          in the Registration Statement; and

   (iii)    To include any material information with respect to the plan of
          distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or
          any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
          provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i)
          and (ii) above do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form
          S-3 or Form S-8 and the information  required to be included in a
          post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
          reports filed by the Registrant  pursuant to Section 13 or Section
          15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
          reference in the Registration Statement.


(2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a  new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

(3)    To remove from registration by means of a  post-effective amendment  any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

                                  SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
certifies that it has reasonable ground to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in Fairfield, New Jersey, on the 18th day of December, 2001.

     Re:   Bradley Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Gentlemen:

     We have acted as  your  counsel  in the  preparation  of a  Registration
Statement  on Form  S-8  (the "Registration  Statement")  filed by you with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission  covering  4,235,443 shares of common stock,
$.01 par value,  which may be issued by the Company in accordance  with options
and other  awards  granted  under your 1999 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock
Option Plan and your 1990 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan As used
herein, the term "Shares" means such shares issuable under the 1990 Plan and the
1999 Plan.

     As counsel to the Company, we have examined the Certificate of
Incorporation and By-Laws, as amended to date, and other corporate records of
the Company and have made such other investigations as we have deemed necessary
in connection with the opinion hereinafter set forth.  We have relied, to the
extent we deem such reliance proper, upon certain factual representations of
officers and directors of the Company given in certificates, in answer to our
written inquiries and otherwise, and, although we have not independently
verified all of the facts contained therein, nothing has come to our attention
that would cause us to believe that any of the statements contained therein are
untrue or misleading.

     In making the aforesaid examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of
all signatures and the conformity to original documents of all copies furnished
to us.  We have assumed that the corporate records of the Company furnished to
us constitute all of the existing corporate records of the Company and include
all corporate proceedings taken by it.

     Based solely upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that
the shares of Common Stock are duly authorized, issued and full paid and
non-assessable, and the issuance of such shares by the Company is not subject
to any preemptive or similar rights.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
aforesaid Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the
caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus.

                                                Very truly yours,

                                                Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith,
                                                Ravin, Davis & Himmel LLP
