Oct 7, 2014

NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Harwood Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of AcelRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("AcelRx" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ACRX), concerning whether the board has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders.

Harwood Feffer LLP.

One of AcelRx's products is called Zalviso.  Zalviso is a pain management system consisting of tablets delivered by a needle-free, handheld, patient-administered technique.  On July 25, 2014, after the market closed, AcelRx announced that it had received a Complete Response Letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regarding its New Drug Application for Zalviso. The FDA requested additional information on the Zalviso System to ensure proper use of the device, including changes to the Instructions for Use for the device and additional data to support the shelf life of the product.

Our investigation concerns whether the Company board of directors has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders, grossly mismanaged the Company, and/or committed abuses of control in connection with the foregoing.
