This presentation includes forward-looking statements, which are based on our current beliefs and expectations.
Such statements include, without limitation, statements regarding: the anticipated U.S. market opportunity for
OFIRMEV; our financial estimates and projections; our expectations regarding growth in customer base, frequency
of product use, order rates, share of surgical patients, utilization per patient, expectations for future use, and their
ability to drive revenue growth for OFIRMEV; the sustainability of our core business; the sufficiency of our capital
resources to fund our operations; and our ability to execute our strategies for acquiring, in-licensing, developing and
commercializing proprietary products principally for use in the hospital setting.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
hereof. Our actual future results may differ materially from our current expectations due to the risks and
uncertainties inherent in our business. In addition, past results and trends may not be indicative or a guarantee of
future results or trends. These risks include, but are not limited to: our dependence on the successful
commercialization of OFIRMEV, which is our only product; our ability to achieve broad market acceptance and
generate revenues from sales of OFIRMEV; our ability to successfully enforce our marketing exclusivities and
intellectual property rights and to defend the patents covering OFIRMEV, including in our current and any future,
additional intellectual property litigation and U.S. patent office challenges; the potential introduction of generic
competition to OFIRMEV; our dependence on our contract manufacturers and our ability to ensure an adequate and
continued supply of OFIRMEV to meet market demand; potential product liability exposure; the risk that we may
not be able to raise sufficient capital when needed, or at all; and other risks detailed under “Risk Factors” and
elsewhere in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our other filings made with the Securities and
Exchange Commission from time to time.
All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement, which is made under the
safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and we undertake no
obligation to revise or update this presentation to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

Anticipated launch Q4 14/Q1 15
Extend use of OFIRMEV into non-operative acute pain management
Non-operative acute pain management estimated to represent 30-40% of IV
analgesic use
Non-operative applications currently account for only about 10% of OFIRMEV
use

Take care when prescribing, preparing, and administering OFIRMEV Injection to avoid dosing errors which could
result in accidental overdose and death.
OFIRMEV contains acetaminophen.  Acetaminophen has been associated with cases of acute liver failure, at
times resulting in liver transplant and death.  Most of the cases of liver injury are associated with the use of
acetaminophen at doses that exceed the recommended maximum daily limits, and often involve more than one
acetaminophen-containing product.
OFIRMEV is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment, severe active liver disease or with
known hypersensitivity to acetaminophen or to any of the excipients in the formulation.  Acetaminophen should
be used with caution in patients with the following conditions: hepatic impairment or active hepatic disease,
alcoholism, chronic malnutrition, severe hypovolemia, or severe renal impairment. Rarely, acetaminophen may
cause serious skin reactions such as acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), Stevens-Johnson
Syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), which can be fatal. 
Discontinue OFIRMEV immediately if symptoms associated with allergy or hypersensitivity occur, or at the first
appearance of skin rash. Do not use in patients with acetaminophen allergy.
The most common adverse reactions in patients treated with OFIRMEV were nausea, vomiting, headache, and
insomnia in adult patients and nausea, vomiting, constipation, pruritus, agitation, and atelectasis in pediatric
patients.
The antipyretic effects of OFIRMEV may mask fever in patients treated with postsurgical pain.
Do not exceed the recommended maximum daily dose of OFIRMEV.
OFIRMEV should be administered only as a 15-minute infusion.
To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Cadence Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-877-647-2239 or 
FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
