TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2008--Biovail Corporation (NYSE: BVF) (TSX: BVF) today provided shareholders with additional analyst commentary about the Company and its New Strategic Focus:

 RBC Capital Markets "We have said for some time that many of the most successful specialty
 pharma companies are those that have moved away from a strictly reformulation strategy to one
 that also includes and eventually focuses on NCE/NCE-like drugs that carry improved exclusivity,
 reimbursement and revenue growth. While this strategy carries greater clinical risk, long term
 benefits can be obtained." (Douglas Miehm, RBC, 05.09.08) Deutsche Bank "We applaud this strategy
 (Biovail's New Strategic Focus) as it is likely the only way to create a sustainable long-term business."
 (David Steinberg, Deutsche Bank, 05.08.08) Paradigm Capital "We believe the changes at Biovail were
 needed as current technologies did not provide any additional product or cost advantages." "Biovail's
 strong cash flow provides ample room to sustain the quarterly dividend of $0.37/share."
(Claude Camire, Paradigm Capital, 05.09.08) *Permission to use quotations from analyst reports was neither sought nor obtained.
