This Amendment No. 8 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2010 by Discus Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), and Hospira, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the corporate parent of the Purchaser (the “Parent”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Javelin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, at a purchase price of $2.20 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated April 21, 2010 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which were filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein will have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.

Items 8 and 11.    Interest in Securities of the Subject Company; Additional Information.

Item 8 of the Schedule TO, which incorporates by reference the information set forth in the section of the Offer to Purchase entitled “Certain Information Concerning the Parent and the Purchaser,” “Purpose of the Offer; Plans for the Company” and “The Transaction Agreements,” and Item 11(b) of the Schedule TO, which incorporates by reference the information set forth in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented to include the following information:

On July 1, 2010, the Parent and the Company each issued a press release announcing the successful completion of the Offer.

As previously announced, the Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on June 30, 2010 (the end of the day on June 30, 2010) and was not extended.  The Depositary has advised the Parent that as of the expiration of the Offer, 51,346,299 Shares representing approximately 79.16% of the outstanding Shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn and have been accepted by the Parent for payment. The Parent will purchase and pay for all such Shares promptly.

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Parent exercised its “top-up” option on July 1, 2010 to increase its ownership percentage of the Shares through the purchase from the Company of newly issued Shares at the same $2.20 per Share paid in the Offer in order to allow the Parent to effect a short-term merger under Delaware law without the need for a Company stockholder vote or meeting.

The Parent intends to promptly complete the Merger on or about July 2, 2010.  As a result of the Merger, any remaining Shares will be converted into the right to receive the offer price of $2.20 per Share in cash paid in the Offer, without interest and less any required withholding taxes (other than Shares for which appraisal right are validly exercised under Delaware law and any Shares owned by the Parent or any of its subsidiaries). Upon completion of the Merger, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent, its Shares will cease to be traded on the NYSE Amex, and the Company will no longer be required to file certain information and periodic reports with the SEC.

A copy of the press releases issued by the Parent and the Company on July 1, 2010 are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(5)(K) and (a)(5)(L) respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
