OPTION CARE ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT CHANGES

BANNOCKBURN, Ill., June 2 /PRNewswire/ Option Care, Inc., providing specialty
pharmaceutical products and services for intravenous delivery, today
announced several management changes. Chief Operating Officer Raj Rai was
elected president and COO, and Chairman John Kapoor became chief executive
officer, replacing the former President and CEO Michael Rusnak, who left the
company to pursue other business opportunities. In addition, Option Care
promoted Michael Siri to senior vice president and chief financial officer
from his prior position as vice president and CFO.

"On behalf of the board of directors, I want to thank Mike Rusnak for
leading the turnaround at Option Care and developing a very solid operation.
We wish him the best of luck in his next endeavor," said Kapoor. "We are
confident that Raj Rai will be able to take the company to the next level by
implementing the strategies for double-digit growth he helped to develop:
expanding OptionMed, our specialty pharmaceutical distribution division,
along with identifying key acquisitions. We also are pleased to recognize
Mike Siri's excellent work as our CFO through his promotion to senior vice
president."

Rai, 33, has been Option Care's chief operating officer since August 1999,

subsidiary. For nearly a year prior to this, he was executive vice president
of Option Care Enterprises, where he was responsible for the double-digit
growth in revenue and operating profit for the company's owned locations. Rai
has served in a number of positions with the company since August 1992, from
senior vice president to general manager to a variety of duties in the
Finance Department. He has a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Regional
Engineering College in Warangal, India, and received his MBA in finance from
Wayne State University. Rai resides in Gurnee, Illinois.

Siri, 45, has been vice president and CFO since October 1998. From July 1998
to October 1998, he served as Option Care's vice president-finance. Before
this, Siri was executive director finance and treasurer for Culligan Water
Technologies. He holds a B.S. in accounting from Indiana University and an
MBA in finance from the University of Chicago. Siri, his wife Diane and their
two children live in Hawthorn Woods, Illinois.
