PROSPECTUS

Up to 6,282,052 Shares of
Common Stock

     From time to time, we may sell up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock in one or more offerings, and certain selling stockholders may offer and sell up to 1,282,052 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of certain option rights granted to such selling stockholders. This means:

§		we will provide this prospectus and a prospectus supplement each time we sell the common stock;
§		the prospectus supplement will inform you about the specific terms of that offering and may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus; and
§		you should read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, as well as any documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, carefully before you invest in our common stock.

     Our common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market under the trading symbol “RPRX.” On November 5, 2008, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market was $8.86 per share.

     THIS PROSPECTUS MAY NOT BE USED TO OFFER OR SELL ANY SECURITIES UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY A PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT.

     The common stock may be sold directly by us to purchasers, to or through underwriters or dealers designated from time to time, or through agents designated from time to time. For additional information on the methods of sale, you should refer to “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus and to the accompanying prospectus supplement. If any underwriters are involved in a sale of the common stock, their names and any applicable commissions or discounts will be set forth in a prospectus supplement. The net proceeds we expect to receive from the sale will also be set forth in a prospectus supplement.

     The selling shareholders may offer and sell any of the shares of common stock from time to time at fixed prices, at market prices or at negotiated prices, and may engage a broker, dealer or underwriter to sell the shares. For additional information on the possible methods of sale that may be used by the selling shareholders, you should refer to the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 8 of this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders. We will pay all expenses incurred in effecting the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part.

     NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

     INVESTING IN OUR SECURITIES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE “RISK FACTORS” CONTAINED IN OUR ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED

RISK FACTORS

     Investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risk factors in any prospectus supplement and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, updates in Part II, Item 1A of our Form 10-Q filings, and in our future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, before purchasing any of our securities. Each of the risk factors could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

     Some of the statements contained (i) in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement or (ii) incorporated by reference into this prospectus are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and are subject to the safe harbor created by the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Examples of these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

§		our anticipated future capital requirements and the terms of any capital financing agreements;
§		timing and amount of future contractual payments, product revenue and operating expenses;
§		progress and results of clinical trials;
§		anticipated regulatory filings, requirements and future clinical trials;
§		protection of our intellectual property; and
§		market acceptance of our products and the estimated potential size of these markets.

     While these forward-looking statements made by us are based on our current intent, beliefs and judgments, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary from the projections in the forward-looking statements. You should consider the risks below carefully in addition to other information contained in this report before engaging in any transaction involving shares of our common stock. If any of these risks occur, they could seriously harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

     The discussion and analysis set forth in this document contains discussions of regulatory status and other forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statement as a result of the following factors, among others:

§		future capital requirements and additional fundings through equity or debt financings;
§		uncertainty of governmental regulatory requirements and lengthy approval process;
§		inability to fulfill our obligations under our license with the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, for Proellex may result in forfeiture of our rights to Proellex;
§		results of the current Phase 2b trial for Androxal and the ongoing Phase 2 and 3 trials for Proellex;
§		history of operating losses and uncertainty of future financial results;
§		dependence on third parties for clinical development and manufacturing;
§		dependence on a limited number of key employees;
§		competition and risk of competitive new products;
§		ability to obtain and defend patents, protect trade secrets and avoid infringing patents held by third parties;
§		limitations on third-party reimbursement for medical and pharmaceutical products;

§		acceptance of our products by the medical community;
§		potential for product liability issues and related litigation;
§		potential for claims arising from the use of hazardous materials in our business;
§		continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market;
§		volatility in the value of our common stock;
§		volatility in the financial markets generally; and
§		other factors set forth under “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2008, updates in Part II, Item 1A of our Form 10-Q filings, and in our future filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and any risk factors set forth in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

     In addition, in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, the words “believe,” “should,” “predict,” “future,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect,” “potential,” “continue,” or “opportunity,” or other words and terms of similar meaning, as they relate to us, our business, future financial or operating performance or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Past financial or operating performance is not necessarily a reliable indicator of future performance and you should not use our historical performance to anticipate results or future period trends.

USE OF PROCEEDS

     Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities offered by us under this prospectus will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include:

§		funding clinical trials and regulatory submissions for our two lead product candidates, Proellex and Androxal, currently in human clinical trials;
§		financing potential acquisitions of complementary businesses, assets, technologies and products that we may consider from time to time; and
§		general working capital.

     Although we currently have no plans to acquire any complementary businesses, our management has broad discretion as to the allocation of the net proceeds received in this offering and may use these proceeds for that purpose in the future. Pending these uses, we may temporarily use the net proceeds to make short-term investments.

     We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

     On October 2, 2008 we sold 2,400,000 shares of our common stock in a direct registered offering to certain investors. We provided rights to certain of such investors, the selling stockholders under this prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,282,052 shares of our common stock at a purchase price equal to the fair market value at the time of exercise of such purchase right or $7.80 per share, whichever is greater. In addition to the 5,000,000 shares to be available for future offerings, this prospectus relates to the resale from time to time of up to a total of 1,282,052 shares of common stock by the selling stockholders.

     Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreements relating to such purchase option rights, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3, of which this prospectus constitutes a part, in order to permit the selling stockholders, including their transferees who are affiliates, pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest, to resell to the public any or all of the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of such purchase option rights, or any interests therein. When we refer to the “selling stockholders” in this prospectus, we mean the entities listed in the table below, as well as their transferees, pledgees or donees or its respective successors.

     The following table, to our knowledge, sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by the selling stockholders as of October 31, 2008 and the number of shares being offered hereby by the selling stockholders. The information is based in part on information provided by or on behalf of the selling stockholders. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares, as well as any shares as to which the selling stockholders have the right to acquire beneficial ownership within sixty (60) days after October 31, 2008 through the exercise or conversion of any stock options, warrants, convertible debt or otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated below, the selling stockholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of common stock. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling stockholders.

     The actual number of shares of common stock that may be sold by the selling stockholders will be determined by the selling stockholders. Because the selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of the shares of common stock which they hold, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders after completion of the sales. The information set forth in the following table regarding the beneficial ownership after resale of shares is based on the assumption that the selling stockholders will sell all of their shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.

		Shares Beneficially												Shares Beneficially
		Owned Before Offering(1)								Shares Offered				Owned After Offering(1)
Name of Selling Stockholder		Number				Percent				Hereby(2)				Number				Percent
Efficacy Capital, Ltd.(3)			4,292,136				28.28	%			961,539				4,292,136				26.60	%

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     We or the selling stockholders may sell the common stock through underwriters or dealers, through agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. One or more prospectus supplements will describe the terms of the offering of the common stock, including:

§		the name or names of any agents or underwriters;
§		the purchase price of the common stock and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;
§		any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional shares of common stock from us;
§		any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation;
§		any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
§		any securities exchange or market on which the common stock may be listed.

     Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the common stock offered by the prospectus supplement.

     If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the common stock for their own account and may resell the common stock from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the common stock will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the common stock to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the common stock offered by the prospectus supplement if they are to purchase any of such offered shares. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement naming the underwriter, the nature of any such relationship.

     We or the selling stockholders may sell the common stock directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of the common stock and we will describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement.

     We or the selling stockholders may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase the common stock from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.

     We may provide agents and underwriters with indemnification against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to such liabilities. Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

     Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying shares of common stock so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Short covering transactions involve exercise by underwriters of an over-allotment option or purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the shares of common stock originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a short covering transaction. Those activities may cause the price of the common stock to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.

     Our common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market. One or more underwriters may make a market in our common stock, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to liquidity of the trading market for our common stock.

     Any underwriters who are qualified market makers on the Nasdaq Global Market may engage in passive market making transactions in the securities on the Nasdaq Global Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded.

LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the securities being offered hereby will be passed upon by Winstead PC, The Woodlands, Texas. Jeffrey R. Harder, a member of the law firm Winstead PC, and a director of Repros, beneficially owned as of October 27, 2008, an aggregate of 13,424 shares of our common stock. Mr. Harder also holds options to purchase 55,000 shares of our common stock.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

     The following table sets forth the estimated costs and expenses, other than the underwriting discounts and commissions, payable by the registrant in connection with the offering of the securities being registered. All the amounts shown are estimates, except for the registration fee.

Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee		$	5,000
NASD registration fee			45,000
Accounting fees and expenses			200,000

Total:		$	500,000

Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or Delaware law, inter alia, empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Similar indemnity is authorized for such persons against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any such threatened, pending or completed action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that (unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise provides) such person shall not have been adjudged liable to the corporation. Any such indemnification may be made only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the stockholders or disinterested directors or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that indemnification is proper because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct.

     Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145. We maintain policies insuring our officers and directors against certain liabilities for actions taken in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

     Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws require us to indemnify our directors to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law or any other applicable law in effect, but if such statute or law is amended, we may change the standard of indemnification only to the extent that such amended statute or law permits us to provide broader indemnification rights to our directors. We must indemnify such officers and employees in the same manner and to the same extent that we are required to indemnify our directors under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the personal liability of a director to us or our stockholders to damages for breach of the director’s fiduciary duty.

     The underwriting agreement that we might enter into (Exhibit 1.1) will provide for indemnification by any underwriters of Repros, our directors, our officers who sign the registration statement and our controlling persons for some liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 17. Undertakings

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

     (i) to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

     (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

     (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of this offering.

     (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of a registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

     (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

     (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

     (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

     (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

     (5) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (6) That: (i) for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of

prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and (ii) for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in The Woodlands, Montgomery County, State of Texas, on November 10, 2008.
