Ownership of Securities", Form 5 "Annual Statement of Beneficial Ownership of
Securities", Form 144 "Notice of Proposed Sale of Securities", Schedule 13D
pursuant to Rule 13d-101 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any other
similar form to report securities ownership that may, in the opinion of any of
them be necessary, with respect to any transaction in securities of Cumberland
Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Nothing herein shall relieve me of the responsibility for the accuracy of the
information and representations contained in any Form 3, Form 4, Form 5, Form
144, Schedule 13D, or other similar form completed, executed and filed pursuant
to this power of attorney.

This power of attorney shall supersede all similar prior powers of attorney and
will remain effective as to the agents and attorneys-in-fact referred to above

Schedule 13D or other similar form completed, executed and filed pursuant to
this power of attorney.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
