                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated September 26, 2003 by and between NexMed, Inc.,
a Nevada corporation (the "Company") and Kenneth F. Anderson (the "Executive").

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ Executive and to enter
into an agreement (the "Agreement") embodying the terms of such employment;

     WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential to its best interests and the
best interests of its stockholders to foster the continued employment of
Executive by the Company during the term of this Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, Executive is willing to accept and continue his employment on the
terms hereinafter set forth in this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as
follows:

1.   Term of Employment. Subject to earlier termination in accordance with the
     provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement, Executive shall be employed by
     the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for a period commencing
     on January 1, 2003 (the "Effective Date") and ending on December 31, 2005
     (the "Expiration Date"); provided, however, that the term of employment
     under this Agreement (the "Employment Term") shall be automatically
     extended for one additional year unless and until either party gives notice
     to the other, at least 60 days before the Expiration Date, that the
     Employment Term should not be automatically extended.

2.   Position.

     (a)  During the Employment Term, Executive shall be employed as a Vice
          President of the Company, and shall have such duties, authority, and
          responsibility as are commensurate with his position, subject to the
          direction of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO").
          Executive shall initially have the title of Vice President, Commercial
          Development of the Company.

     (b)  During the Employment Term, Executive shall devote all of his business
          time and attention to the performance of his duties hereunder
          faithfully and to the best of his abilities and shall not undertake
          employment with, or participate in, the conduct of the business
          affairs of any other person, corporation, or entity; provided, that,
          nothing shall preclude Executive from (i) with the prior written
          approval of the CEO, serving in due course as a director, trustee or
          member of a committee of any organization or (ii) participating in the
          affairs of any recognized charitable organizations, or in any
          community affairs, of Executive's choice.

     (c)  Executive's duties hereunder shall be performed for the Company
          worldwide, with particular emphasis in the Company's headquarters in
          Robbinsville, New Jersey.

3.   Compensation.

     (a)  Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay
          Executive a base salary, subject to increase at the discretion of the
          Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), at the annual rate of
          $162,000 (the "Base Salary"), payable in regular installments in
          accordance with the Company's usual payroll dates practices.

     (b)  Bonus. With respect to each calendar year during the Employment Term,
          Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus award (the
          "Bonus"). The amount of the Bonus shall be determined by the Board, or
          the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation
          Committee"), in its sole discretion, based upon the achievement by the
          Company of objective financial targets established and determined by
          the Board or the Compensation Committee in consultation with Executive
          no later than the end of the first month of such calendar year. The
          Bonus in respect of each calendar year in the Employment Term shall be
          paid as promptly as practicable following the delivery of the
          Company's audited financial statements for such year or, if later, by
          April 30 of the calendar year following such year.

     (c)  Stock Option Grants.

          (i)   On December 16, 2002, the Compensation Committee approved a
                grant to Executive of an option to purchase an aggregate of
                45,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Option") with
                an exercise price of seventy cents ($.70) per share, and with
                terms and conditions substantially identical to those contained
                in Executive's previous option grant. The Option shall vest in
                three equal installments on December 16, 2003, December 16,
                2004, and December 16, 2005, respectively, assuming continuous
                and uninterrupted employment until such dates.

          (ii)  The Option shall be subject to The NexMed, Inc. Stock Option and
                Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Option Plan") and
                the applicable stock option agreement.

          (iii) In addition to the foregoing, the CEO may recommend to the
                Compensation Committee that additional stock options be granted
                to Executive in accordance with the terms and subject to the
                conditions of the Option Plan.

          (iv)  All of Executive's outstanding but unvested stock options shall
                vest immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as
                defined in Appendix A hereto).

4.   Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible
     for inclusion, to the extent permitted by law, as a full-time employee of
     the Company or any of its subsidiaries, in any and all of the following
     plans, programs, and policies in effect at the time: (i) pension, profit
     sharing, savings, and other retirement plans and programs,


                                       2

     (ii) life and health (medical, dental, hospitalization, short-term and
     long-term disability) insurance plans and programs, (iii) stock option and
     stock purchase plans and programs, (iv) accidental death and dismemberment
     protection plans and programs, (v) travel accident insurance plans and
     programs, (vi) vacation policy, and (vii) other plans and programs
     sponsored by the Company or any subsidiary for employees or executives
     generally, including any and all plans and programs that supplement any or
     all of the foregoing types of plans or programs.

5.   Business Expenses and Perquisites. The Company shall reimburse to
     Executive, or pay directly, all reasonable expenses incurred by Executive
     in connection with the business of the Company, and its subsidiaries and
     affiliates, including but not limited to business-class travel, reasonable
     accommodations, and entertainment, subject to documentation in accordance
     with the Company's policy.

6.   Termination.

     (a)  By the Company for Cause. The Company may, for Cause, terminate
          Executive's employment hereunder at any time by written notice to
          Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Cause" shall mean
          Executive's (i) engaging in fraud against the Company or
          misappropriation of funds of the Company, (ii) disregard or failure to
          follow specific and reasonable directives of the Board, (iii) willful
          failure to perform his duties as Vice President, Commercial
          Development of the Company, (iv) willful misconduct resulting in
          material injury to the Company, (v) violation of the terms of the
          Confidential Information and Intellectual Property Agreement between
          Executive and NexMed (U.S.A.), Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
          Company, dated October 24, 2000 (the "Intellectual Property
          Agreement") attached hereto as Exhibit "A", (vi) conviction of, or
          Executive's plea of guilty or no contest to, a felony or any crime
          involving as a material element fraud or dishonesty, or (vii) material
          breach (not covered by clauses (i) through (vi)) of any of the other
          provisions of this Agreement; provided, that, in the case of
          subclauses (ii), (iii) or (vii), Cause shall not exist if the act or
          omission deemed to constitute Cause is cured (if curable) by Executive
          within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Executive by
          the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, no act, or failure to act,
          on Executive's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or
          omitted to be done, by Executive other than in good faith, and without
          reasonable belief that his action or omission was in furtherance of
          the interests of the Company.

               In the event of the termination of Executive's employment under
          this Section 6(a) for Cause, the Employment Term shall end on the day
          of such termination and the Company shall pay to Executive, no later
          than ten (10) days after the last day of Executive's employment, in
          one lump sum, the sum of (i) any accrued but unpaid Base Salary,
          including salary in respect of any accrued and accumulated vacation,
          due to Executive at the date of such termination, (ii) any earned and
          unpaid Bonus due to Executive at the date of such termination for the
          calendar year ending immediately prior to the date of such
          termination, and (iii) any amounts owing, but not yet paid, pursuant
          to Section 5 hereof.


                                       3
<PAGE>

               Except as specifically set forth in Section 8 hereof, the Company
          shall have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement.

     (b)  Disability or Death. If Executive should suffer a Permanent
          Disability, the Company may terminate Executive's employment hereunder
          upon ten (10) or more days' prior written notice to Executive. For
          purposes of this Agreement, a "Permanent Disability" shall be deemed
          to have occurred only when Executive has qualified for benefits
          (including satisfaction of any applicable waiting period) under the
          Company's or a subsidiary's long-term disability insurance arrangement
          (the "LTD Policy"). In the event of the termination of Executive's
          employment hereunder by reason of Permanent Disability or death, the
          Employment Term shall end on the day of such termination and the
          Company shall pay, no later than ten days after the last day of
          Executive's employment, to Executive or Executive's legal
          representative (in the event of Permanent Disability), or any
          beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by Executive to the Company in
          writing, or to Executive's estate if no such beneficiary has been so
          designated (in the event of Executive's death), a single lump sum
          payment of (i) any accrued but unpaid Base Salary, including salary in
          respect of any accrued and accumulated vacation, due to Executive at
          the date of such termination, (ii) any earned but unpaid Bonus due to
          Executive at the date of such termination for the calendar year ending
          immediately prior to the date of each termination, and (iii) any
          amounts owing, but not yet paid, pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

               Except as specifically set forth in Section 8 hereof, the Company
          shall have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement.

     (c)  By the Company without Cause. The Company may, without Cause,
          terminate Executive's employment hereunder at any time upon ten (10)
          or more days' written notice to Executive. In the event Executive's
          employment is terminated pursuant to this Section 6(c), the Employment
          Term shall end on the day of such termination and the Company shall
          pay to Executive, on the last day of Executive's employment, in one
          lump sum, the sum of (i) any accrued but unpaid Base Salary, including
          salary in respect of any accrued and accumulated vacation, due to
          Executive at the date of such termination, (ii) any earned but unpaid
          Bonus due to Executive at the date of such termination for the
          calendar year ending immediately prior to the date of such
          termination, (iii) any amounts owing, but not yet paid, pursuant to
          Section 5 hereof, and (iv) an amount equal to the Executive's annual
          Base Salary at the time of such termination for six months, plus an
          additional week of Base Salary for every fully completed year of
          service. Executive shall also be eligible to receive a pro rata Bonus
          in respect of the calendar year in which such termination occurs,
          equal to the Bonus in respect of such calendar year multiplied by a
          fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such year
          preceding and including the date of termination, and the denominator
          of which is 365. Such pro-rata Bonus shall be paid at the same time as
          the Bonus would have been paid had Executive continued being employed
          by the Company through the date of payment.


                                       4
<PAGE>

               Except as specifically set forth in Section 8 hereof, the Company
          shall have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement.

     (d)  By Executive for Good Reason. If any of the events described below
          occurs during the Employment Term, Executive may terminate Executive's
          employment hereunder for Good Reason by written notice to the Company
          identifying the event or omission constituting Good Reason not more
          than six (6) months following the occurrence of such event and, in the
          case of subclauses (ii) and (iii)below, a failure by the Company to
          cure such act or omission within thirty (30) days after receipt of
          such written notice. In such event, the Employment Term and
          Executive's employment hereunder will be terminated effective as of
          the later of thirty-one (31) days after the Company's receipt of
          Executive's notice of termination or thirty-one (31) days after the
          event, and Executive's termination for Good Reason pursuant to this
          Section 6(d) shall be treated for all purposes as a termination
          without Cause pursuant to Section 6(c) and the provisions of Section
          6(c) shall apply to such termination. In addition, all of Executive's
          outstanding but unvested stock options shall vest immediately. The
          occurrence of any of the following events without Executive's consent
          shall permit Executive to terminate Executive's employment for "Good
          Reason" pursuant to this Section 6(d):

          (i)   A "Change in Control" (as defined in Appendix A hereto) occurs;

          (ii)  The failure by the Company to observe or comply in any material
                respect with any of the material provisions of this Agreement;
                and

          (iii) A material diminution in Executive's duties.

               Except as specifically set forth in Section 8 hereof, the Company
          shall have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement.

     (e)  By Executive without Good Reason. Executive may terminate the
          Employment Term and Executive's employment hereunder at any time
          without Good Reason upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to
          the Company. In the event Executive's employment is terminated
          pursuant to this Section 6(e), the Company shall pay to Executive, no
          later than ten (10) days after the last day of Executive's employment,
          in one lump sum, the sum of (i) any accrued but unpaid Base Salary,
          including salary in respect of any accrued and accumulated vacation,
          due to Executive at the date of such termination, (ii) any earned and
          unpaid Bonus due to Executive at the date of such termination for the
          calendar year ending immediately prior to the date of such
          termination, and (iii) any amounts owing, but not yet paid, pursuant
          to Section 5 hereof.

               Except as specifically set forth in Section 8 hereof, the Company
          shall have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement.

     (f)  Release. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
          contrary, Executive acknowledges and agrees that any and all payments
          and benefits to which Executive is entitled under this Section 6 are
          conditioned upon and subject


                                       5
<PAGE>

          to Executive's execution of a general waiver and release, in such
          reasonable and customary form as shall be prepared by the Company, of
          all claims Executive may have against the Company, except as to
          matters covered by provisions of this Agreement which specifically
          survive the termination of this Agreement.

7.   No Mitigation; Employee Benefit Plans. Executive shall not be required to
     mitigate amounts payable to him under this Agreement by seeking other
     employment or otherwise, and there shall be no offset against amounts
     payable to Executive under this Agreement on account of Executive's
     subsequent employment. Amounts payable to Executive under this Agreement
     shall not be offset by any claims that the Company may have against
     Executive, and such amounts payable to Executive under this Agreement shall
     not be affected by any other circumstances, including, without limitation,
     any counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right that the Company may
     have against Executive or others. Except as otherwise provided in this
     Agreement, the termination of Executive's employment hereunder shall have
     no effect on the rights and obligations of the Company and Executive under
     the Company's benefit plans; provided, however, that, payments made to
     Executive as a result of the termination of Executive's employment
     hereunder shall not be considered as includible compensation with respect
     to any employee benefit plans maintained by the Company, except to the
     extent otherwise required by law.

8.   Indemnification. In the event that Executive is made a party or threatened
     to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
     criminal, administrative, or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason of
     Executive's employment with, or serving as an officer of, the Company, the
     Company shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, and defend Executive
     to the fullest extent authorized by the laws of the state in which the
     Company is incorporated, as the same exist and may hereafter be amended,
     against any and all claims, demands, suits, judgments, assessments, and
     settlements (collectively the "Claims"), including all expenses incurred or
     suffered by Executive in connection therewith (excluding, however, any
     legal fees incurred by Executive for Executive's own counsel, except as
     otherwise provided in this Section 8), and such indemnification shall
     continue as to Executive even after Executive is no longer employed by the
     Company hereunder, and shall inure to the benefit of Executive's heirs,
     executors, and administrators; provided, however, that, Executive promptly
     gives written notice to the Company of any such Claims (although
     Executive's failure to promptly give notice shall not affect the Company's
     obligations under this Section 8 except to the extent that such failure
     prejudices the Company or its ability to defend such Claims). The Company
     shall have the right to undertake, with counsel or other representatives of
     its own choosing, the defense or settlement of any Claims. In the event
     that the Company shall fail to notify Executive, within ten days of its
     receipt of Executive's written notice, that the Company has elected to
     undertake such defense or settlement, or if at any time the Company shall
     otherwise fail to diligently defend or pursue settlement of such Claims,
     then Executive shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise,
     or settlement of such Claims, in which event the Company shall hold
     Executive harmless from any legal fees incurred by Executive for
     Executive's counsel. Neither Executive nor the Company shall settle any
     Claims without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall
     not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event that the Company
     submits to Executive a


                                       6
<PAGE>

     bona fide settlement offer from the claimant of Claims (which settlement
     offer shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
     claimant or the plaintiff to Executive a release from all liability in
     respect of such Claims), and Executive refuses to consent to such
     settlement, then thereafter the Company's liability to Executive for
     indemnification hereunder with respect to such Claims shall not exceed the
     settlement amount included in such bona fide settlement offer, and
     Executive shall either assume the defense of such Claims or pay the
     Company's attorneys' fees and other out-of-pocket costs incurred thereafter
     in continuing the defense of such Claims. Regardless of which party is
     conducting the defense of any such Claims, the other party, with counsel or
     other representatives of its own choosing and at its sole cost and expense,
     shall have the right to consult with the party conducting the defense of
     such Claims and its counsel or other representatives concerning such Claims
     and Executive and the respective counsel or other representatives shall
     cooperate with respect to such Claims. The party conducting the defense of
     any such Claims and its counsel shall in any case keep the other party and
     its counsel (if any) fully informed as to the status of such Claims and any
     matters relating thereto. Executive and the Company shall provide to the
     other such records, books, documents, and other materials as shall
     reasonably be necessary for each to conduct or evaluate the defense of any
     Claims, and will generally cooperate with respect to any matters relating
     thereto. This Section 8 shall remain in effect after this Agreement is
     terminated, regardless of the reasons for such termination. The
     indemnification provided to Executive pursuant to this Section 8 shall not
     supersede or reduce any indemnification provided to Executive under any
     separate agreement, or the By-Laws of the Company; in this regard, it is
     intended that this Agreement shall expand and extend Executive's rights to
     receive indemnification.

9.   Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct and withhold from
     all payments to Executive hereunder all payroll taxes, income tax
     withholding and other federal, state and local taxes and charges which
     currently are or which hereafter may be required by law to be so deducted
     and withheld.

10.  Non-assignability. Executive's rights and benefits hereunder are personal
     to Executive, and shall not be alienated, voluntarily or involuntarily
     assigned, or transferred.

11.  Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto,
     and their respective assigns, successors, executors, administrators, and
     heirs. In the event the Company becomes a party to any merger,
     consolidation, or reorganization, this Agreement shall remain in full force
     and effect as an obligation of the Company or its successor(s) in interest.
     None of the payments provided for by this Agreement shall be subject to
     seizure for payment of any debts or judgments against Executive or
     Executive's beneficiary or beneficiaries, nor shall Executive or any such
     beneficiary or beneficiaries have any right to transfer or encumber any
     right or benefit hereunder.

12.  Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement and the Intellectual
     Property Agreement contain the entire agreement relating to Executive's
     employment by the Company. These Agreements may not be changed orally, and
     may be changed only by an agreement in writing signed by the parties
     hereto.

13.  Notices. All notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing, sent
     by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid;
     by facsimile transmission, with proof of the time and date of receipt
     retained by the transmitter; or by hand-delivery properly receipted. The
     actual date of receipt as shown by the return receipt therefore, the
     facsimile transmission sheet, or the hand-delivery receipt, as the case may
     be, shall determine the date on which (and, in the case of a facsimile, the
     time at which) notice was given. All payments required hereunder by the
     Company to Executive shall be sent postage prepaid, or, at Executive's
     election, shall be transferred to Executive electronically to such bank
     account as Executive may designate in writing to the Company, including
     designation of the applicable electronic address. The foregoing items

                                   Appendix A
                                Change in Control

For the purpose of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have
taken place if:

A. Individuals who, on the date hereof, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent
Directors") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board,
provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof,
whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific
vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person
is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such
nomination) shall be an Incumbent Director; provided, however, that, no
individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a
result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or
as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to
be an Incumbent Director;

B. Any "Person" (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and
14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a "beneficial owner" (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Company representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's
then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the
"Voting Securities"); provided, however, that, the event described in this
paragraph B shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of
the following acquisitions: (i) by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company
in which the Company owns more than 25% of the combined voting power of such
entity (a "Subsidiary"), (ii) by any employee benefit plan (or related trust)
sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) by any
underwriter temporarily holding the Company's Voting Securities pursuant to a
public offering of such Voting Securities, (iv) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying
Transaction (as defined in paragraph C immediately below), (v) pursuant to any
acquisition by Executive or by any Person which is an "affiliate" (within the
meaning of 17 C.F.R. ss. 230.405) of Executive (an "Excluded Person");

C. The consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or
similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company's stockholders, whether
for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a
"Business Combination"), unless immediately following such Business Combination:
(i) more than 25% of the total voting power of (A) the corporation resulting
from such Business Combination (the "Surviving Corporation"), or (B) if
applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has
beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect
directors of the Surviving Company (the "Parent Corporation"), is represented by
the Company's Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to such
Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which the
Company's Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business
Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in
substantially the same proportion as the voting power of the Company's Voting
Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business
Combination, (ii) no Person (other than (A) any employee benefit plan (or
related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the
Parent Corporation or (B) an


                                       10
<PAGE>

Excluded Person is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of
25% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities
eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent
Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) and (iii) at least a majority of the
members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no
Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) following the consummation of the
Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board's
approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business
Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies all of the criteria
specified in (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall be deemed to be a "Non-Qualifying
Transaction");

D. A sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, other than to an
Excluded Person;

E. The stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or
dissolution of the Company; or

F. Such other events as the Board may designate.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control of the Company shall not
be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of
more than 25% of the Company's Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition
of the Company's Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of
the Company's Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that, if after such
acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of
additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of
outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a
Change in Control of the Company shall then occur.
