the average approval time is beyond 3 to 6 months unfortunately from the date of filing
Drug approval takes 8-12 months in Lebanon; up to 5 years in Egypt; 3 or more months in Algeria; 18 months in Saudi Arabia; 3-6 months in Bahrain; and 6-12 months in Oman.

If you go to this Bloomberg article and check out the graphs of monthly drug prices for Lantus, you'll see (in USD) from highest-to-lowest (a popup will appear when you hover your mouse over each bar):
- U.S. (Discounted)
- China
- Saudi Arabia
- Brazil
- Canada
- Japan
- United Kingdom
- Germany
- Australia
- France
- Morroco
- Norway
- Russia
- South Africa
- India
Saudis pay approximately 60% of what Americans pay for Lantus. With its centralized and government-run drug distribution (meaning that MannKind would not need to contract a huge sales organization) Saudi Arabia would not be a bad place to start selling Afrezza, although there may be other countries with shorter approval process timelines.

I do know that my Philip Morris International stock does very well because of the tobacco users in the Middle East. |

As much as I would love to get us approved in the Middle East, with the conflicts and issues that they have had with the US/Isreal, I'm not sure if they would trust having anything to do with Mann (because of his relationship with Isreal). Just being real here. |

I am worried that certain Arab countries will end up re-engineering the inhalers into a dreamboat bomb.
