I do not know of any connection to MNKD. However, the technology is interesting and there could be some synergies between Teva and Mnkd. Teva figured out how to get multiple doses of a dry powder into an inexpensive disposable device. It needs to be stored at room temperature but is seemingly not affected by being in a humid environment. It sounds like they have the equivalent of the MNKD manufacturing plant in a little plastic device. Amazing. I can't even get my sugar dispenser to work on a humid day without pounding it on the table. The device itself it not new but they just got is approved for some additional medicines. Wouldn't it be awesome if there was a Dreamboat that contained a whole bunch of 4 unit doses in 1 device? ir.tevapharm.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=73925&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2240540proair.com/respiclick/asthma-resources/videos.aspx |

Much as I would welcome that, I believe Phillip Frost of OPCO owns a small inhaled platform located in Israel. Dr. Frost is or was on the TEVA Board, so my bet would be that is the tie in. I would prefer to lose this bet.

Teva could take over the fast acting insulin market with afrezza.
Teva, other inhaler uses?

I use Respiclick as I very occasionally need an inhaler if the humidity is very low. My doctor prescribed it because its really easy to use as it is breath driven rather than sprayed. The down side is the $50 co-pay. The product is very slick though.

I like TEVA too. but I guess they don't like MannKind. I wrote this statement last January (2016) in a TEVA thread about how they could capture the Insulin market. Teva buy's MannKind and sells branded Afrezza and then sells generic Lantus for the injection side of the business. It's a knockout punch. Teva also knows the WORLD market and how to sell and market drugs. But I guess that the Board of Directors of both companies didn't take my thread seriously.
Jan 2016 posting:
Seems that big Pharma really has a monopoly on product and pricing. It would be great to underprice them and deliver a better product. We got screwed by Sanofi. They knew that the could kill Afrezza by over pricing the product in the market. MannKind needs to find a way to get back into the market with a good company and a distribution network and sell it as cheaply as the can. perhaps even pricing if the can close to generic pens. Put the pressure on the big boys. I hope they figure how to get engaged with a company that understands that market. Like Teva or Perigo. There are others in that space. Mannkind can't go it alone. They have to be part of something bigger to survive at this point. The Company needs to be sold. Sadly if it does not get sold than we all lose our investment. So hopefully smarter people are working hard to get a Teva interested. It would be great to have a named brand product Afrezza priced close to what a Generic pen sells for to the consumer. It won't happen unless they take the lumps and make a deal with somebody quickly.

I am all for Teva and a middle-eastern distributorship and them making Al's $200m sale to that little country. Call me crazy but I still think Al really believed it was real.
