<< 10nis If TEVA were close, why would the FDA wait to approve both at the same time? Does this save them paper work?

Maybe they are doing MNTA a favor by approving them first and allowing them to be able to raise money in the market. Maybe that logic applies. If they approved both at the same time, MNTA's stock wouldn't have gone up much.

I am not sure why the FDA would care if they approved one on one month and another the next month VS both at the same time. What is your logic about that? >>


FDA doing MNTA a favor? Are you a conspiracy theorist? Why would they do MNTA a favor over TEVA or any other company?

My logic equals the common sense approach which would be not to give approval one day for MNTA and give TEVA approval a few days later. Both companies and the FDA have spent many years on this and if both companies were essentially approval worthy the FDA would wait and do it at the same time. Otherwise, its likely there could be a significant period of time (months to years, if ever) between approvals.
