Hi Alex, do you have any plans on selling or attempting to get FDA approval for drugs that are used and known to be safe in other countries, such as the UK?

Our daughter has a life threatening condition that I’ve posted a lot about on, a complication from spina bifida where she holds her breath when she gets upset. Many kids die from the condition.

There’s a medication, piracetam, that a child with the same complication uses in the UK. It’s safe and has greatly helped the little girl in the UK. When we mentioned it to doctors we were immediately shut down and told it was impossible to get in the US.

Any chance of the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company seeking FDA approval for piracetam and drugs like it?
