MannKind to Manufacture 12 Unit Cartridge Strength of Afressa Following FDA Approval

MannKind Corporation will begin to manufacture a 12-unit cartridge strength of Afrezza (insulin human) Inhalation Powder to improve glycemic control in adult patients with diabetes. The 12-unit cartridge was approved by FDA 17 April 2015 and is expected to be launched by Sanofi in the second half of 2015.


The new dosage strength complements the existing 4-unit and 8-unit cartridges, and will provide patients with another option to receive their prescribed dose.



Sanofi and MannKind have entered into a worldwide exclusive licensing agreement to develop and commercialize Afrezza. Under the collaboration agreement, Sanofi is responsible for global commercial, regulatory and development activities.
