The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 3611

Because he realized that the other party might have truly encountered a difficult matter of great magnitude, Liam was not angry at all about the other party's tardiness.

On the contrary, he nodded in understanding and said politely, "It's okay, Mr. Smith. I didn't have anything else to do, so there’s no rush."

"Thank you!" Jameson thanked him and smiled politely before sitting down in front of Liam.

After the both of them had casually ordered some dishes, Jameson asked Liam, "Mr. Weaver, you've come so far from Oskia. Is there something important?"

Liam smiled and said, "Mr. Smith, you should have heard of The Apothecary Pharmaceutical, right?”

"I've heard of it." Smith nodded and said, “You have a drug under review by our FDA, right?"

"Yes." Liam said, "The review cycle has passed for quite a long time, but it has not entered the next stage yet. So, I would like to inquire if there is any way to speed up the process?"

Smith said with some difficulty, "The FDA is very strict on the review of imported drugs now. The process is really long, and I cannot tell you clearly whether the drug will be able to meet our standards or

whether it can be approved for marketing even after going through all our processes."

Liam explained, “Mr. Smith, the ingredients for this Oskian medicine are very safe. There are no toxic side effects, and the efficacy is very good. It could also be said that the effect is immediate. Could this kind of medicine also be refused to be listed by the FDA?!"

Smith nodded and said, "We have been receiving many drug applications from Eastern countries in recent years, and the vast majority of this Oskian medicine that you've mentioned is not only from Oskia, but Japan and South Korea have also submitted a lot of applications. However, a large number of these applications were rejected."

Liam asked in disbelief, "Why is that so?"

Smith said very seriously, "Mr. Weaver, our Western requirements for testing as well as reviewing drugs are very different from that of traditional Eastern medicine. One of the most important points is that there must be a clear pharmacokinetic test."

"You must tell us clearly what is the active ingredient for this drug, for what reason it is used, and what kind of effect it plays. You would also have to tell us whether this drug has toxic side effects in the body on various organs, especially so for the liver and kidneys, and how long is the metabolic cycle of its ingredients i n the body. If these things are not clear, there is no way we can allow it to enter the American market for sale."

Liam hurriedly said, "The composition of the prescriptions of many Oskian medicines are very complex and so, the internal composition is also very complex. This is unlike Western medicines which are mostly chemical drugs with only one active ingredient, such as penicillin or aspirin, where a molecular formula can already reflect its actual composition. It is difficult for Oskian medicine to meet the requirements of the West, but shouldn't this b e based on seeking common ground while reserving our differences?"

Smith shook his head and said, "Sorry, Mr. Weaver. Seeking common ground while preserving differences is something that we cannot do. Rules are rules, and all drugs that are to enter the United States market must meet all our rules in principle. Otherwise, they cannot be marketed and sold."

Liam hurriedly said, "Our drug is extremely effective, and this is recognized by all patients. It is also a bestselling drug in many countries. As far as I know, many American patients are also buying our Apothecary Stomach Pills through a proxy, but this method not only takes a long time, but it also costs much more. They too hope that the FDA will allow the Apothecary Stomach Pill to enter the United States market as soon as possible."

Smith shook his head and said, "Many patients themselves cannot tell whether your drug has a clear therapeutic effect or whether it is a strong effect of surface symptom relief. It would be easy if it was the former case, but if it's the latter, it is also likely to delay the treatment of the actual sickness."
