If I am not mistaken, the biggest challenge as I see it is that according to the FDA abandoned (generic drug) program, the Cost Plus Drug company will not be able to advertise many of its drugs to advertising monopolies that the FDA has handed out to companies (e.g. Shkreli, but also many bigger pharma companies), which according to a doctor friend of mine is a business killer. However, it's entirely likely that through sheer force of personality and name recognition, Cuban can force through a program of "check our company first", without advertising any particular drug, that gets popular among doctors. Hopefully that will drive eyes to the company without running afoul of the FDA's well intentioned but horribly gone wrong rule.
