Amarin Says REDUCE-IT Results Are Off Limits To Omega-3 Supplement Claims
Executive Summary
REDUCE-IT results are limited to Amarin's Vascepa "and cannot be extrapolated to omega-3 products that are materially different based on, for example, composition, dosage, and regulatory status," pharma firm says in complaints against Coromega and Omax. Amarin seeks to stifle the omega-3 supplement firms despite First Amendment argument it made in successful litigation against FDA to make truthful statements about its products even though the information is not approved by the agency.
