"Would you switch to 100% Vascepa if you could get it for less than $100 a mth co pay ?"
Does a bear snooze in the woods? Heck yeah, $100 per month vs. $217 I've heard some say.
Don't forget that the OMV EPA capsules are slightly more than 500 mg each, around 520 I think, I'll have to look on my bottle. So, to me it's a wash.
I am seriously considering going 100% Vascepa, I don't have many vices, so, lifestyle could afford it, just the sticker shock you know?
How about you? Ever consider taking Vascepa or is Rapatha doing the trick with your inflammation?
Great idea for a bathroom book; What to talk about at fireside chats in August in Boston with your stockbroker.
Nice uptick in AMARIN pps today.
Elizabeth get me another Mai Tai, it's hot in here. John
Response from Vin Kutty, President of INNOVIX Pharmaceuticals
Mr. Nuke,
My name is Vin Kutty and I’m the President of Innovix Pharma, the makers of OmegaVia EPA 500. I understand that you’ve been talking to Lee Johnson in our Customer Service Team about some comments made about our company and products by an individual/organization called MRC or Med Res Collab.
I wish to personally assure you that I do not know this individual or organization. Until you made us aware of it, I did not know about this investment forum or the contents within. It is not uncommon for wild claims to be made on investment forums by those trying to influence stock prices.
For legal, regulatory, and scientific reasons, we do not compare our products to prescription medications.
Having said that, many of the statements in the forum are a combination of statements we openly make on our website, especially FAQ section. Examples of what we say:
Our Certificates of Analyses are available openly at Nutrasource (IFOS)
Our products are made in a cGMP/FDA approved facility
There are no Chinese components in OmegaVia products.
However, other statements such as ‘Vascepa is not put under the wringer like OmegaVia is, because Amarin is not required to,’ may be inaccurate.
The internet is full of strong opinions. We do not find the comments in the link you shared with us to be libelous. I thank you for sharing it with us and we will keep an eye on it from time to time.
In the meantime, let us know if we can be of any assistance.
Sincerely,
Vin
Hmmm, looks like some straight up folks IMHO;
https://omegavia.com/about-us/
I just don't get it, why a fireside chat when it's 115 friggin degrees where I live? Where is John Thero in the Artic?
How about a poolside chat, with lots and lots of scenery? Mai Tai's, Cold brewskies, Nachos, and John telling us all to chill? Like; "We got this"
Or better yet a cool waterfall chat, with a couple of Bigfoots holding up "We want Vascepa" signs.
Is this televised? I can see it now, I can just hear the crackling of the fire, everyone's wearing swimsuits, drinking Mai Tai's
Could work?
sts: I haven't decided yet. I may even get into a dividend paying stock and send the dividends to my checking account.
Louie said that AT&T "T" pays a 6% dividend. There are others that have paid a dividend for many years. What I really like to do is keep the IRS was getting so much of my hard earned money.
jfm; Shades of Erin Brockovich,
Gee whiz. If PG&E gas lines and electrical grid is in such bad disrepair then what's a utility to do?
On the other hand PG&E shouldn't be admitting to any wrong doing and go with the innocent until proven guilty. Look at the "Camp Fire" article, they first admit that they're equipment may have caused the fire. But, during the ensuing investigation they said that line was de-energized? WTF?
It's better to keep yer mouth shut than self-disclose.....Yeah we messed up, sue the heck out of us.....
Hear what the Russians are doing? Post Chernobyl Lessons Learned..... They are keeping things totally under wraps. Any detectors go off at any time and they will make believe that they're having technical difficulties. What meltdown?
Oops, got to say something about Amarin, uhhhhh stock is down, buy all you can.....
Retired: You have too many skeletons I'm afraid. Or should I call you Epstein back from the dead? Something really fishy on his hmmmm suicide????
BTW, I sent INNOVIX MRC IHUB Message and gave them my layman's opinion. I don't think it reflects very well on their company even though MRC was very complimentary towards them in his message. It could have just the reverse effect on them (INNOVIX) because of how it is presented and on what kind of media and on a competitors message board no less.
I don't think INNOVIX would enjoy this kind of advertising IMHO. And you could be unto something MRC knows way too much information about the company without coming from an inside source.
I'll keep you informed as to INNOVIX's response. Frankly, I'm not holding my breadth.
Nuke
Wow, I want to work for your employer..... Something else to ponder.
I work for a Utility in AZ. But, what's happening with PGE (Pacific Gas & Electric)? They weren't blamed for the terrible fires last year and their stock price is in the gutter ($10 and change). They're also planning on going Chapter 11 in January 2020.
Either I'm a crazy fool for thinking, but their Market Cap is $5.8B and their legal fees are $18B? What is going on in California?
Hmmmm, I just paid $617 for V for 90 days supply. CVS took the coupon. I pay out of pocket for my script.
I was supplementing my V script (2 per day) with four (4) Omega Via EPA 500.
Seems to be working, I haven't had a blood test in over a year. Just noticed subtle changes in physiology. Something I didn't realize,but JL reminded me of it. I used to get Herpes breakout almost yearly (cold sores). I don't get them at all now. I might get a twinge here and there, but it goes away very rapidly, no more scabs on the lips for weeks on end. Real turn off for the women..... :D) Come here my darling I want to kiss you......
Igor
The Obama plan, I pay $120 per month family plan. $3,000 deductible for either major medical or Rx meds ($6000 total). I could go to a higher tire $600 per month but do the math.
I took the lower cost plan because I don't get sick very often. Except I'm sick of working for the corporation.
MMMMMM.......beer..... I hope to start either a small winery or brewery. I remember my first IPA, Dogfish, my son made me try it. I couldn't drink it, way too Hoppy. Now, I'm kind of used to IPA's although I still prefer a good Lager St. Pauli girl or Pilsner Urquell
I make a pretty good Sour Peach Ale from locally grown Peaches and local bacteria strains. Yes, bacteria and Peaches in Arizona mind you...... :D)
Trade secret though Red Grapefruit Ale when in season. Lemon Ale as well.
Kiwi; I get OV EPA for $25.86 for 120 Capsules (15 days worth, 8 capsules per day) if you're just taking OV EPA and not Vascepa.
So, that's $51. 72 per month. I'm sure hoping I get covered for V when it's all said and done. I'm also going to be retiring when Amarin gets to $30-$40, I'll only need to sell enough to draw an annuity from plus my combined Social Security and Company Pension. I'll be living quite good and still spoil the grandkids.
Plus I'm changing over to Blue Cross-Blue Shield as I've heard they have the best coverage. On CIGNA now and they really suck.
sts: Me??? make a joke?? Yes, I realize, a poor attempt at pulling Kiwi's chain. He didn't fall for the bait....
So, difficulty swallowing is called Dysphagia? Sometimes I have difficulty drinking water (fear of drowning). So, beer, soda or milk does go down easier. Something about the carbonation that soothes my throat. I really like drinking ice cold milk with lots of ice. The colder the better.
Take care of that Dysphagia.
Nuke
Retiredceo: How can you be sure that MRC is funded by INNOVIX Pharm (OmegaVia?). I just cancelled my shipments of OmegaVia EPA 500 going forward. I also left them an email explaining why I'm cancelling my order.
If this is true and verifiable, then I'll just settle for taking 2 grams of Vascepa per day.
Thanks for your Post can't wait to hear their (INNOVIX) rebuttal if they have one. Either way I'm getting to where I can't trust anything anymore.
I think if this is true about INNOVIX then everyone on IHUB who takes OmegaVia EPA 500 should boycott them. At least it would be a wake up call to stop supporting the MRC faction.
Nuke
Hmmmm, I thought it was because of dairy (fat). If it's just viscosity them give me a shooter......
So, since Kefir is a fermented dairy product, does your wife recommend taking V with a 12 oz. Brewsky or a glass of wine? It's fermented? The CO2 in the beer should work on those Gelcaps pretty quickly.
Now, I'm talking about a Good Homebrewed Beer with lots of Probiotics in it, not some commercially produced swill, like "Michelob Ultra."
Jesse: Sorry to hear about your brother. I lost my older brother years ago and it still effects me deeply. Even more so than losing either of my parents.
What makes it harder is my brother saved my life, so, take things easy.
Take care bro,
Nuke
Touche' SK, I could have used another example. Like "Checks in the mail"
Hopefully, the ADCOM committee won't be swayed like they were in 2013.
“I am an optimist,” Nissen said.
Yeah right, like Bill Clinton said....."I never had relations with that young woman."
Wow, Yahoo Finance has Real time stock quotes.... even better than my Etrade
"Dr Gulati: But wasn’t it underpowered for women based on the numbers and the subgroup analysis? Or are you saying I interpreted it wrong? Just help me. My apologies if i did and I will retract if I did!"
So, where's her retraction? Sometimes people get off track or put blinders on and don't engage the brain before putting mouth into gear.
approximately 2300 women were in the Reduce-it study, that's insufficient? Don't forget this trial was worldwide, lots of room for interpretation and selection criteria. Especially in Eastern Europe. Women are much healthier than Men in this region. Just from personal observation.
ADCOM committee profiles, apologies if this has already been posted. Folks who will determine the fate of VASCEPA for expanded label. Thanks RAF for posting the names.

VuBru: Thanks for posting.
It's totally unfair to those folks who take V but don't or refuse to take statins. So, most likely it could be 1 or 3 that gets selected then I'm screwed by my insurance company because I'm not taking a statin. I'm not a statinista....
Understand I could fall under the risk factor for CVD because of my age, weight, doctors recommendation ect.
Understand the Reduce-It study didn't include non-statin population. Therefore the market potential only gets about 43M adults on statins plus an additional 30-31M Americans with diabetes.
Personally, I would choose 6 or 7, 8 would be great, but it will be what it will be.
Sounds good, let me ask the boss..... my daughter... :D)
When is the JPM Conference?
Things should be hopping around January dontcha think?
Whoa Kiwi and JL together in one place, better call the riot squad.
Could it be that AMRN is way oversold and folks need a place to put their profits? Of course the volume is key. >4M shares in 90 minutes today, not bad for a beat up little Biotech.
Was thinking I could hire a marching band, clown troupe and of course we have our resident Baton twirler.... hire the Village People.
Thinking about calling Montana State and reserve my room, don't think he'd go for a Champagne breakfast though???? I could sleep on his lawn maybe?
:D)
Cheers,
Nuke
Are you bringing your Speedo too? Get it Baton..... as in baton twirler? :D)
Jarrett; Way ahead of his time......
Paul Butterfield; Multi-talented, even plays the blues harmonica
Last group; awesome lick by the guitar player, pretty tame crowd though everyone is in their seats, where's the Mosh pit?
Back at you. Here's the Amarin crowd when Label change gets approved.
jfmcrr; All this time and I didn't pick up on it....... Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia, San Francisco...... Your subliminal message worked.
You cold be mistaken for Jerry Garcia my friend. I finally got it.... :D)
Hope all is well with you and family.
Sign any autographs lately?
Anyone for Tacos?
Nuke
Irish; I'm part Irish so don't get mad. I heard a good Irish joke yesterday.
You probably heard this one already.
You know why beer was invented? Wait for it.......
So the Irish wouldn't take over the world....??
Thanks Sam; Great numbers. Still astounds me to see GL and L still being prescribed with all of the information that is out there.
Unless it's Taco Tuesday? On Tuesdays in AZ Tacos are usually .99 cents.
So, 4 tacos cost 3.96 plus a large drink and tax.
You want any sides with that?
Bio: Why is Elizabeth a problem for Amarin? Is she an ex-girlfriend of yours or something?
Just another Liberal policy maker...
BioChica: what tweets? Be careful the anti-politicos are watching.
Hey jfmcrr; We'd gladly trade up for catfish, as we have lots of Tilapia thriving in our artificial reservoirs. Just don't send us any of those pesky zebra mussels. Besides they don't even taste good and it's like a hummingbird tongue sandwich. You need 10,000 of them to make a meal.
Asian Carp? They'd probably taste pretty good with some Szechuan peppers, grilled and with a cold brewsky..... :D) yummy
Cowardice? That's a strong adjective to use, especially for someone of JT's character. . So, why don't you just button it up or just stop posting your BS or better still go get a job in contracts.
Right now, the FDA holds the cards, for JT to do anything but wait for the label change is the best move. For JT to challenge the FDA so close to a decision of such magnitude would be fool hearty.
I've never met JT, but I have met one of his employees, who is high up. Their opinion of JT is all I need to know about his integrity. As for your integrity.... well what can I say? You want action now, keep up the pressure.
It's like the old bull vs the young bull.
Patience is the key.
So, stop the whining.
Looks like my old math paper from grade school...... :>)
And here I thought Canada had the jump on the FDA.
I will endeavor to persevere......
HD: I hate it when your so precise...... :D)
59 days...... 2 months, going to seem like forever.
qq: The Clock keeps on ticking......
For Canada it's been 126 Days, so we have 215-126 = 89 days
For FDA it's been 126 days, so 6 months = 184 days - 126 days = 58 days

Cal: thanks for the post. Does $50-70 million in additional inventory purchases sound like a company that is expecting a 10-20 million customer base? Or is Amarin building out for a much bigger population? Thanks again for your research.
Nuke
No, it just means they're greedy MF'ers and want to low ball everyone. I don't believe that post either.
Let them keep selling band- aids and baby powder.
Invest83838: Why don't you just STFU about the board awarding themselves free shares. Don't you have anything of value to add to the board? Jesus man..... get a life.
Sell a portion of your shares, book a cruise and enjoy life. Don't bring your crap to this board as I for one am fed up with it.
