What is the weekly script number source? Symphony Health Solutions or IMS Health? Always from the same?

Reason for the question:

10-Q: 'Symphony Health Solutions, the estimated number of normalized total Vascepa prescriptions ... approximately 93,000 ... IMS Health ... approximately 78,000.'

Sum of 'reported' data: 84.426 (3/1 -31/3)

regarding them: http://seekingalpha.com/article/2223463-arena-script-sales-still-climbing

'.. two reporting services, IMS Health and Symphony Health. While most readers comprehend the data, what it captures, and what it means, there are still some that are not clear on what these companies do, what they count, and why the two numbers differ. Both IMS Health and Symphony provide a weekly estimate on sales of prescriptions to consumers. Neither company captures all of the data and both must develop a formula to extrapolate what they feel the actual sales are.'
