Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

Lucentis and Eylea are the two anti-vegf drugs that run around $2,000 per injection. Both on label. Avastin (or "A satan", as spell check would have it) runs around $50 per injection off label. My doctor went straight to the Avastin and I assume it's because he didn't want to argue with the insurance company - even though I told him the price for the more expensive injections wasn't a problem if it would correct the problem. I don't have MD, I have what is now considered chronic macular edema resulting from retinal surgery. But the problem is essentially the same - inflammation in the macula. Having said that and sparing you all the details that followed my single Avastin injection, I started taking 4g of Omegavia per day back in February to see if that helped with the inflammation (and also some dry eye that has been a side effect from the many eye drops I had been using to control the inflammation and then the steroid induced glaucoma). Unless the Omegavia is just not up to snuff, I can't say that it's made any difference.
