Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

No Catch-22 on the generic capsule being different - assuming AMRN's patents do protect the capsule ingredients - they just need to have a capsule that provides the same protection against oxidation of the EPA. The inactive ingredients of a generic drug aren't controlled by the FDA, the drug component just needs to work approximately the same way as the brand drug. Every once in a while CVS will change their source of one of my generic drugs - the shape, color, and size of the pill can vary wildly from what I used to get - the generic just contains different amounts of inactive fillers and dyes, amount of drug is still the same.
