Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

Vascepa, as an anti-inflammatory drug has been mentioned as a treatment for the condition of Dry Eyes, which is due to inflammation of the lacrimal gland...However, Amarin has no cash to do studies to prove this, even though there is a large market for the indication....

e.g...Regeneron has been selling 'Regener-Eyes' ,an OTC product for Dry Eyes, in effort to capture this large market.

QUOTE from the FDA..."Be wary of unproven eye drop treatment with amniotic fluid,"

"There is no evidence that amniotic fluid is safe or effective for Dry Eyes."

I, as a retired ophthalmologist, would tend to agree with the FDA...There is no evidence that amniotic fluid is safe or effective for Dry Eyes...Dry Eyes are are "crying out" for studies to be done to show that Vascepa is safe and effective, as IMO, Vascepa definitely is.
