FDA requires all SE's listed in PI's that are 3% greater than placebo for any drug. Since nothing was seen with V at this threshold FDA required it to be lowered to 2%. Still nothing seen. So this is when FDA said well you have to list something for fair balance.

Say what? Who told you this? FDA changing rules for AMRN again? Nothing in this doc that mentions exact %'s, just a vague "specified rate":

The ADVERSE REACTIONS
section must include a listing of all such reactions that occurred at or above a specified
rate that is appropriate to the drug’s safety database (see III.B.3), a separate listing of
those adverse reactions that occurred below the specified rate, but for which there is
some basis to believe there is a causal relationship between the drug and the event

The ADVERSE REACTIONS section next should list the adverse reactions
identified from clinical trials that occurred at or above a specified rate appropriate
to the database (for purposes of this guidance, “common” adverse reactions). The
listing must include the rate of occurrence of an adverse reaction for the drug and
any comparators (active- or placebo-controls), unless such data cannot be
determined or presenting the rates for a comparator would be misleading (§
201.57(c)(7)(ii)(A)). To permit side-by-side comparison of adverse reaction
rates, common adverse reactions are typically presented in a table
.
