I hope that Amrin's counsel will insist on the inclusion of language from the FDA that makes the terms "truthful" and "non-misleading" less elastic than the broad, amorphous interpretations that FDA would certainly attempt to apply if left to their own devices.
The problem, as I view it, is not at all a case of Amarin trying to hoodwink Doctors, the problem is in defining what, exactly, is the criteria that FDA will apply when determining if a statement is truthful? Unless language is crafted that more precisely defines the parameters and criteria that will be applied, I think it very likely that FDA will be endlessly "picking fly-shit out of pepper" in it's vindictive retribution of Amarin.
There is little question in my mind that FDA has a big axe to grind with Amarin, in fact, I doubt there is a solitary reader of this board, Long or Short, that does not acknowledge bad blood between the FDA and Amarin. The FDA has routinely shown themselves to be an extremely self-serving agency in terms of protecting their near imperial power...even if protecting that power includes their use of non-truthful, misleading statements or trampling on U.S. Constitution. Make no mistake, the FDA are indeed bad actors.
