DES: V certainly did well for me off-label in 3-4 days after 1st capsules. But Amarin or a partner better get going before Shire and Jennifer Aniston crank up...saw her ad just recently. I would expect AMRN to easily beat Shire in effectiveness, safety and price[Restasis did nothing, ~ $5k/year, and takes 6 months]:

What happened to the 1A settlement - I thought that Amarin would get 2 off label promotions per year. Did we not get any - I assume Anchor isn't one of them... no?

JL, On V Indications

When I started on V the DES I was experiencing in my left eye went away in less than 2 months. A very good thing...

But another inflammatory problem I had was regular bouts with Rosacea every month or so. This was treated with antibiotics by my dermatologist. Within 3 months this problem went away. Since initiating the 4 gram V regimen this problem has been eliminated.

I do not know the incidence of Rosacea in the population but it seems this is another prospective indication for Vascepa albeit less prominent than those you have listed.

Cheers
