That’s not for all meds, only heat sensitive (insulin, etc). Also, it is outbound.

Is it?

seven out of 10 of the top pharmaceuticals used in the U.S. require temperature controlled shipping. Source

Do you have evidence that (a) pharmacies care at all about temp control for Vacsepa/Lovaza specifically

Do you have evidence that they store any drugs outside of the temperature guidelines? Unless you do, the logical assumption is that the pharmacy is doing their job. The temperature guidelines for storing Vascepa are:

Store at 20° to 25° C (68° to 77°F); excursions permitted to 15° to 30° C (59° to 86°F) Source

I don't know what pharmacies you go to, but every pharmacy I've been to has had building-wide HVAC (with the exception of one in Quintana Roo -- and I recall them keeping their drugs in climate controlled refrigerators).

, and (b) that they are packaged and sent to pharmacies in temp control containers from the manufacturer?

You may wish to ask Investor Relations that question. What is known is that between early 2012 and late 2013 Amarin retained the services of a Director of Planning and Logistics of Supply chain with expertise in Cold-Chain solutions for domestic and international transport of pharmaceuticals.
