Thanks RAF. I’ve been taking Vascepa for the past 16 months. Went to CVS yesterday, and once again, had to ask them to refill my Script because they were selling me generic Hikma. Pharmacist told me that the computer system automatically changes the Script to generic; even though my account specifically requests BRAND. Craziness. No wonder Hikma is gaining market share on Refills (as per KM in our recent Shareholder broadcast).

Generic lovazza is what is eating into our growth and I am sad to say that two family members in NY were told by their cardiologists that V is a trig drug. One family member was told their trigs were fine so they left without a script. The other was given a script for GL and he claims it’s too hard on his stomach and stopped taking it altogether. I think these scripts are getting swapped for GL and I think GL has lots of script attrition because it’s on on your stomach. I blame the Amarin sales and marketing team. I gave my relatives the information to hand to their cardiologist for a real V script. They will let me know what happens on their next appointment.
