It looks like a good risk to me... I don't see why a drug like this would get denied considering the only two alternatives out there for triglycerides are fibrates and niacin, both of which can cause really nasty side effects.
So basically AMR101 is pure EPA? Lovaza is another prescription omega3 fatty acid out there but has both EPA and DHA. Another alternative would be just regular non-prescription fish oils.
