The UK-based biopharmaceutical is a company with expertise in lipid science that is focused on commercialization and development of therapeutics to improve cardiovascular health.

Amarin recently made an agreement with Kowa Pharmaceuticals America Inc., to co-promote Amarin's flagship product, Vascepa capsules in the United States.

Join Vascepa Promotion

Vascepa is approved for use in the United States as an adjunct to diet to reduce triglyceride levels in adult patients with hypertriglyceridemia. In bringing together two companies focused on the primary care and cardiovascular health communities, the agreement is designed to benefit a greater number of patients.

The agreement provides for the near-term expansion of Vascepa promotional efforts through use of Kowa Pharmaceuticals America's sales force to substantially increase both the number of sales targets reached and the frequency of sales calls on existing sales targets.

Under the agreement, Kowa Pharmaceuticals America will employ its sales force of approximately 250 sales representatives to co-promote Vascepa in the United States augmenting Amarin's approximately 130 sales representatives and more than doubling Amarin's current sales detail frequency through primary and secondary details.

Kowa Pharmaceuticals America's sales force is expected to begin its Vascepa promotional efforts in May 2014 to its existing target audience of primary care physicians and cardiologists.
