Вот что нашел по смене имени:

OMACOR is changing to LOVAZA. New name, new NDC#s, but it is the same medication.
Why is the name changing?
• Patient safety is of utmost importance
• Reliant Pharmaceuticals is taking this step at the request of the FDA in response to a limited number of prescribing and dispensing errors due to similarity in the name between OMACOR and Amicar
Same efficacy, safety and tolerability
• Size, strength and ingredients of the OMACOR gel capsule will remain unchanged.
Only the name and NDC#s are changing
When?
• LOVAZA will begin shipping mid-July. Please sell through existing OMACOR until stock is exhausted or if you have a specific prescription for LOVAZA
• Reliant will begin marketing to physicians and industry August 1, 2007

Совпадает по дате с приобретением Reliant Pharmaceuticals компанией ГСК, так что не только из-за путаницы с аминокапронкой, но и для выхода на мировой рынок во избежание путаницы с абботовским Омакором
