An FDA-approved fish oil-based drug has been available since 2004. I would think that fact would qualify it as a medication topic. (Not to mention many mainstream p-docs recommend fish oil to their patients.) The patent has just expired, so it'll be interesting to see whether more docs start prescribing it rather than suggesting (cheaper) OTC supplements if/when generics become available. The clinical evidence is promising.
