Jeff,
I agree that a public fight with the FDA is not a winning strategy. However, virtually every pharma does battle with the FDA behind closed doors. The lobbying that goes into getting agreement on the label is very intense and there is tremendous presure from sales and marketing to push the envelope on marketing materials. Xeno is their first marketed drug and they must show differentiation to take market share from the generics. SEPR has a very aggressive maybe even arogant management style. They were incredibly bold to grab the single isomer opportunity. Some of that same agressiveness that served them well in the past could be hurting them here.
Although you couldn't tell from todays stock movement. I for one am not complaining.
