Generic For Vascepa®

starting at $119.99

Icosapent ethyl is a prescription medication derived from omega-3 fatty acids. It’s an isolated form of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 fatty acid. This medication is used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, in adults with elevated triglyceride levels. It works by lowering triglyceride levels which in turn reduces inflammation and improves heart health. Icosapent ethyl has been shown to significantly lower triglycerides without raising LDL cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol). The medication works by reducing the production of triglycerides in the liver and increasing their removal from the bloodstream. Icosapent ethyl is typically prescribed in conjunction with statins, as the combination can provide enhanced protection against cardiovascular risks.

Icosapent ethyl is a highly purified form of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), one of the two major types of omega-3 fatty acids, with no docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) present

It is FDA-approved not just for lowering triglycerides, but also to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke in certain high-risk patients

Icosapent ethyl can reduce triglyceride levels by up to 25–30% in patients with elevated levels

It exerts anti-inflammatory effects by reducing inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP)

Icosapent ethyl may stabilize atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries, reducing the risk of rupture that can lead to heart attacks or strokes

Icosapent ethyl is typically taken twice a day with meals
