Vascepa (active ingredient: icosapent ethyl) is a prescription medication indicated for:
Vascepa belongs to the drug class of omega-3 fatty acid derivatives, which works by reducing the production of triglycerides in the liver and increasing their clearance from the blood, thereby lowering triglyceride levels.
Vascepa is available in capsule form and should be taken exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Take Vascepa capsules by mouth with food as directed by your doctor, typically twice a day. The capsules should be swallowed whole and not crushed, chewed, opened, or dissolved to ensure proper absorption of the medication.
Do not substitute other omega-3 fatty acids or fish oil products for Vascepa without speaking to your doctor as they may not contain the same amount or type of fatty acids. To achieve the most benefit, take the capsules regularly at the same time each day, even if you feel well. Remember to always consult with your doctor for specific dosing instructions and guidance on the use of this medication.
The recommended dosage of Vascepa is typically 4 grams per day, taken as either four 1-gram capsules, two 1-gram capsules twice daily, or four 0.5-gram capsules twice daily with food as an adjunct to maximally tolerated statin therapy to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and coronary revascularization. However, specific dosing instructions may vary and should be determined by your doctor based on your individual needs and medical history.
Vascepa (Icosapent ethly) is available in the following forms and strength:
Vascepa is a prescription omega-3 fatty acid that is like fish oil but not the same. Vascepa is highly purified and contains only EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), while fish oil may contain additional omega-3 fatty acids such as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
It depends on the other medications you are taking. Talk to your doctor before taking Vascepa if you are taking any other prescription or over-the-counter medications, vitamins, or supplements.
If you miss a dose of Vascepa, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not double your dose to make up for a missed one.
