What is Vascepa?

Vascepa is a prescription medication given to adults to:

1. Lower high levels of fat (triglycerides) in the blood, when used alongside a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet.
2. Reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and other heart problems that can cause hospitalization in adults with heart disease, or in adults with diabetes and at least two more risk factors for heart disease.

Triglycerides are a type of fat that make up the majority of fats in the human body. They are vital for the proper functioning of your cells and organs. Excess triglycerides are stored as fat reserves in fat cells. We get triglycerides from saturated and unsaturated fat in the foods we eat, including both vegetable and animal fats.

Having high triglycerides levels is called hypertriglyceridemia. It is usually caused by being overweight, overeating, and eating a diet high in fats, sugar, and processed carbohydrates (like white bread and pasta). If you have hypertriglyceridemia, or if you are at risk of developing heart disease or other heart problems, your doctor may have prescribed Vascepa to you. Vascepa is a medication you take as a tablet you swallow. It can reduce your blood triglyceride levels when used alongside changes to your diet, and can reduce your risk of strokes, heart attacks, and heart disease.

Vascepa active ingredients

The active ingredient in Vascepa is called icosapent ethyl. It is made from an omega-3 fatty acid from fish (omega-3 fish oil) that you may be familiar with as a dietary supplement. Clinical research has shown that icosapent ethyl can reduce blood triglyceride levels in adults with hypertriglyceridemia, and reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and other heart problems. It is not fully understood how icosapent ethyl does this, but it is likely that it reduces how much triglyceride is produced in the liver and increases how much triglyceride is removed from the blood.

Vascepa side effects & Vascepa drug interactions

The most common side effects caused by Vascepa are:

• Constipation
• Muscle and joint pain
• Swelling of the hands, legs, or feet
• Gout
• An irregular and often rapid heart rate called atrial fibrillation

In rare instances, Vascepa can cause more serious side effects. These include:

• An increased risk of serious heart rhythm problems, like atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, that can result in hospitalization. This is more likely in people who have cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or people who have previously had heart rhythm problems.
• Severe allergic reactions to the medication that can cause rashes, hives, a rapid heart rate, and swelling of the face, mouth, and throat that can make it difficult to breathe.
• An increased risk of bleeding, including serious bleeding that continues for long periods.

As Vascepa can interact with other medications, it is important to tell your prescribing doctor about all drugs you are taking, particularly any medications that affect how your blood clots, such as anticoagulants or blood thinners.
