What You Need To Know About Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl)

What is Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl) used for?

Vascepa (generic name: Icosapent Ethyl) is a prescription medication used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in adults with elevated triglyceride levels. It is specifically indicated for patients with triglyceride levels of 150 mg/dL or higher who are already on statin therapy for cholesterol management.

How Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl) works

Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl) is derived from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil. Unlike over-the-counter fish oil supplements, Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl) is highly purified and specifically formulated to provide a therapeutic dose of EPA without significant amounts of other fatty acids.

The primary mechanism of action for Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl) involves lowering triglyceride levels and reducing inflammation. It has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other major cardiovascular events. 

Common Side Effects of Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl)

Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl) offers a myriad of benefits for controlling triglyceride levels in the blood. Despite its benefits, it has several side effects to be aware of before taking it.

How to Take Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl)

To ensure the safe and effective use of Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl), it is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and the guidelines on the Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl) prescription label.

Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl) is available as a 500-mg and 1000-mg amber-colored, liquid-filled soft gel capsule for oral administration.

The usual dose of Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl) is 2000 mg (2 g), taken twice daily with food, which means taking 4000 mg (4 g) daily. Depending on the strength prescribed, you may need to take multiple capsules to achieve the correct dose:

  • For Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl) 500 mg capsules, take four capsules twice daily with food.
  • For Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl) 1000 mg capsules, take two capsules twice daily with food.

Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl) must always be taken with food for optimal absorption while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember.

Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the dosage and administration of Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl). Do not adjust your dose or discontinue the medication without consulting your provider.

What Are Medication Alternatives to Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl)?

While Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl) is an effective option for lowering high triglyceride levels and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events, your healthcare provider might consider several alternative medications based on your specific health requirements and medical history.

  • Lovaza (Omega-3-Acid Ethyl Esters) - a prescription fish oil medication used to lower very high triglyceride levels. It contains a combination of EPA and DHA, which are types of omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Epanova (Omega-3-Carboxylic Acids) - another prescription omega-3 fatty acid medication that helps to reduce high triglyceride levels. This medication provides a combination of EPA and DHA and is taken as 2 grams or 4 grams once daily.
  • Fenofibrate (Tricor, Lipofen) - a fibrate medication that helps to lower triglyceride levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
  • Gemfibrozil (Lopid) - used to lower triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol. It is often prescribed when lifestyle changes and other medications are insufficient.
  • Niacin (Nicotinic Acid) - a B vitamin that, in higher doses, can help lower triglycerides and LDL (bad) cholesterol while raising HDL cholesterol.
  • Omega-3 Supplements - Over-the-counter omega-3 supplements can provide a non-prescription alternative for patients looking to increase their intake of EPA and DHA.

Discuss your condition with your healthcare provider to determine the best treatment option. They will consider your overall health, existing medical conditions, and potential interactions with your current medications before recommending an alternative to your Vascepa (Icosapent Ethyl) prescription.
