Description


Generic Name: icosapent ethyl 

Drug Class: lipid-lowering agent

Vascepa Indications  

Vascepa is an oral prescription drug used to reduce the risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and coronary revascularization that requires hospitalization among patients with elevated triglyceride levels. This is given as an adjunct to maximally tolerated statin therapy. This is also used to manage patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia.

Vascepa Dosage Forms

Vascepa Mechanism of Action  

This drug has a multi-factorial mechanism. It increases beta-oxidation, inhibits acyl-CoA: 1,2 diacylglycerol acyltransferase, decreases lipogenesis in the liver, and increases plasma lipoprotein lipase activity. These actions can lower the number of triglycerides made by the body and reduce cardiovascular events.

Make a dosing schedule. Do not increase or decrease your Vascepa dosage without your doctor’s advice.
