Vascepa (generic name: ethyl eicosapentaenoic acid) is a drug derived from omega-3 fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), found in fish oil. It is prescribed primarily to lower high triglyceride levels in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia. Vascepa belongs to a class of drugs known as lipid-lowering agents. This medication works by reducing the production and increasing the clearance of triglycerides from the bloodstream, thus aiding in the prevention of cardiovascular complications. In addition to its lipid-lowering effects, Vascepa has been shown to provide cardiovascular benefits in patients at high risk for heart disease or stroke. Its mechanism is not entirely dependent on triglyceride reduction; it also exhibits anti-inflammatory and plaque-stabilizing properties. For more detailed medical information, visit the  Mayo Clinic web page.

Dosage

It is essential to follow the instructions from the prescribing healthcare provider and in the patient information leaflet. The recommended dosage of Vascepa is 4 grams per day, taken as two 1-gram capsules twice daily with food. It is important to take the medication consistently to achieve optimal results. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible unless it is close to the time for the next dose. In such cases, the missed dose should be skipped, and the regular schedule should be resumed. Do no double-dose to make up for a missed dose.

Storage

Vascepa should be stored at room temperature, typically 20°-25°C (68°-77°F). It should be kept in its original container, away from direct sunlight and moisture. For more information, read our article on drug storage.

Vascepa is FDA-approved for treating severe hypertriglyceridemia, a condition characterized by blood triglyceride levels exceeding 500 mg/dL. Symptoms include abdominal pain, pancreatitis, and fatty deposits in the skin. Vascepa is also used as an adjunct to diet in patients with cardiovascular risk factors to reduce the likelihood of major events such as heart attack, stroke, and coronary revascularization.

Emerging research suggests its potential off-label use in managing metabolic syndrome, marked by obesity, insulin resistance, and high blood pressure, though further studies are needed.

  • How quickly does Vascepa lower triglycerides?
    Vascepa typically begins to lower triglyceride levels within a few weeks of consistent use, though full effects may take longer.
  • How does Vascepa differ from other lipid-lowering agents?
    Vascepa is unique because it is derived from omega-3 fatty acids and offers cardiovascular benefits beyond just lowering triglycerides.
  • Can ethyl eicosapentaenoic acid be taken during pregnancy?
    The safety of ethyl eicosapentaenoic acid during pregnancy is not well established. Consult a healthcare provider before use.
