Get icosapent ethyl (generic Vascepa) online prescriptions for high triglycerides

Icosapent ethyl is a prescription medication used to manage hypertriglyceridemia, a condition characterized by high levels of triglycerides in the blood. It may also be prescribed along with a statin to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart problems in individuals dealing with heart conditions, blood vessel diseases, or diabetes.

Icosapent ethyl belongs to the class of drugs known as antilipemic agents. Icosapent ethyl is derived from fish oil and contains a highly purified form of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid.

Icosapent ethyl is available in its generic form or under the brand name Vascepa.

This medication can only be obtained with a prescription, meaning you must have a written prescription from a licensed healthcare provider to purchase it.

Icosapent ethyl is primarily prescribed for the management of hypertriglyceridemia, a condition in which triglyceride levels in the blood are significantly elevated.

Triglycerides are a form of lipid. They are the most common form of fat in the body. Your body makes fatty acids out of unused calories from food, which bind together and make triglyceride molecules. Triglycerides are stored in fat cells and used as energy between meals. When you take in more calories than you burn, these fat molecules build up and can cause damage to your internal organs.

Elevated triglycerides are a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes.
