Icosapent ethyl is a prescription medication derived from omega-3 fatty acids. It’s an isolated form of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 fatty acid. This medication is used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, in adults with elevated triglyceride levels. It works by lowering triglyceride levels which in turn reduces inflammation and improves heart health. Icosapent ethyl has been shown to significantly lower triglycerides without raising LDL cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol). The medication works by reducing the production of triglycerides in the liver and increasing their removal from the bloodstream. Icosapent ethyl is typically prescribed in conjunction with statins, as the combination can provide enhanced protection against cardiovascular risks.
