See the DrugPatentWatch profile for vascepa

Based on the information provided, the most commonly reported Vascepa side effects include:
1. Musculoskeletal pain [1]
2. Swelling in the arms and/or legs [1]
3. Constipation [1]
4. Increased ALT and AST (liver enzymes) [1]

These side effects were reported in clinical trials and post-marketing surveillance of Vascepa, a prescription medication used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in adults with high triglyceride levels [1].

Vascepa, also known as icosapent ethyl, is a formulation of the omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) [1]. It is manufactured by Amarin Pharma, Inc. [1].

It is important to note that while these are the most commonly reported side effects, they are not the only ones associated with Vascepa use [1]. Other less common side effects may also occur [1].

Individuals taking Vascepa should consult with their healthcare provider if they experience any side effects, as they may be able to provide advice on how to manage them [1].
