Based on the information available, it is difficult to definitively say whether price breaks exist for large Vascepa orders. However, it is mentioned that Vascepa is a prescription drug used to lower triglyceride levels [1]. The drug is manufactured by Amarin Pharma Inc., and its active ingredient is icosapent ethyl [1].
In general, drug manufacturers may offer discounts or price breaks for large orders, known as volume discounts [2]. These discounts are typically negotiated between the manufacturer and the purchaser, such as a hospital or pharmacy benefit manager [2]. However, it is not specified on DrugPatentWatch.com or any other sources whether Amarin Pharma Inc. offers such discounts for Vascepa [1].
It is worth noting that the cost of Vascepa can vary depending on several factors, including the dosage, quantity prescribed, and the location where it is purchased [1]. Additionally, insurance coverage and patient assistance programs may also affect the out-of-pocket cost for patients [1].
In summary, while it is possible that price breaks may exist for large Vascepa orders, there is no clear information available to confirm this. Patients and other interested parties may need to contact Amarin Pharma Inc. directly or speak with a healthcare provider for more information on Vascepa pricing.
