Medical Description

The Icos capsule is a lipid-lowering medicine used to bring down very high levels of triglycerides, a type of fat found in the blood. It contains icosapent ethyl, a purified form of an omega-3 fatty acid taken from fish oil. Doctors also prescribe it along with a statin to lower the chance of heart-related problems in adults who already have heart disease or diabetes with added risk factors.

  • Support for heart health
  • Reducing the risk of heart-related events

Let your doctor know if you have irregular heartbeats, liver disease, or a problem with your thyroid or pancreas before you begin.

Driving

Alcohol

Directions for Use

Take this capsule as a whole with sufficient water. Swallow it without chewing, crushing, or opening it, and take it with food. Use it in the way and for the length of time your doctor advises.

Storage and disposal

Store this medicine in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep it in its original pack and out of the reach of children. Do not use it after the expiry date, and discard any unused medicine safely.

Quick Tips

  • This medicine works best alongside a low-fat diet, regular exercise, and a healthy weight.
  • Keep taking it even if you feel well, as high blood fats often cause no symptoms.
  • Get your blood fat levels checked from time to time, as your doctor suggests.
  • Tell your doctor if you are allergic to fish or shellfish before you start.

Dosage

Overdose

Taking more than the advised amount is unlikely to cause serious harm, but it is best to stay within the amount your doctor prescribes. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

Since this medicine works best when taken regularly, try not to skip doses. If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Icosapent ethyl lowers the amount of triglycerides the liver makes and helps the body clear these fats from the blood. Keeping triglycerides in a healthier range eases the strain on your blood vessels. Over time this supports your heart and lowers the chance of serious problems.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can change the way Icos capsule works, and this medicine can also affect how a few other medicines work. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements, and herbal products you use. In particular, mention if you are taking blood thinners or other medicines that reduce blood clotting, as using them together may raise the risk of bleeding.
