FDA approves omega-3 fish-oil medication Vascepa to reduce risk of death in people with high cholesterol

FDA approves omega-3 fatty drug to reduce heart disease, stroke and death

Vascepa, which is the only product made by pharmaceutical company Amarin, could be prescribed to millions of patients. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that nearly 95 million Americans have high cholesterol. High cholesterol is a condition in which increased levels of fats, like LDL-C and triglycerides, build up in the blood and raise the risk of heart disease and stroke.Heart disease remains the No.

This undated photo provided by Amarin in November 2018 shows a capsule of the purified, prescription fish oil Vascepa. On Friday, Dec. 13, 2019, U.S. regulators approved expanded use of the medication for preventing serious heart complications in high-risk patients already taking cholesterol-lowering pills.Over-the-counter oils may contain a combination of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid .

"I expect Vascepa to do well," Pink said."I have been up against some very serious heart issues, and I have lived with the fact that I am a high-risk patient. Seeing my triglyceride levels come down will be reassuring."

Sounds like a simple update to the old cod liver oil trick.

Big pharma now patenting natural ingredients.

Statin induces Sepsis in rats - an Experiment. Science Direct.

And..... that doesn’t include the restrictions of having to take a statin which cause irreversible harm to the kidneys and smooth muscle all over the body. There is also a high likelihood that chronic Statin use can be causative in sepsis in people over 65. (See next tweet...)

Big pharma spending big money to discredit fish oil you get at vitamin stores

Non-Gmo?

My physician prescribed it for me unfortunately my insurance coverage would not cover it. I would have to pay out of pocket $318 dollars a month... Sad, that this is the current situation for me and others.

At $35.00 for 100/1000mg caps of low DHA omega-3 fish oil = equals one month of OTC for 35 bucks. Big pharmaceutical companies are jerking our chains. $$$$$$$

Is it safe to vape it?

OTC work just as well. You need 2000-4000 units per day to lower triglycerides and raise Hdl

So...fish oil? What's the Vascepa price versus generic chum pills? And is it burpless? Fish fat burps are vomitatious.

What makes this different is: it was studied, has higher dosage, and is a synthetic derivative of the omega-3 fatty acid EPA. Can be sold for higher profit.
