JL, do you happen to know why the Vascepa commercial says if you have liver problems to tell your doctor? It’s not one of the few side effects and I was unable to answer. TIA

It is referring to how the drug is cleared by the body and not a side effect of the drug on the liver. Most drugs are metabolized by enzymes in the liver, so oftentimes, patients with liver disease have decreased ability to metabolize drugs and clear them. Hope this helps!

Edit: I'm on my phone so referencing my sources is challenging, but if you want to learn more, the info should be in Vascepas FDA label insert or googling "pharmacokinetics" should give you the answer you're looking for.
