Salt ?
One of Icosapent Ethyl's synonyms is Ethyl eicosapentaenoic acid.

acid + base ? salt + water

base = OH-

2 H2O ? H3O+ + OH-

Icosapent Ethyl is a pro drug of EPA also. EPA is Eicosapentaenoic acid.

I know this is confusing but:
"In chemistry, salts are ionic compounds that result from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. They are composed of an equal number of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is electrically neutral (without a net charge). These component ions can be inorganic such as chloride (Cl-), as well as organic such as acetate (C2H3O2-) and monatomic ions such as fluoride (F-), as well as polyatomic ions such as sulfate (SO42-)."

Most think of ionic sodium cholride salts, but salt forms can be organic.

Help?
