I believe the number to treat to save one life was 20. So 20 patients on Vascepa costs how much? and one fatal heart attack with ambulance, ER, IC etc and then death and funeral expenses costs how much? Vascepa wins.

Cost savings Explained-

Savings is directly related to number needed to treat. That’s what everyone looks at.

NNT is 21 for Vascepa. Outstanding. Unbelievable. Most drugs not even close to this.

BP control NNTs

1 in 125 were helped (prevented death)
1 in 67 were helped (prevented stroke)
1 in 100 were helped (prevented heart attack*)

Get lost. End of story.
