Jam. Thank you
So joint pain isn’t even showing up in top 5. ?
Mineral oil ( placebo ) creates a loser stool so that’s showing up re diarrhea and constipation .
Thx for posting the data

Re The site you were referring to
My oldest son works in on line marketing . The site you referred to and others like it are unfortunately targeted by those simply trying to influence patient behavior for their own financial benefit

Ie they are often short the Co or work for a competitor

Thx again for the link

Jam. The diarrhea rate is higher in the placebo arm as the placebo used ( mineral oil ) is known to create a looser stool
Parents used to use it ( at higher doses ) if their kids were constipated
It’s also why constipation is reported higher in the Vascepa arm ... because they are comparing it to a product ( mineral oil ) known to relieve constipation .

Bottom line ... compared to all the drugs CAD patients take ... Vascepa is the safest drug with the fewest adverse events

By the way. I don’t think your posts are FUD . You raise real world concerns and your references to Drugs.com is an example that patients need to look at the actual drug PDF and not rely on such dubious sites

Thx for the discussion
