I notice that Vascepa is the last of five options after statins on a list of drugs that might help people who have high cholesterol or a history of heart issues. I can't imagine most people will click on all six entries, even if they manage to find the page where Vascepa is described.
My concern is with the "side effects" entry for Vascepa. It sounds pretty grisly even though JT once described it as having the safety profile of aspirin. If what JT said is true, shouldn't the company be striving to warn customers appropriately of side effect potential, without scaring the hell out of them?
In this passage, it looks like the companies got to dictate how the warnings label should read. At least one of these companies didn't even list side effects. And this one tried to downplay it:
Are there any side effects?
Like all medications, some people may experience side effects, but inclisiran is generally very safe and well tolerated. The most common side effects reported include pain and redness or rash at the injection site. It does not interact with other medications.
But Amarin likes to dwell on the gore. Yikes!:
Like all medications, icosapent ethyl can sometimes cause side effects. The most commonly-reported side effects include the following:
Palpitations
Burping
Constipation
Gout (painful swelling in the joints because of a build up of uric acid)
Bruising (particularly if taking anti-clotting medicine)
Pain in muscles, bones and joints
Swelling in the legs and feet
Skin reactions / rash
