Thank you. Good to know and congrat's on your weight loss!

Healthline had this info to share:

Does Vascepa cause weight loss or hair loss?
No, Vascepa does not cause weight loss or hair loss. These weren’t reported side effects in studies of Vascepa.

Your doctor may prescribe Vascepa with a low fat diet to help lower your triglyceride levels. Some people may lose weight because of changes in their diet.

Hair loss is a side effect of statin medications that you might take with Vascepa. Other treatments for lowering triglyceride levels, such as fibrates, may also cause hair loss.

If you’re concerned about weight loss or hair loss during Vascepa treatment, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. They can help determine the cause of these side effects and recommend treatments that may help.
