What you pay for Vascepa depends on your plan's drug list and your coverage phase. If your income is limited, Extra Help lowers drug costs: in 2026 you pay no more than $5.10 for a generic and $12.65 for a brand-name drug, with income under $23,940 ($32,460 for a married couple) and resources under $18,090 ($36,100 for a couple) (CMS).

What is Vascepa used for?

Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) is a purified prescription form of EPA, an omega-3 fatty acid. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:

• Along with the highest statin dose a person can tolerate, to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, procedures to open heart arteries, and hospital stays for unstable angina in adults with high triglycerides (150 mg/dL or more) who have heart disease, or diabetes plus 2 or more other heart risk factors.
• Along with diet, to lower triglycerides in adults with severe high triglycerides (500 mg/dL or more).

Vascepa comes as 1 g and 0.5 g capsules. The label's daily dose is 4 grams, taken as two 1 g capsules (or four 0.5 g capsules) twice a day with food, so a 30-day supply is 120 capsules of 1 g or 240 capsules of 0.5 g. Vascepa has no boxed warning. The label warns about heart rhythm problems (atrial fibrillation or flutter), bleeding, and possible allergic reactions in people allergic to fish or shellfish. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
