Who makes Vascepa (icosapent ethyl)?
Vascepa is manufactured by Amarin Pharma, Inc., the company behind the drug brand. It is an FDA-approved prescription product containing icosapent ethyl.
Which company’s website and label should you look for?
If you’re verifying the manufacturer for sourcing, compliance, or pharmacy purchasing, check the “Manufactured for/By” information on the specific Vascepa package insert or the prescription label for the exact product you’re using, since the name and location of the manufacturing site can vary by lot and distribution channel.
Where can you verify the drug’s patent and manufacturing-related details?

If you meant “generic vs. brand,” who makes the active ingredient product?
Vascepa is the brand name for icosapent ethyl; competitors (if available in your market) would be different branded versions or eventual generics/biosimilars, but the specific “manufacturer” depends on the exact marketed product in your country and the packaging/label of that product.
What to do if you need the exact manufacturer for procurement?
Share the country (or the NDC on the bottle/box) and the strength (e.g., 0.5 g capsules). With that, it’s possible to identify the exact labeled manufacturer information for that specific product.
