Sure, I can provide information on common side effects of taking Vascepa.

Vascepa (generic name: icosapent ethyl) is a prescription medication approved to lower the risk of heart attack and stroke in adults with triglyceride levels of 150 mg/dL or higher [1]. Some common side effects of taking Vascepa include:

1. Joint pain
2. Swelling in the arms and legs
3. Constipation
4. Increased ALT and AST levels (liver enzymes)

It's important to note that these side effects are usually mild and do not require medical attention. However, if they persist or become bothersome, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional.

Additionally, it is essential to inform a healthcare provider of any allergies, medical conditions, or other medications being taken before starting Vascepa [2].
