Vascepa is a prescription medication used to treat high levels of triglycerides in the blood. The medication is not suitable for everyone, and there are certain limitations on who can use the Vascepa discount.

According to the Vascepa website [2], the Vascepa Savings Card is available to eligible patients who have commercial insurance and covers up to $75 off the cost of their monthly prescription. The card can be used for up to 12 months, and patients can renew their card annually if they are still eligible. Patients who do not have insurance or who have government-funded insurance programs such as Medicare or Medicaid are not eligible for the Vascepa Savings Card.

Additionally, the Drug Patent Watch website [1] notes that the generic name for Vascepa is icosapent ethyl, and it is only available by prescription. The medication is manufactured by Amarin Pharma, Inc. and was approved by the FDA in 2012 [3]. The FDA-approved label for Vascepa [3] notes that the medication is not suitable for patients with a known hypersensitivity to icosapent ethyl or any of its components. The label also notes that Vascepa should be used with caution in patients with a history of pancreatitis, hepatic impairment, or hypersensitivity reactions.

In conclusion, the Vascepa discount is available to eligible patients with commercial insurance, but there are limitations on who can use the discount. Patients without insurance or with government-funded insurance programs such as Medicare or Medicaid are not eligible for the discount. Additionally, Vascepa is not suitable for patients with a known hypersensitivity to icosapent ethyl or any of its components and should be used with caution in patients with a history of pancreatitis, hepatic impairment, or hypersensitivity reactions.
