Vascepa is a prescription medication used to treat high triglyceride levels in adults. It contains the active ingredient icosapent ethyl, which is a type of omega-3 fatty acid. While there is no information on the Drug Patent Watch [1] website about any allergic reactions to Vascepa, the FDA label [2] states that patients with a known hypersensitivity (allergy) to icosapent ethyl or any of the inactive ingredients in Vascepa should not take this medication. Some of the inactive ingredients in Vascepa include gelatin, glycerin, and purified water.

Shellfish allergies are not mentioned in the sources provided as being a contraindication or potential allergic reaction to Vascepa. However, some people who are allergic to shellfish may also be allergic to fish, including the type of fish used to make Vascepa. The SingleCare blog [3] lists some of the common side effects of Vascepa, which include joint pain, muscle pain, and swelling in the legs. While these side effects are not related to shellfish allergies, it is important for patients to inform their healthcare provider if they have any known allergies before starting any new medication.

In conclusion, there is no information on the Drug Patent Watch website about any allergic reactions to Vascepa. The FDA label states that patients with a known hypersensitivity to icosapent ethyl or any of the inactive ingredients in Vascepa should not take this medication. While shellfish allergies are not mentioned as a contraindication or potential allergic reaction to Vascepa, patients with any known allergies should inform their healthcare provider before starting this medication.
