Vascepa is a prescription medication used to treat high levels of triglycerides in the blood. The drug contains the active ingredient icosapent ethyl and is manufactured by Amarin Pharma Inc. According to Drug Patent Watch [1], the patent for Vascepa is set to expire in July 2025. However, the manufacturer has obtained additional patents for the drug, which may extend its exclusivity period.

GoodRx [2] reports that the average retail price for a 120-capsule supply of Vascepa 1 gram is around $330. However, the actual price may vary depending on the pharmacy and location. The website also provides a coupon that can be used to save up to 18% on the medication. The coupon can be used at over 70,000 pharmacies across the United States.

Vascepa's manufacturer offers a savings program for eligible patients [3]. The program offers a Vascepa copay card that can be used to save up to $75 on each prescription refill. The card can be used for up to 12 months and can be used at any participating pharmacy.

Compared to other medications used to treat high levels of triglycerides, Vascepa is generally more expensive. However, the manufacturer's savings program and the availability of GoodRx coupons can help to reduce the cost for eligible patients.
