Vascepa is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient icosapent ethyl, which is a type of omega-3 fatty acid. It is used to lower triglyceride levels in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia. The recommended dose of Vascepa varies depending on the patient's medical history and current condition.

According to Drug Patent Watch [1], the recommended starting dose of Vascepa is 2 grams twice daily with food. However, the dosage may be adjusted by a healthcare provider based on the patient's response to treatment and tolerability. The maximum recommended dose is 4 grams per day.

SingleCare [2] provides similar information, stating that the recommended starting dose of Vascepa is 2 grams twice daily with food. The maximum recommended dose is also 4 grams per day.

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology [3] evaluated the efficacy and safety of Vascepa in reducing triglyceride levels. The study used a dose of 4 grams per day and found that it was effective in reducing triglyceride levels in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia.

In summary, the recommended starting dose of Vascepa is 2 grams twice daily with food, with a maximum recommended dose of 4 grams per day. However, healthcare providers may adjust the dosage based on the patient's response to treatment and tolerability. It is important to follow the healthcare provider's instructions and not exceed the recommended dose.
