How often do i need to take vascepa for long term use?



Vascepa is a prescription medication used to treat high levels of triglycerides in the blood. According to the sources provided, the recommended dosage for long-term use of Vascepa is 4 grams per day, taken as two capsules twice daily with food [1][2][3]. It is important to follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider and to not exceed the recommended dose.

It is also important to note that Vascepa should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes a healthy diet, exercise, and other medications as prescribed by your healthcare provider [2]. It is not recommended for use in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients in Vascepa or in individuals with liver problems [1].

If you miss a dose of Vascepa, you should take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is close to the time for your next dose, you should skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule [2].

It is important to talk to your healthcare provider about any questions or concerns you may have regarding the use of Vascepa for long-term treatment of high triglyceride levels [3].
