About Icos+ 1G Softgel Capsule 7's
Icos+ 1G Softgel Capsule 7's is used together with lifestyle changes (diet, weight loss, exercise) to lower high cholesterol, increased cholesterol levels, and triglycerides in the blood. High cholesterol is a condition in which you have high levels of lipids (fats) in your blood.
Icos+ 1G Softgel Capsule 7's contains Icosapent Ethyl, which works by decreasing the amount of triglycerides and other fats made in the liver. This helps lower the chance of a heart attack, stroke, or other heart issues that need to be hospitalised in some patients with high triglyceride levels, heart disease, or diabetes who also have two or more additional heart disease risk factors.
In some cases, you may experience side effects like musculoskeletal pain, peripheral oedema, constipation, gout, atrial fibrillation, arthralgia (pain in a joint), and oropharyngeal (middle part of the throat) pain. If the side effects persist, contact your doctor.
Avoid taking Icos+ 1G Softgel Capsule 7's if you are allergic to Icosapent Ethyl or any other component in this medicine. It is not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for children and young adults under 18.
Uses of Icos+ 1G Softgel Capsule 7's
Icos+ 1G Softgel Capsule 7's is used in the treatment of High cholesterol (Hypertriglyceridemia). The detailed uses of Icos+ 1G Softgel Capsule 7's are as follows:
- Cardiovascular risk reduction: Icos+ 1G Softgel Capsule 7's is used alongside statin therapy to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events in adults with established heart disease or diabetes and additional risk factors.
