About Trascepa 1000 Softgel Capsule

Trascepa 1000 Softgel Capsule 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.

Trascepa 1000 Softgel Capsule 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 Trascepa 1000 Softgel Capsule 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 Trascepa 1000 Softgel Capsule

Trascepa 1000 Softgel Capsule is used in the treatment of High cholesterol (Hypertriglyceridemia). The detailed uses of Trascepa 1000 Softgel Capsule are as follows:

  • Cardiovascular risk reduction: Trascepa 1000 Softgel Capsule 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.
  • Severe hypertriglyceridemia: Trascepa 1000 Softgel Capsule is used with a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet to lower very high triglyceride levels (≥500 mg/dl) in adults. Elevated triglycerides can increase the risk of pancreatitis and cardiovascular disease.
  • 3 fatty acid therapy: As a purified form of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Trascepa 1000 Softgel Capsule helps regulate lipid metabolism and reduce inflammation, without significantly raising LDL cholesterol like some other omega-3 formulations.

Key Benefits

  • Trascepa 1000 Softgel Capsule contains Icosapent Ethyl, a lipid-lowering medicine belonging to the group of antilipemic (lipid-regulating) agents. It helps reduce high triglyceride levels and improves the overall cholesterol profile.
  • It works by decreasing the production of triglycerides and other fats in the liver.
  • It is used along with lifestyle modifications such as diet control, weight management, and exercise for better heart protection.
  • It helps lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other serious cardiovascular events.
  • It is especially beneficial in adults with high triglyceride levels who also have heart disease or diabetes with additional cardiovascular risk factors.
  • It supports long-term heart health by reducing fat buildup in blood vessels and improving blood flow.
Side effects of Trascepa 1000 Softgel Capsule
  • Wear compression garments like stockings, sleeves, or gloves to apply pressure and help stop fluid from building up, especially after the swelling goes down.
  • Move around and do exercises to help the fluid circulate, especially in swollen limbs. Ask your doctor for specific exercises.
  • Raise the swollen area above your heart level several times a day, even while sleeping, to help reduce swelling.
  • Gently massage the swollen area with firm but not painful pressure.
  • Keep the swollen area clean and moisturized to prevent injury and infection.
  • Reduce salt intake to help prevent fluid from building up and worsening the swelling, as advised by a doctor.
  • If the swelling does not get better after a few days of home treatment or worsens, consult your doctor right away.
  • Drink plenty of water to eliminate uric acid.
  • Avoid purine-rich foods such as red meat, organ meats, certain seafood (sardines, anchovies) and too much alcohol.

  • To reduce pain and swelling, apply ice packs to the affected area.
  • Take rest and avoid activities that strain the affected joint.
  • Elevate the affected joint to encourage fluid drainage.

Here are the steps to manage Joint Pain caused by medication usage:
  • Please inform your doctor about joint pain symptoms, as they may adjust your medication regimen or prescribe additional medications to manage symptoms.
  • Your doctor may prescribe common pain relievers if necessary to treat joint discomfort.
  • Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key to relieving joint discomfort. Regular exercise, such as low-impact sports like walking, cycling, or swimming, should be combined with a well-balanced diet. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night to assist your body in repairing and rebuilding tissue.
  • Applying heat or cold packs to the affected joint can help reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Please track when joint pain occurs and any factors that may trigger it, and share this information with your doctor to help manage symptoms.
  • If your joint pain is severe or prolonged, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying disorders that may require treatment.
