About ICOS 1G Capsule
ICOS 1G Capsule belongs to a class of medications called antilipemic or lipid-regulating agents. It is used together with lifestyle changes (diet, weight loss, exercise) to lower the high cholesterol or 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. It is also called hyperlipidemia or hypercholesterolemia.
ICOS 1G Capsule contains Icosapent Ethyl, which works by decreasing the amount of triglycerides and other fats made in the liver. Reduced cholesterol lowers the chance of a heart attack, stroke, or other heart issues that need to be hospitalized in some patients with high triglyceride levels, heart disease, or diabetes who also have two or more additional heart disease risk factors.
Take ICOS 1G Capsule as prescribed. 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. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, contact your doctor. Your doctor will suggest how often you need to take ICOS 1G Capsule based on your medical condition.
Avoid taking ICOS 1G 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. If you become pregnant while taking Icosapent Ethyl, immediately consult your doctor. Inform your doctor about your medical condition and medications you take before taking ICOS 1G Capsule to rule out any possible side effects or interactions. Consuming alcohol while using ICOS 1G Capsule is not advisable.

Disease/Condition Glossary
High cholesterol: Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver to protect nerves, make tissue, and various hormones. Our body also receives cholesterol from food, like cooking oils, eggs, meats, and dairy products. Excess cholesterol is bad for our health. There are two types of cholesterol: ' bad cholesterol' and 'good cholesterol'. Bad cholesterol comprises low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides (TG), while good cholesterol consists of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Usually, there are no specific symptoms of raised or high cholesterol levels but a large deposition of cholesterol in the arteries (plaque) or heart blockage. Blocked artery or plaque formation in the heart's arteries can lead to chest pain (angina), heart attack, or stroke. So, it is advisable to have complete cholesterol tests (lipid profile tests) at least once a year. It will help you closely monitor your heart health and risk of heart attack and stroke.
