Icosapent

Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to icosapent ethyl (CAS RN 86227-47-6) and icosapent sodium (CAS RN 73167-03-0). Icosapent is a naturally occurring omega-3-fatty acid and is indicated as an adjunct to diet to reduce triglyceride levels in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia. Icosapent ethyl is an ethyl ester of eicosapentaenoic acid. Icosapent ethyl is converted to icosapent, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3-fatty acid during absorption. It is thought that icosapent slows the synthesis or secretion of very low density lipoprotein triglycerides by the liver.

Affygility Solutions has an occupational exposure limit (OEL) and control band assignment for this active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). This monograph also contains the acceptable daily exposure (ADE) value.
