Vascepa can cause AF

I was watching TV and the Vascepa drug ad was in. The announcer starts saying “do not take if you have A, B, or C. Afib and allergies to shellfish-iodine was mentioned. Usually I ignore what they say but I heard the AF and irregular arrhythmia was mentioned. Just a FYI post.

P.S
