Are there any food interactions with vascepa?



According to the sources provided, there are no known food interactions with Vascepa (icosapent ethyl), a prescription medication used to lower high levels of triglycerides in the blood. However, it is recommended to take Vascepa with food to increase its absorption and decrease the risk of stomach upset [2].

It is important to note that Vascepa should not be taken with other medications that contain omega-3 fatty acids, as this may increase the risk of side effects [3]. Additionally, it is important to inform your healthcare provider of any other medications, supplements, or vitamins you are taking, as they may interact with Vascepa and affect its effectiveness [2].

As with any medication, it is recommended to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and pharmacist regarding the proper use and administration of Vascepa [1].
