Vascepa, a prescription medication containing pure EPA omega-3 fatty acid, is primarily used to lower triglyceride levels in adults. While there is no direct evidence or specific information available regarding the interaction between Vascepa and probiotics, it is generally recommended to take probiotics at least two hours apart from any medication to ensure optimal absorption and effectiveness. Since Vascepa is typically taken with meals, probiotics can be consumed during other times of the day to avoid any potential interference with the medication's absorption or effectiveness. It is always advisable to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized advice on how to best manage the timing of taking Vascepa and probiotics to maximize their individual benefits.
