Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) is a prescription medication used to lower triglyceride levels in adults with high triglycerides. Statins are a class of medications used to lower cholesterol levels. According to Drugs.com, there are no known interactions between Vascepa and statins, including atorvastatin [2]. However, it is important to note that Vascepa is not a statin and should not be used as a replacement for statins in individuals who require cholesterol-lowering therapy [3]. Medical News Today reports that Vascepa has been shown to have additional cardiovascular benefits beyond its triglyceride-lowering effects, and it may be used in combination with statins in certain patients to further reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke [3]. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medications or making changes to an existing medication regimen.
