Are there any restrictions on alcohol consumption while taking vascepa?



Vascepa is a prescription medication used to lower triglyceride levels in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia. There are no known interactions between Vascepa and alcohol, and the prescribing information does not list any specific restrictions on alcohol consumption while taking Vascepa [2][3]. However, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before consuming alcohol while taking any medication, as alcohol can interact with some medications and increase the risk of side effects [1]. Additionally, excessive alcohol consumption can also increase triglyceride levels, which may reduce the effectiveness of Vascepa [2]. Therefore, it is recommended to drink alcohol in moderation while taking Vascepa, and to discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider [2][3].
