Vascepa is a prescription drug that contains the active ingredient icosapent ethyl. It is used to treat high levels of triglycerides in the blood. While there is no evidence to suggest that taking Vascepa with other supplements is harmful, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before combining any medications or supplements.
According to Drug Patent Watch [1], Vascepa is a "single active ingredient" medication, meaning it does not contain any other ingredients that could interact with supplements. However, Healthline [2] notes that some supplements, such as omega-3 fatty acids, may have similar effects to Vascepa and could potentially increase the risk of bleeding when taken together. Additionally, WebMD [3] warns that taking Vascepa with blood thinners or other medications that affect blood clotting could also increase the risk of bleeding.
It is important to talk to a healthcare provider before taking Vascepa with any other supplements or medications. They can provide guidance on whether it is safe to combine these treatments and monitor for any potential interactions or side effects.
