Is there a recommended dosage for long term use of aspirin and vascepa together?



Aspirin and Vascepa are two different medications with different uses and mechanisms of action. Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain, fever, and inflammation, while Vascepa is a prescription omega-3 fatty acid medication used to lower triglyceride levels in adults with high levels of triglycerides.

There is no specific recommended dosage for long-term use of aspirin and Vascepa together, as the dosage of each medication depends on the individual patient's medical condition, age, weight, and other factors. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider and to inform them of all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, that you are taking.

According to the FDA label for Vascepa [3], the recommended dosage is 4 grams per day taken as two capsules twice daily with food. The label also advises that patients taking aspirin should consult their healthcare provider before taking Vascepa, as aspirin may increase the risk of bleeding.

In summary, there is no specific recommended dosage for long-term use of aspirin and Vascepa together. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider and to inform them of all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
