Vascepa is a prescription medication used to reduce triglyceride levels in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia. It contains the active ingredient icosapent ethyl, which is an omega-3 fatty acid derivative. According to Drug Patent Watch [1], Vascepa is not known to interact with any specific type of statin. However, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking any new medication.

Statins are a class of drugs used to lower cholesterol levels. According to Medical News Today [2], statins work by blocking an enzyme that the liver needs to produce cholesterol. The article also notes that Vascepa is not a statin and works differently than statins. Therefore, it is unlikely that there would be any significant interaction between Vascepa and statins.

A study published in the American Journal of Managed Care [3] found that patients taking different types of statins experienced similar benefits from taking Vascepa. The study compared the effects of Vascepa on patients taking atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and simvastatin and found that all three groups experienced significant reductions in triglyceride levels. The study did not report any adverse interactions between Vascepa and the statins.

In summary, Vascepa is not known to interact with any specific type of statin. While statins and Vascepa work differently, they can be used together to manage cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Patients should always consult with a healthcare provider before taking any new medication.
