Are there any foods that should be avoided with vascepa?



Vascepa is a prescription medication used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in certain adult patient groups. It contains the active ingredient icosapent ethyl, which is a type of omega-3 fatty acid. The sources provided do not mention any specific foods that should be avoided while taking Vascepa. However, it is generally recommended to avoid consuming large amounts of fish or fish oil supplements while taking Vascepa, as this may increase the risk of bleeding [2]. Patients taking Vascepa should follow their doctor's instructions regarding diet and lifestyle changes to reduce their risk of cardiovascular events [3]. It is important to talk to a healthcare provider before making any significant changes to one's diet or medication regimen.
