How does vascepa interact with blood thinning medications?



Vascepa is a prescription medication used to reduce triglyceride levels in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia [1]. It contains the active ingredient icosapent ethyl, which is a type of omega-3 fatty acid. According to Drugs.com [2], there are no known interactions between Vascepa and blood thinning medications such as warfarin or aspirin. However, Healthline [3] suggests that patients taking blood thinners should inform their healthcare provider before taking Vascepa, as it may increase the risk of bleeding. It is important to note that any changes in medication should be made under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
