What are the potential side effects of aspirin and vascepa?



Aspirin and Vascepa are two different medications used to treat different medical conditions, but they can have side effects.

Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. According to Drug Patent Watch [1], the potential side effects of aspirin include stomach pain, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, and allergic reactions. Aspirin can also increase the risk of bleeding, especially if taken in high doses or for a long time. People with bleeding disorders, stomach ulcers, or a history of stroke or heart attack should consult their doctor before taking aspirin.

Vascepa is a prescription medication used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in certain adult patient groups. According to Drugs.com [2], the potential side effects of Vascepa include joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, skin rash, and flu-like symptoms. Vascepa can also increase the risk of bleeding, especially if taken with other blood-thinning medications. People with bleeding disorders, liver disease, or allergies to fish should consult their doctor before taking Vascepa.

It is important to note that not all people who take aspirin or Vascepa will experience side effects, and the severity of side effects can vary from person to person. If you experience any unusual symptoms while taking these medications, you should contact your doctor immediately.
