Can aspirin and vascepa cause any adverse reactions?



Aspirin and Vascepa can cause adverse reactions, and it is essential to be aware of them before taking these medications.

Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, reduce fever, and prevent blood clots. According to Drug Patent Watch [1], aspirin can cause side effects such as stomach pain, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. In rare cases, aspirin can also cause severe allergic reactions, bleeding, and liver damage. Aspirin is not recommended for people who have bleeding disorders or are taking blood-thinning medications.

Vascepa is a prescription medication used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in certain adult patient groups. According to the FDA [3], Vascepa can cause side effects such as joint pain, swelling of the hands, feet, or ankles, and constipation. In rare cases, Vascepa can also cause severe allergic reactions, pancreatitis, and liver problems. Vascepa is not recommended for people who are allergic to icosapent ethyl or any of its components.

In conclusion, both aspirin and Vascepa can cause adverse reactions, and it is essential to be aware of them before taking these medications. If you experience any of these side effects, you should contact your doctor immediately. Your doctor may adjust your dosage or recommend a different medication.
