Based on the information provided, there is no direct evidence to suggest that Vascepa, a prescription medication used to lower triglyceride levels, affects dietary nutrient intake. Vascepa contains the active ingredient icosapent ethyl, which is a synthetic fatty acid [1]. The drug works by reducing the production of triglycerides in the body [1].

While Vascepa may alter the levels of certain fats in the body, there is no indication that it directly impacts the absorption or utilization of other dietary nutrients. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or a pharmacist for personalized advice regarding medication use and potential interactions with diet [2].

In summary, based on the available information, Vascepa does not seem to have a direct effect on dietary nutrient intake.
