Based on the available information, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before combining any medications, including aspirin and Vascepa.

Vascepa (generic name: icosapent ethyl) is a prescription medication approved to lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes in adults with cardiovascular disease or diabetes and other risk factors [1]. It is a type of omega-3 fatty acid.

Aspirin, on the other hand, is a common over-the-counter medication used for pain relief, reducing inflammation, and preventing blood clots [2].

According to DrugPatentWatch.com, there are currently no known drug-drug interactions between aspirin and Vascepa [3]. However, this does not necessarily mean that it is safe to combine the two medications without medical supervision.

Combining medications can increase the risk of side effects or reduce the effectiveness of one or both drugs. For example, aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding, and Vascepa may increase the risk of bleeding in some people [1][2].

Therefore, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before combining any medications, including aspirin and Vascepa, to ensure safe and effective use.
