See the DrugPatentWatch profile for vascepa

When considering drug interactions, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist. However, based on the information available, I can provide a general overview of potential drug interactions between Vascepa and ACE inhibitors.

Vascepa (generic name: icosapent ethyl) is a medication used to lower triglyceride levels in the blood, while ACE (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme) inhibitors are commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure and heart failure [1].

According to Drugs.com, there are no known significant interactions between Vascepa and ACE inhibitors [2]. However, this does not mean that interactions cannot occur, as each person's response to medication can vary. It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist for personalized advice.

It is also important to note that Vascepa and ACE inhibitors can both be used in conjunction with other medications, which may interact with one another. For instance, Vascepa may interact with blood thinners, and ACE inhibitors can interact with various medications, such as diuretics, NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs), and potassium-sparing diuretics [3][4].

In summary, while there are no known significant interactions between Vascepa and ACE inhibitors, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist for personalized advice, as individual responses to medication can vary.
