Based on the information available, there is no direct scientific evidence or research indicating an interaction between Vascepa (a prescription drug used to reduce triglycerides) and probiotics.
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are beneficial for health, particularly the digestive system [1]. Vascepa, on the other hand, is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient icosapent ethyl, which is used to lower triglyceride levels in the blood [2].
While both probiotics and Vascepa can impact cardiovascular health and cholesterol levels, there is no evidence to suggest that they interact with each other. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before starting any new supplement or medication, as individual responses can vary [3].
In summary, while probiotics and Vascepa have individual effects on health, there is no evidence to suggest an interaction between the two.
