Lovaza Description
Lovaza is a medicine designed for patients who have very high triglyceride levels. Having elevated triglyceride levels increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Some patients have a genetic predisposition for high triglyceride levels, and this may have been detected at a young age. Other causes for high triglyceride levels are due to a high dietary intake of fats. Lovaza contains esterified fish oils, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids that aid in lowering triglyceride levels.
This medicine is designed to be used in conjunction with a low-fat diet to attain the best results.
