Contraindication Notes:

Omega-3-acid ethyl esters reduce triglyceride production by the liver but this mechanism is not well understood. Omega-3-acid ethyl esters inhibit acyl-CoA: 1,2-diacylglycerol acyltransferase, reducing triglyceride synthesis and increasing paroxysmal beta-oxidation, which increases fatty aside metabolism. Omega-3-acid ethyl esters also inhibit the release of fatty acids by competing for enzymes involved in the synthesis of triglycerides, increase triglyceride clearance by increasing the activity of lipoprotein lipase, and decrease production of VLDL-C.
Patients receiving treatment with both Omega-3-acid ethyl esters and anticoagulants should be monitored periodically.
Adverse events are rarely reported such as dyspepsia, nausea, constipation, gastritis, dizziness etc.
Omega-3-acid ethyl esters should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known whether it is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when Omega-3-acid ethyl esters are administered to a lactating mother.
During therapy with omega-3-acid ethyl esters, LDL-C levels should be monitored and laboratory studies should be performed periodically to measure the patient's TG levels.
