I have been prescibed 1000mg of omacor four times a day, any information on omacor.?

Answer 1

It is purified fish oil. It is guaranteed to be 1000 mg because the manufacturing of prescription drugs falls under the FDA. You can buy fish oil over the counter but you cannot be sure you are getting the correct dosage. OMACOR IS FISH OIL.

Answer 2

Check the FDA website I have listed below.

Omacor is used along with diet to lower very high triglyceride levels in adult patients. Before taking Omacor, your health care provider should help you try to control your high triglyceride level by:

exercising and losing weight if you are overweight

decreasing alcohol use

controlling medical problems that can cause high triglyceride levels (such as diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism)

stopping or changing medicines that can increase triglyceride levels (such as estrogens, thiazide diuretics, beta blockers)

Answer 3

Get signed up with Web MD and check it out there. Otherwise, call a trusted local phamacy and ask to speak with the Pharmacist, and ask them to print out info. on the Med.--you should have gotten this if you filled the script.

Answer 4

Omacor was given to me whilst in hospital after a heart attack. It is synthesised omega 3 oil. It is also given for hypertriglyceridaemia. It is not fish oil.
