Capsules) [P]
    How does it work? This
    medicine contains
    omega-3-acid ethyl
    esters, comprising of
    eicosapentaenoic acid
    (EPA) and docosahexaenoic
    acid (DHA). These are
    more commonly known as
    omega-3 fatty acids and
    are also found in oily
    fish. The medicine also
    contains
    alpha-tocopherol,
    otherwise known as
    vitamin E. Omega-3 fatty
    acids are essential fatty
    acids, which means they
    need to be obtained in
    the diet because the body
    cannot produce them. They
    have been shown to have
    various protective
    effects on the heart and
    blood circulation.
    Omega-3 fatty acids
    reduce the production of
    bad fats, called
    triglycerides, in the
    liver. High levels of
    triglycerides can cause
    heart disease and
    inflammation of the
    pancreas (pancreatitis).
    Omega-3 fatty acids also
    decrease the production
    of a substance called
    thromboxane, which is
    one of the chemicals that
    causes platelets to clump
    together and start off
    the process of
    blood-clotting. Reducing
    its production therefore
    reduces the likelihood of
    clots forming within the
    blood vessels, which is
    what can cause heart
    attacks. This medicine
    has been shown to reduce
    the risk of further heart
    attacks and improve
    overall survival in
    people who have had a
    heart attack. It is used
    in combination with
    standard post-heart
    attack medicines, such
    as aspirin,
    beta-blockers, ACE
    inhibitors and
    cholesterol-lowering
    medicines (statins). This
    medicine is also used to
    treat high blood
    triglyceride levels when
    changes to the diet have
    been insufficient to
    acheive this. What is it
    used for? Raised
    triglyceride levels in
    the blood
    (hypertriglyceridaemia)
    Reducing risk of further
    heart attacks and
    improving general
    survival following a
    heart attack Warning!
