LOVAZA Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is LOVAZA?
LOVAZA is the brand name for omega-3-acid ethyl esters and is available as an oral capsule.
What dosages is LOVAZA available in?

What is LOVAZA used for?
LOVAZA is an antilipemic that is used as an add-on to diet for the treatment of high triglycerides (TG) in adults with TG levels greater than 500 mg/dL.
How does LOVAZA work?
LOVAZA is made up of two different omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). How they work to lower triglycerides isn’t well-understood. But it’s thought they block certain processes that make and transport TG throughout the body.

You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you.
