User Reviews for Lovaza oral

Stoped taking drug a week before prostate surgery for cancer and never resumed after learning of possible connection with prostate cancer. Had taken drug during entire time that my PSA's went higher and higher, biopsies from negative to suspicious to bingo. It did a very good job of reducing triglyceride level.

in thirty days my tryglicerides went from 597 to 187. WOW! i also take Tricor which did not make a dent in my number. I have no side effects with this med either.

Terrible drug. My LDL levels and blood pressure were at healthy levels before taking this drug. Have stopped taking it.

Been taking four 1gm capsules every month for years. Side effect is no arthritic pain because it also acts as anti-inflammatory.

Lovaza has helped me lower my triglycerides over the years,Great product!!

My Triglyceride level was 1770 when I started taking Lovaza. Three years later it is 74 (yes, 74)! For me a bonus is a huge jump in my HDL and drop in my LDL too! Not a common experience but great b/c I cannot take statins or lopid. Main side-effect has been burping and things taste weird a few hours after I take it. I use an opioid for pain I have due to chronic pancreatitis, and the side-effect from Lovaza that causes loose-stools in some combats the constipation from the opioid treatment. Major issues are the size of the gels (I take all 4gm in one dose to get it over with), and the cost. But I remind myself that OTC omega-3's may or may not have the amount and ratio of EPA/DHA claimed or any at all.Read More Read Less

Why would any DR. or patient continue to take Lovaza when a far superior medication can be taken. Vascepa from Amarin Corp is pure EPA. It does not contain DHA which raises your LDL cholesterol. It does not have the A-Fib warning like lovaza either. It does not result in fish burps. Your Dr. is probably getting a kickback to prescribe an inferior product. Talk to your DR>

First 3 months, fine, triglycerides count went down, but then started to have excessive burping and difficulty swallowing,Dr. said stop taking it. Quit about three weeks ago but condition continues. Waiting to see Dr. to proc

First blood test after initial treatment very positive, waiting to see the next lab test,still taking four per day as prescribed.

control of high triglycerides

Lovaza has helped control blood glucose readings. The only negative side effect is chronic diarrhea with remnants of other medications floating in the floating oils.

I am experiencing severe itching and rash on my arms. My eyes are itchy and burning constantly. Seems to be getting progressively worse. I have eliminated everything I can think of.... now down to Lovaza. I have seen two different physicans; neither mentioned my symptoms as possible side effects of this drug.

Have been taking for years

Now that I have switched over to Vascepa everything seems better. No more fish burps and my trig are lower and my hdl has gone up. joint pain is better because of the anti-inflammatory impact of Vascepa.

bruising on arms...very bad..looks like blood clots under my skin... if I accidently bang my arm it bleeds very bad... I have shown this to doctors and they claim it is called thin skin..I also take plavix... can these two medications combined are causing this terrible problem

I have been on this drug for 4 months now and I am noticing changes in my body. I am having joint pains to the point that I can hardly walk. My scalp has developed blisters, and diaherrea
