User Reviews for Lovaza oral

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

I suffered extreme dryness of the skin where it was hard for me to put slacks on. Since starting Lovaza my skin shows no dryness whatsoever I am very happy with the results

I need to know exactly how much Omega-3 is in each Lovaza capsule

only problem is the size of the pill, very large and not always easy to swallow

vary dizzy

I have taken this medicine 3 days. I've had chronic burping, nausea, vomiting, diaherea, stomach pain, light headness, headache, body chills, tireness and sleepness. I have an appointment with my doctor in two days, but have decided not to take any more of these pills.

I was told to take fish oil capsules and I cannot stand the taste or smell of fish, so my Dr. prescribed Lovaza, it has worked well decreasing my tg's with no side effects whatsoever.

I have Sjoren's Syndrome and my eye Dr priscribed this for me even after I told him I did NOT have high-triglyceride.My Sjoren was caused from me getting the WRONG medication:METHROTREXATE 7 years ago but just got diagnosed.Warning! LOVAZA is processed using ATENOL which is TOXIC to the LIVER!!! SO after finding THIS out I was glad I did my research so I NEVER TOOK this meds;Once BITTEN by METHROTREXATE,TWICE SHY. The truth is, ALL THESE DISEASES ARE JUST "ONE PROBLEM"-"AUTOIMMUNE DIFFICIENCY";SO IF WE WANT OPTIMUM HEALTH LET'S JUST EAT NATRUAL FOOD FROM MOTHER NATRUE THE WAY GOD HAD INTENDED.Read More Read Less

Only taking one a day as at 2 after a long walk my hands were swollen and I read this can do it so I just cut back to half of what is prescribed. I did experience pain in the gut right below the left rig cage but I'm not sure this med caused it. I didn't experience and lethargy at all.

Lethargic, sleepy, joint pains, dry mouth

does lovaza cause unsteady gate

Cholesterol at 200 doc put me on 4 a day Lovaza (1GM). Hubby has been on it for 4 months and NO difference! His Doc now wants to put him on a statin. I'm scratching my head at this. Hubby's good cholestrol is very good and bad is 125. Are we missing something here?

Controlling Trigs was always difficult for me given my penchant for Carbs. After taking Lovazza for two years my Trigs. have come down to 75 or thereabout.

Started this medicine about 3 months ago, complained to doctor about pains in chest was told to lower dosage, and this medicine isn't the cause of my pain, continued medicine pain has progressed went back to doc had an ekg and chest xray everything is fine. Decided to go an check side effects on internet and chest pains was considered a very serious problem. Stopped taking now 3 days and my chest pains have gone away. Very disappointed in my doctors knowledge, and the print out you get from the pharmacy. There is no info about severe side effects just basic ones. To I never get headaches and I was getting them daily to the point I would go to sleep with it and wake up with one. Now I want to find out if any damage has been done. For now on I will check into all prescription given to me just to be aware of all signs my body is going thru!Read More Read Less

Paid a fortune for it hubs began taking it, almost the next day I noticed he was becoming moody, then set in diarrhea, bloating, back pain, migraine, fatigue, coughing up blood, he was so lethargic he just wanted to sleep, he couldn't even eat, so I called my sister (pharmacy tech) and did some research online and immediately made him stop taking Lovaza, by the next morning he was better, today Tues he is almost back to normal (thank God) I am more than disgusted that no one told us anything and if I hadn't had the presence of mind to figure out that it was the Lovaza I shudder to think what could have happened if he kept taking it. This can be a VERY dangerous drugRead More Read Less

I have been on this drug for more than 2 years. It has drastically reduced my triglycerides. On occasion I had a fishy taste but solved that by taking a cinnamon capsule with each Lovaza. Works great. Dr. said that was a good idea and was going to pass that suggestion on to other patients. My insurance company raised my copay to $95 per quarter. I would switch to OTC fish oil, but they do not work as good.

I have taken this drug for almost a year. Not much change in blood work. Also, I was having a lot of bloating, burping, taste problems and feeling just plain awful. Finally a week or so ago I decided to see if my problems were from the lovaza. I stopped it and with 3 days had no more stomach problems. I also had a lot of problems with bleeding hemmoroids and no longer have that. I would not take this drug again.

I have been taking Lovaza for several years, my triglycerides were through the roof at 1540 (no joke), along with Triglide (Fenofibrate 10 mg) daily drove me down to normal levels in a month. Lovaza is a wonder drug however can also be taken as an over the counter med by way of an OMEGA 3 Fish Oil. I have seen that Costco sells a large bottle of it and the dose is almost as high as RX Lovaza. If you don't have Insurance get yourself on a high dose of Omega 3 Fish oil. The best part of all of this is that my sex drive has increased on these medications. Lovaza lifts your spirit, drive and I no longer will you want to lay around the house all day. Good Luck!
