C10AX06 • omega-3-ethyl esters 90 • Cardiovascular system | Lipid modifying agents, plain | Other lipid modifying agents
Omega-3 acid ethyl esters 90 is a medication used to reduce high blood triglyceride levels (hypertriglyceridemia), particularly in patients at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It contains omega-3 fatty acids, primarily eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in the form of ethyl esters.
The medication is typically administered as soft gel capsules and is recommended as part of a regimen that includes a low-fat diet and regular exercise. Omega-3 acid ethyl esters 90 helps lower triglycerides by reducing their synthesis in the liver.
Common side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort. Occasionally, patients may experience an unpleasant taste in the mouth or reflux. It is important for patients to inform their doctor about any other medications they are taking, as omega-3 acid ethyl esters may interact with anticoagulants, increasing the risk of bleeding.
Omega-3 acid ethyl esters 90 is not recommended for patients with allergies to fish or shellfish.
