| 5 | to decrease lipid levels | None. | I take 2,000 mg per day and my triglyceride levels typically measure in the 35 to 50 range. | M | 42 | 1 years | 10/6/2008 | 5 | Hypertriglyceridemia | No side effects noted. | My triglycerides was 500. PCP ordered 4 caps a day. TG went down to 250 after a month. The following month, not a whole lot has changed but it was down to 246. Been on Omacor for 4 month so far and haven't seen any SE. Rigth now, my PCP wants me to cut my intake to 2 caps a day, add TriCor 48mg daily, then check lipid profile and LFTs after 3 months of this new regimen. | M | 37 | 4 months | 1/18/2008 | 1 | high triglycerides | Triglycerides where 260 after 80 days on pill up to 262. Developed skin problems all over. Worst on the face, needed to put a cream on twice a day to control. What an expensive waste of money and time. | Had a mole turn to cancer at same time this stuff caused all this skin problem ( may or may not be related). Stopped taking it about 10 days ago and the skin problem is almost gone. | M | 58 | 80 days | 11/17/2007 |
