User Reviews for Lovaza oral

I started on Lovaza 3 months ago; and have had pretty good results...I can not take Cholesterol medicines; and this drug has lowered my cholesterol by 40 points in 3 months..my circulation is alot better..Hair; nails and skin are very smooth and healthy looking..Only side effect sometimes is nausea and dizziness..but not everyday...Its worth taking to lower levels without using any Stanton drugs. I couldn't even take Zetia; so my doctor tried this and so far we are seeing results....I do have some cramping at times..but it passes..I reccommend this to anyone with high levels of anything..and especially any circulation problems...Read More Read Less

Very strong family history of heart disease my triglycerides were 450 taking lovaza 1gm 2 twice daily for 4 mo., will recheck chol' tomorrow, have lost weight sinc being on this med, i do have severe diarrhea, up to 3-5 times daily: but i thought it was related to the glucophage, because i started these 2 meds about 1-2 weeks from each other, will turn 35 this mo., i do have good ins., but it wouldn't matter, how wxpensive it was as long as i works!

I took two doses of the product be fore realizing what was causing my symptoms. I had dizziness and severe vomiting, and body aches. It was like having the intestinal flu.

caused extreme gassiness, abdominal bloating, body aches---i had to discontinue

Before you make any change ask your Doc. I wrote before I was going to try wal-mart fish oil. I did my test with 4 1gm lovaza saw a drop from 800s to 300s. I took 1 1gm lovaza and 3-1200mg Nature made fish oil 1200mg with same diet, for 30 days got the test results today 375. Doc said see lovaza did it. Then I told him about the switch, he cleared his throat and said "You have come a long way with diet." He also said "Lets see next month." Will post in 30days again. I have made many changes in lifestyle and diet. Please ask your Doc. if its okay. I have Diabetes, Back nerve problems, high blood pressure, and kidney problems. My doc and RX bills with insurance are $400 month. I have lost 30lbs, quit smoking and beer. Salad is no longer a dirty word. We all are differant. I just wanted to share this.

Very expensive, waiting for a generic

one of the main problems I am having is alot of bloating and severe diarehha. Does anyone have this problem?

I was in the 800s now low 300s. Very expensive 4 1gm capsules a day. $2.00 per day. I'm thinking of subbing some wal-mart brand otc fish oil.

Flu-like systoms, with fever and flushing increasing dailyfor six weeks.Sixth week brought on a painful sore throat.

Trig went from low 400 to 165 in one month, while on beta blocker (which artifically increased my trig. Overall no side effects and I believe a good medication.

Triglycerides dropped from 300+ to 140. Awesome results, but expensive for me. $50.00 for a month supply(4 a day).

I have to take 4 a day two a lunch and 2 at dinner. remembering to take them is the problem.

I took one dose, 4 pills, as directed by my doctor. I had abdominal bloating and extreme gassiness, extreme heartburn with a horrible taste in my mouth. Also, experienced vomiting and diarrhea. All of this from one dose of Lovaza. I felt sick for days afterward.

Excellent -- my doctor added Lovaza to Lipitor and suggested dietary changes, and my triglyceride levels dropped amazingly in just 6 months. My doctor pronounced the results "excellent." Easy to take, no side effects noted, all natural, highly effective.

my triglycerides drop from 600+ to 320

the medication worked for me for a couple of years. Now it seems it is not working and my tryglicirides are up again and I'm going to my cardiologist to see what can be done.

Finally, something is working for my life long battle with Triglycerides. I take 3/day, and sometimes miss a dose. My fault.

my husbands triglyceride level was 800 when he started this medication 6 months ago. he had lab work done last week and his triglyceride level is now **1900** this drug is definately not working. he takes two huge tablets two times a day. now what?

After taking just one pill I got an all over body rash and swollen throat, and I am not allergic to fish. This is an awful reaction and I am now on prednisone to reduce this reaction.

My triglycerides count was at 440. After taking Lovasa it has gone down to 340. I have had no side effects. I also take Niaspan and Lipitor
