Mrs D.,

Lovaza was prescribed by my heart doctor. It is the only FDA approved fish oil. Dollars and competition are the very least of my worries although some people may take issue with it. I simply don't. I tried regular fish oil capsules and the kind or type that was recommended by my GP a long time ago. They didn't help and I belched all the time. With Lovaza I don't have that problem. Quite frankly I am glad my insurance covers it...less money out of my pocket or searching and spending dollars on something that may or may not help.
