Question Lovaza: prescription fish oil

Hi,
Has anyone else seen this? It is advertised on tv now.

Important Safety Information for LOVAZA® (omega-3-acid ethyl esters)


LOVAZA, along with diet, helps to lower very high triglycerides (≥500 mg/dL) in adult patients.

Tell your doctor if you are allergic to fish or shellfish as LOVAZA may not be right for you.

Talk to your doctor about any medical conditions you have and any medications you are taking, especially those that may increase your risk of bleeding. In some patients, LDL-cholesterol levels may increase. Your healthcare provider should do blood tests before and during treatment with LOVAZA to check your cholesterol and
triglyceride levels. If you have liver disease, you may require additional monitoring.

Possible side effects include burping, infection, flu-like symptoms, upset stomach and change in sense of taste.
How supplied: 1-gram capsule.

Lovasa is available now generically in most high end stores.

Did you read the message I sent to your Visitor messages? About Krill oil?

There is even a PubMed paper showing Krill oil for stroke risk.

Dear Mrs. D.
Thank you for the info and links about Krill oil.
I've been buying the past few months because I thought maybe it was less contaminated than fish oil. My health store carries it.
