Omacor

You should take Omacor as directed by your healthcare provider. The typical dosage is 1 capsule daily with a meal. Remember to swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water; do not break or chew it. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, contact your doctor immediately.

Each Omacor capsule contains 1 gram of omega-3-acid ethyl esters, which is equivalent to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The capsule shell contains gelatin, glycerol, and purified water. Omacor also contains the excipients tocopherol (E307), as well as refined and deodorized fish oil.

Common side effects of Omacor may include belching, indigestion, and a fishy aftertaste. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include severe allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical help right away.

Before taking Omacor, inform your doctor if you have allergies to fish or shellfish. Also, let your doctor know about any medical conditions you have, especially if you have liver disease or diabetes. Omacor may not be suitable for everyone, so it's important to disclose your full medical history and all medications you are taking. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using Omacor. If you have any concerns or questions about taking Omacor, talk to your doctor for personalized advice.
