Expert advice for Omega-3 fatty acid

Omega-3 fatty acid is used along with other medicines to lower the level of triglycerides (fat) in adults. It should be taken in addition to regular exercise and low-fat diet.
It also reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Take it with food to avoid an upset stomach. Do not break, crush, dissolve, or chew the capsule.
Your doctor may get regular blood tests done to monitor your triglyceride, bad cholesterol and liver function levels while you take this medicine.
Inform your doctor if you have diabetes, problems with your pancreas, liver, thyroid or if you are allergic to fish.
