Are Omacor capsules suitable for me?

In certain situations, Omacor capsules should be used with caution or may not be recommended at all. This will apply to people who are at a low risk of developing heart problems in the future or whose triglyceride levels are normal, people under 18 or over 70 years of age, women who are pregnant (or likely to become pregnant) or breastfeeding, people with liver problems, and people who are allergic to any of the active or inactive ingredients.

If you are currently taking any other medicines, the online doctor will need to know about them – whether they’re from your doctor or pharmacy-bought. Omacor capsules have been known to cause problems if taken with certain other medicines, including warfarin and other anticoagulants, so we’ll need this information from the outset.

Be sure to provide the doctor with a full picture of your general health in the consultation, so you can be assessed on your individual risk of heart problems in the future, and the safety of statin treatment for you.

Take the capsules with water. You may take the capsules at meal times to help reduce gastrointestinal side effects. The duration of treatment will be decided by your doctor.

Use in children
