Adult dose

This medication must be preceded by appropriate lipid-lowering dietary therapy, which should continue throughout the treatment period. Take with meals. For treatment of hypertriglyceridemia, the initial dose is 2g per day, and it can be increased to 4g per day if necessary. Administer once or twice a day.

This drug should not be used by those with hypersensitivity to its ingredients or by children under 18 years of age. Caution is needed when administering this drug to patients at high risk of bleeding due to severe trauma or surgery, patients with poor liver function, and individuals with fish allergies. Various side effects may occur, including dyspepsia, headache, dizziness, and skin rashes, and some patients may experience worsening symptoms to the point where they need to discontinue the medication. Before starting treatment, it is essential to check blood triglyceride levels through blood tests, and to maintain a combined regimen of dietary therapy and exercise. Periodic blood tests during treatment are necessary to monitor the effectiveness and side effects of the drug, and the medication can be stopped if it is ineffective. This drug may slightly prolong bleeding time, so if taken with anticoagulants or aspirin, careful monitoring of bleeding risk is required. Pregnant women should use it only when necessary, considering its potential effects on the fetus, while nursing mothers should use it cautiously. Elderly patients show similar safety as general adults but need special attention based on their individual condition. In case of overdose, there are no specific antidotes, so treatment and supportive therapy according to symptoms are needed. This drug is not recommended for children as its safety and efficacy have not been established. When storing the medication, keep it out of reach of children and avoid transferring it to another container.
