prescribe generic lovaza until TG < 500 then switch to branded vascepa.

Not bad. I like this. But is this practical in the real world?

1. What if TG was very very high, say 1200 and after Lovaza, it stabilizes at 600, this person is still not eligible for V.

2. How soon does a typical patient return to the doctor for additional blood work? 1 year? If so, they would be stuck with L for at least that year.


What should happen in an ideal world is that Lovaza should be banned, period. If not banned, it should only be prescribed with those with > 500 and no CVD risk. Good luck finding those folks.
