GSK kicks Lovaza and would be Generic Lovaza square in the nuts!

"New Website"


LOVAZA may cause serious side effects including increases in:

-results of blood tests to check your liver function (ALT and AST) and your bad cholesterol levels (LDL-C)

-frequency of a heart rhythm problem (atrial fibrillation or flutter) that may especially happen in the first few months of taking LOVAZA if you already have that problem.

"Serious side effects" of raising your LDL....

Looks like positioning for an offer...letting supplies dwindle and bad mouthing own drug.

Is there anything here that actually tries to sell you Lovaza?


Vascepa yes, Lovaza...not so much:

Q: What should my target triglyceride level be?
A:
You should work with your doctor to set your personal triglyceride goal. The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Guidelines for Triglycerides consider less than 150 mg/dL to be a normal triglyceride level.

Before you begin treatment, it's important to continue making healthy diet choices, as well as to know your current triglyceride level and what your doctor’s triglyceride goal is for you. You may also find it helpful to track your progress toward your triglyceride goal throughout treatment and maintain a low fat and low cholesterol diet.

Q: How will I know LOVAZA is working?
A:
Be sure to schedule regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor your triglyceride levels and track your progress.

In some patients, LDL (bad) cholesterol levels may increase when taking LOVAZA. Your healthcare provider should do blood tests before and during treatment to check your cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Q: Will LOVAZA raise my LDL (bad) cholesterol levels?
A:
In some patients, LDL cholesterol may increase. As LOVAZA works to reduce triglyceride levels, LDL cholesterol levels may increase. It’s important that your doctor gives you regular blood tests before and during treatment.

Q: Can LOVAZA have any serious side effects?
A:
LOVAZA may cause serious side effects including:
increases in the results of blood tests used to check your liver function (ALT and AST) and your bad cholesterol levels (LDL-C)
increases in the frequency of a heart rhythm problem (atrial fibrillation or flutter) may especially happen in the first few months of taking LOVAZA if you already have that problem
