Comparative Effectiveness of Fish Oil Versus Fenofibrate, Gemfibrozil, and Atorvastatin on Lowering Triglyceride Levels Among HIV-Infected Patients in Routine Clinical Care(November, 2013

Among HIV-infected patients with moderate hypertriglyceridemia in clinical care, fibrate therapy remained the most effective at reducing TG levels. Fish oil had a much more modest impact on TG levels, likely in part because of the frequent use of low doses in the usual care setting. However, when considering risks and benefits, fish oil may be an attractive option for HIV-infected patients with moderately elevated TG, particularly among patients who may not want or tolerate fibrates. Additional studies are needed to further determine the appropriate indications and the lipid-lowering effects of fish oil in HIV-infected patients.

Maybe Vascepa 4g would be a better treatment option?
