Dew..on fibrates...

Had the opportunity while playing golf yesterday to have a long conversation with a Harvard cardiologist...Naturally we talked about omega-3s...

He himself took omega-3s....just fishoil...not Lovaza...

He did not prescribe fibrates for elevated trigs..but suggested weigh reduction, diet changes, exercise etc..He felt the safety profile and the side effects of fibrates simply did not justify their use particularly since their evidence supporting their value is so tenuous...

He had not heard of Amarin or AMR101...but he was interested...
