Suggest The Ideal Dosage For Vascepa
Thank you - I am a senior female.. Recent I have been prescribed Vascepa cap 1gm - 2 caps twice daily for high triglycerides (363mg). (3 month supply was $705.00 before insurance!!) Is 4 grams safe or excessive per day? I have stage 2 diabetes, a1c-5.9, cholesterol-224. I do have heart history; recent CRP 3.8mg. I do not want statins. What about levels of Omega 3-6-9...will balance be thrown off. I have lost some trust/faith in medical profession. What s your thoughts. Thankyou YYYY@YYYY
