Tips for staying on LOVAZA
Remember to Take LOVAZA
It's important that you take your prescribed dose of LOVAZA every day. Make sure you follow your doctor's dosing instructions.
Continue taking LOVAZA as prescribed by your doctor, even as you see your triglyceride number dropping. A lower triglyceride level shows you that LOVAZA may be working. Missing a dose or not refilling your prescription may make it more difficult to reach your triglyceride goal. That's why it is important to stay on your treatment.
Ask your doctor about your treatment goals, and how LOVAZA can continue to help you manage your very high triglyceride level, even as it starts to come down.
