What is Omega-3-Acid Ethyl Esters 90?
Omega-3-acid ethyl esters, the active ingredient in Olevia, is a lipid‑based omega‑3 fatty acid preparation presented as a prescription oil for oral use. It is used to lower markedly elevated triglyceride concentrations in adults with severe hypertriglyceridaemia and related lipid disorders.
GNH USA supplies Olevia as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.
What is Omega-3-Acid Ethyl Esters 90 used for?
Olevia, an omega‑3 ethyl ester medication, is indicated for disorders of triglyceride metabolism.
- Severe hypertriglyceridaemia: reduces fasting triglyceride levels to lower the risk of pancreatitis. - Familial chylomicronaemia syndrome: lowers triglycerides in patients with this genetic disorder. - Mixed dyslipidaemia (adjunct to diet and statins): helps improve overall lipid profile when combined with standard therapy.
What are the side effects of Omega-3-Acid Ethyl Esters 90?
Adverse reactions have been reported with Olevia and are categorised by frequency.
Common Side Effects: - Indigestion: mild gastrointestinal discomfort after dosing. - Nausea: occasional feeling of queasiness. - Diarrhoea: loose stools in some patients. - Fishy aftertaste: detectable taste after ingestion. - Headache: transient cranial discomfort. - Elevated liver enzymes: mild increases in ALT/AST.
Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Pancreatitis: inflammation of the pancreas, potentially life‑threatening. - Atrial fibrillation: irregular heart rhythm observed in rare cases. - Bleeding tendency: increased risk of hemorrhage, especially with anticoagulants. - Allergic reactions: rash, angioedema, or anaphylaxis in hypersensitive individuals.
What precautions apply to Omega-3-Acid Ethyl Esters 90?
When prescribing Olevia, clinicians should observe several safety measures.
- Assess baseline triglyceride levels: obtain fasting measurements before initiation. - Monitor liver function: periodic ALT/AST testing is recommended. - Consider bleeding risk: evaluate concomitant anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy. - Avoid in patients with fish oil allergy: discontinue if hypersensitivity occurs. - Pregnancy and lactation: use only if the therapeutic benefit outweighs potential risks. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and light.
What does Omega-3-Acid Ethyl Esters 90 interact with?
Omega-3-acid ethyl esters may interact with several drug classes.
Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (warfarin, DOACs): increased bleeding risk. - Antiplatelet agents (aspirin, clopidogrel): additive antithrombotic effect. - High‑dose vitamin E: may potentiate anticoagulant activity.
Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Statins: possible elevation of liver enzymes; monitor hepatic function. - Fibrates: additive triglyceride‑lowering effect; watch for myopathy. - Cyclosporine: may raise omega‑3 levels; monitor renal function and drug concentrations.
