Mode of Action
The omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid are long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which compete with arachidonic acid for inclusion in cyclo-oxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways. Their actions include hypolipidaemic action (especially a reduction in plasma triglycerides) by reducing very-low-density lipoproteins; anti-inflammatory action, attributed to effects on leukotriene synthesis; and antiplatelet effect, attributed to effects on prostanoid synthesis, which promote vasodilatation, reduction in platelet aggregation, increased bleeding time and decreased platelet counts.
Precaution
Haemorrhagic disorders or those receiving anticoagulants or other drugs that have antithrombotic activity; asthmatic patients sensitive to aspirin. Monitor hepatic function in patients with hepatic impairment, especially if receiving high doses.
Lactation: Not known if excreted in breast milk; use caution
