The Current Status of Available Omega-3 Formulations and What Pharmacists Need to Know​

by Brooke S. Naegel, 2022 PharmD Candidate, Katherine E. Koss, 2022 PharmD Candidate, LaNea Bartel, 2023 PharmD Candidate 

"It is estimated that 95 million American adults over the age of 20 have total cholesterol levels higher than 200 mg/dL and nearly 29 million American adults have total cholesterol levels higher than 240 mg/dL.1The high number of individuals with hypertriglyceridemia, about 1 in every 4 American adults, has led to an increased interest in omega-3 formulations. Omega-3s have been found to decrease triglyceride levels by 20-50%. This article will discuss the various omega-3 formulations, such as food, over-the-counter (OTCs), and prescription formulations, as well as important counseling points for pharmacists."
