A member asked:
Can previous mi pt take fish oil if on blood thinners? also if they have already been taking fish oil how many days does it take til problems start?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Goal: Of therapy after an mi is to bring the LDL down to less than 70. If the tg is too high, you can't even know your ldl. We do give omega-3 for tg, the benefit in later studies show that you have to take at least a dose of the range of 4gm a day. Antiplatelets and bblockers should be continued along with statin to lower LDL and smooth out the arteries.
