Epadol Neo 60 capsules — Made in Ukraine — Free Delivery

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids - eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) - are essential fatty acids. the preparation actively affects blood plasma lipids, reducing the level of tg, LDL and LDL. the preparation affects hemostasis and reduces the risk of thrombus formation by affecting the aggregation ability of platelets; moderately lowers hell. The normalization of the blood lipid spectrum also occurs due to a decrease in the synthesis of tg in the liver, since EPA and DHA inhibit the esterification of other fatty acids, as well as by reducing the amount of free fatty acids (the number of peroxisomes of β-oxidation of fatty acids increases) participating in the synthesis of tg. a decrease in the synthesis of tg leads to a decrease in the level of LPONP.

α-Tocopherol is an antioxidant that prevents the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Special instructions

In the case of a moderate increase in bleeding time (when using the preparation in high doses, that is, 4 capsules per day), it is necessary to monitor the condition of patients receiving anticoagulant therapy, and, if necessary, adjust the dose of the anticoagulant accordingly. it is necessary to take into account the possibility of an increase in bleeding time in patients with an increased risk of developing hemorrhages (due to severe trauma, surgery, or other reasons).

In patients with hepatic impairment (especially when taking the preparation in high doses), regular monitoring of liver function (ALT and ASAT) is necessary.

The likelihood of side effects is reduced when the preparation is taken with meals.
