Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Lori, I was doing a search on this site for more info on Omega 3's and popped with your note here. I've never heard of this drug. My boyfriend has very high triglycerides. I've zoomed down 25 points on my cholesterol just taking flaxseed and low dose Niacin. But his numbers were at 400 LDL and 1200 Triglycerides and he is now having liver problems on the Statins. So, we'll check it out. Thanks! for the FYI.
