Icos+ 1G Softgel Capsule 7's

Your doctor may prescribe Icos+ 1G Softgel Capsule 7's to treat the following conditions to help lower triglyceride levels, reduce cardiovascular risk, and improve heart health:

• Severe high triglycerides: Reduces very high levels of fats (triglycerides) in the blood in adults.
• Cardiovascular risk reduction: Lowers the risk of serious heart issues, such as heart attacks, strokes, or the need for heart surgery, in adults who have elevated triglyceride levels, take cholesterol-lowering medicines, and have established heart disease or diabetes with other risk factors.

Using Icos+ 1G Softgel Capsule 7's as prescribed helps lower triglyceride levels, protect your heart, and support long-term cardiovascular health. Here are the key benefits you can expect:

• Lowers high triglyceride levels: Helps reduce very high triglyceride levels, supporting healthier blood lipid levels.
• Protects cardiovascular health: Helps lower the risk of serious cardiovascular events, such as heart attack, stroke, and certain heart procedures, in people at high cardiovascular risk.
• Supports comprehensive lipid management: Helps lower triglycerides without increasing LDL ('bad') cholesterol levels, making it an effective addition to your overall cholesterol management plan.

• Icos+ 1G Softgel Capsule 7's can be taken with food or as advised by the doctor.
• It is usually recommended to take twice daily; however, follow your doctor’s advice regarding the dosage and duration.
• Swallow Icos+ 1G Softgel Capsule 7's as a whole with water.
• Do not crush, break or chew it.

• Follow a heart-healthy diet: Choose foods that are low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol to support healthy lipid levels.
• Eat fibre-rich foods: Include vegetables, oats, whole grains, legumes, and other high-fibre foods in your daily meals to help improve your cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
• Limit alcohol intake: Avoid or significantly reduce alcohol consumption, as it can increase triglyceride levels.
• Reduce added sugars: Limit foods and drinks high in simple sugars, such as sweets, desserts, and sugar-sweetened beverages, as they can raise triglyceride levels.
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, such as brisk walking, each week, or follow your doctor's recommendations.

• Inspect before use: Check the capsules before each use. Do not take any capsule that is leaking, damaged, or discoloured.
• Inform your healthcare providers: Tell your dentist and all treating doctors that you are taking Icos+ 1G Softgel Capsule 7's, as it may increase the risk of bleeding during surgical or dental procedures.
• Monitor your heart rhythm: If you have a history of an irregular heartbeat, check your pulse regularly and contact your doctor immediately if you experience palpitations, fluttering, dizziness, or fainting.
• Report allergies: Inform your doctor before starting treatment if you have a known allergy to fish or shellfish.
