Message definition (Omega-3 acid ethyl esters)
<!-- Definition and medical uses -->
'''Omega-3-acid ethyl esters''' are a mixture of [[ethyl eicosapentaenoic acid]] and [[ethyl docosahexaenoic acid]], which are ethyl esters of the [[omega-3 fatty acids]] [[eicosapentaenoic acid]] (EPA) and [[docosahexaenoic acid]] (DHA) found in [[fish oil]]. Together with dietary changes, they are used to treat [[hypertriglyceridemia|high blood triglycerides]] which may reduce the risk of [[pancreatitis]]. They are generally less preferred than [[statin]]s, and use is not recommended by [[NHS Scotland]] as the evidence does not support a decreased risk of [[heart disease]].
