MEGAZA CAPSULE belongs to a class of medications called ‘nutritional supplements used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It primarily treats, improves, controls, and prevents various complications or long-term diseases such as heart, brain, and spinal cord disorders, kidney, skin, respiratory, hormonal, cancer, and immune system problems.

MEGAZA CAPSULE combines two medicines: Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). DHA and EPA are omega-3 fatty acids. They can lower cholesterol levels, fight against inflammation, improve cognitive symptoms (memory, learning, and thinking abilities), improve mood and behaviour, and prevent blood clot formation. They can collectively help to treat and control various illnesses.

MEGAZA CAPSULE is available in the form of capsules/tablets and infusion. You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of MEGAZA CAPSULE are nausea (feeling sick), vomiting (being sick), abdominal distension, pain, constipation, diarrhoea, dyspepsia (indigestion), gas, belching, and heartburn. These side effects are usually temporary and don’t require medical attention. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.

Do not take MEGAZA CAPSULE if you are allergic to any contents present in it or fish oils. Before taking MEGAZA CAPSULE, inform your doctor if you have bleeding disorders, diabetes, hypotension (low blood pressure), aspirin sensitivity, arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), undergone surgery recently,  trauma recently, and liver or kidney diseases. Inform your doctor if you are taking blood pressure-lowering medications or blood thinners. Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

MEGAZA CAPSULE combines two medicines: Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). DHA and EPA are omega-3 fatty acids. They can reduce triglyceride levels and increase the body's high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol) levels. This effect helps in reducing the risk of heart disease. They also have anticoagulant (decrease blood clotting) and anti-inflammatory (treat inflammation) properties. They also help improve cognitive symptoms (learning and thinking abilities), especially in patients with brain disorders. Together, MEGAZA CAPSULE helps to fight against various neurological diseases, heart diseases, hormonal disorders, skin problems, respiratory illnesses and cancer.

MEGAZA CAPSULE might affect liver function. So, your doctor may perform blood tests while using MEGAZA CAPSULE to evaluate liver function. Inform your doctor if you recently had surgery or trauma, as the MEGAZA CAPSULE may increase bleeding risk. Do not take more than recommended doses (also consider dietary intake of DHA and EPA) as it might lead to a decrease in blood pressure, an increase in the risk of bleeding, and an increase in blood sugar levels.

Drug-Drug Interactions: MEGAZA CAPSULE may interact with blood thinners (warfarin, clopidogrel, and aspirin) and slow down blood clotting. This medicine may also interact with medicines used to treat high blood pressure (captopril, enalapril, losartan, and valsartan, etc.).

Nutritional deficiencies: A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. Many nutrients are essential for a healthy life. Sometimes your body cannot absorb many nutrients even if you consume them. If left untreated, nutrient deficiency can lead to many health problems or worsen existing health problems such as a weakened immune system, skin problems, heart problems, kidney diseases, respiratory illnesses, or neurological diseases.
