If you are a Doctor in Italy and you don\u2019t prescribe fish oil for your Heart patients it would be considered to be malpractice. I thought that you may be interested in the article below which was just referred to me. It\u2019s quite dated but still relevant.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that Doctors and Cardiologists in Italy have long recognized the importance of prescribing\u00a0fish oil<\/a>\u00a0to their heart patients in preference to the drugs which are commonly prescribed in the US. The article refers to prescription fish oil which is classified as a drug in Italy.<\/p>\n

However, a prescription\u00a0fish oil<\/a>\u00a0is not necessary as they are no purer than the fish oil we produce. It is a pity that the prescribing of fish oil is not common practice in the US as yet as I am sure more people would be alive today if it was.<\/p>\n

\u201cFish oil<\/a>: A heart drug in Europe but not U.S.\u201d By Elisabeth Rosenthal International Herald Tribune Published: October 4, 2006 ROME Fish oil routinely used to treat heart patients in Europe, but not U.S. Cardiologists across Italy and in a few other parts of Europe would consider it malpractice not to give\u00a0heart attack<\/a>\u00a0patients a prescription for purified fish oil, whose active ingredients are two\u00a0Omega-3<\/a>\u00a0fatty acids<\/a>. But in the United States \u2013 and, to a lesser degree, in Britain \u2013\u00a0heart attack<\/a>\u00a0victims do not generally get\u00a0Omega-3<\/a>\u00a0fatty acids<\/a>\u00a0from their doctors, even as they are routinely offered more expensive and invasive treatments.<\/p>\n
