Docosa Capsule is used to treat high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) and heart diseases. It may also improve attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) (mental health disorder), reduce the risk of preterm births, reduce the risk of certain cancers, and delay the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (progressive memory loss) in older adults.
Docosa Capsule contains ‘docosahexaenoic acid’, which is an antihyperlipidemic agent. It is an omega-3 fatty acid and can reduce triglyceride levels and increase high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol) levels in the body. This effect helps in reducing the risk of heart disease. It also has anticoagulant (decreases blood clotting) and anti-inflammatory (treats inflammation) properties. It helps in improving brain health and promotes the brain development of an unborn baby when used during pregnancy. It improves learning abilities when used in children.
Take Docosa Capsule as directed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Docosa Capsule are abdominal pain, bloating, nosebleeds, mild diarrhea, fatigue, skin irritation or burning, drowsiness, decrease in platelet count, and vitamin A and D toxicity.
