Abstract
The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions containing omega-3 oil and a non-hydrophilic co-solvent that have an increased absorption rate. The pharmaceutical compositions may further contain one or more pharmaceutical organic molecules. The invention further provides kits containing these pharmaceutical compositions, methods for formulating pharmaceutical compositions containing omega-3 oil, and methods for decreasing the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease, decreasing triglyceride or LDL cholesterol levels, decreasing pain or inflammation, treating diabetes, chronic pulmonary diseases, or irritable bowel syndrome, decreasing symptoms of an autoimmune disease or allergic conditions.
