Resumen

Introducción: Los ácidos grasos poliinsaturados n-3, como el EPA y el DHA, son esenciales durante el embarazo por sus beneficios para la salud materna y el desarrollo fetal. En mujeres embarazadas con deficiencia de omega-3, es crucial evaluar la tolerabilidad, aceptabilidad y posibles efectos secundarios para optimizar la adherencia al tratamiento. Objetivo: Determinar la tolerabilidad y los principales efectos colaterales en un grupo de embarazadas con ingesta deficiente de pescado en una comunidad rural. Material y métodos: Se realizó una encuesta nutricional en un grupo de embarazadas que asistían a su control prenatal a una institución privada de Ginecoobstetricia para investigar la necesidad de suplementación con omega-3 mediante un cuestionario simplificado en una población de embarazadas. Se prescribieron 2 cápsulas conteniendo EPA 760 mg y DHA 520 mg a partir de las 20 semanas. Se documentó la presencia de efectos colaterales y la adherencia a la prescripción. Resultados: Se encontró un porcentaje de tolerabilidad del 100.0%. Los efectos colaterales fueron náusea 19.2 %, eructos 4.6 %, aliento a pescado 2.3 %, vómito 1.5 % y ningún caso de reacción alérgica. Ninguna paciente abandonó la suplementación. Conclusiones: Los efectos colaterales de los AGPI n-3 en el presente estudio fueron muy bajos, resultando en una excelente adherencia al tratamiento.
