Another Fish Oil Question

I know it is probably in the various forums somewhere but I am new to the forums and haven't had a chance to look through all of them yet. My questions are:

1. Can you use fish oil with medication or do you have you use one or another? 2. Is there any type of medicine that it may not be safe to use fish oil with?

Fish Oil Question

Yes, you can take fish oil supplements along with medication. My husband, daughter and I all do that. I don't personally see any difference in my ADD with the fish oil but perhaps there is a small benefit that I don't notice. I take the fish oil for several reasons--it's good for your heart and cholesterol, it may help with ADD and it may help with Alzheimers' although I don't think there is any conclusive evidence on that. I don't eat much fish so I thought it would be good for me to take.

I don't know of any interactions with any particular medications. It is like taking a vitamin or mineral supplement. If you are concerned about a possible interaction with some medications, just ask your pharmacist.

Hi there:

Welcome to the ADDitude forums! Yes, fish oil is safe to use with medication. I would recommend reading a few of ADDitude's best (short) articles about fish oil and downloading this free printable.
