Cautions
Contraindications
We recommend discontinuing omega-3 intake (including dietary fish oil consumption) at least one (1) week prior to elective surgery. In patients suffering from hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia, large doses of Vitamin D3 should be avoided since it would increase intestinal absorption and renal reabsorption of these 2 elements. For those already allergic to fish, seafood or shellfish, caution is required, as there is a risk of an allergic reaction. At high doses, there would be a risk of arrhythmias by increasing the risk of atrial fibrillation or flutter.
Interactions
Although we consider this risk to be minimal, in theory, omega-3s could increase bleeding time, thus there is a risk of bleeding or hemorrhage. Consequently, in patients using oral anticoagulants, INR monitoring would be recommended when initiating and stopping treatment. Omega-3s are also said to have a slight antihypertensive effect, so in patients taking antihypertensives, blood pressure may drop slightly. Watch for signs of fatigue, low blood pressure, or headaches following the initiation of omega-3 intake. Taking fish oils with the medication Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune) could cause an increase in side effects from cyclosporine. If you are taking prescription medication, and you have any doubts, check with your pharmacist if they are compatible with this product (Omega-3) before consuming.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Recent studies would show that the use of omega-3 dietary supplements would have beneficial effects in pregnancy, as long as it serves to further achieve an adequate nutritional intake, therefore according to the patient's diet. There are no contraindications during breastfeeding (*8)
