Can I take these flaxseed oil capsules if I am currently on blood-thinning medication or preparing for surgery? — BIOKONTUR LINESEED OIL OMEGA-3 CAPSULES N60 - POLARIS (лняное масло omega-3)

Yes, caution is required. The product information explicitly advises consulting a doctor or pharmacist before starting flaxseed oil capsules if you are taking blood-thinning medication or preparing for surgery. This is because omega-3 fatty acids, including alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) found in flaxseed, can have mild anticoagulant effects. Combining them with prescription blood thinners may increase the risk of bleeding. Additionally, supplements are typically stopped before scheduled surgeries to avoid complications during the procedure. If you have any chronic conditions or are on regular medication, professional medical advice is essential to ensure safety.
