Who should not take this product without consulting a doctor? — Mega Omega-3, 90 capsules (EPA/DHA 300 mg + Vitamin E) - Herbin

HERBIN Mega Omega 3 is a food supplement, not a medicine; however, fish oil interacts with certain conditions and medicines, so in certain situations consulting a specialist is essential.

Taking medicines. If you take anticoagulants (warfarin, heparin, newer oral anticoagulants) or medicines that affect platelets, discuss the supplement with your doctor before you start taking it. Fish oil in high doses can enhance their effect.

Upcoming procedures or surgery. Before planned surgery or invasive procedures, tell your doctor that you are taking any fish oil supplements.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding. Omega-3s are important during this period, but the dose and source should be agreed with a midwife or GP — not all supplements are equally suitable in these circumstances.

Fish and seafood allergy. The product is made from fish oil, so it is not taken by people with a fish allergy — the label prohibits use in case of allergy to any of the ingredients.

The product is not intended for children — it is for adults only. Healthy adults generally tolerate the supplement well when they follow the recommended dose of 1 capsule a day.
