Can I Take multivitamin and fish oil Together?

SUMMARY:

In most cases a standard multivitamin and fish oil (omega‑3) can be taken together without a clinically significant interaction. Extra caution is advised for people on blood thinners, with bleeding disorders, or taking high‑dose vitamin supplements (e.g., high‑dose vitamin K or vitamin E).

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

- Fish oil (omega‑3) can have mild antiplatelet effects and may increase bleeding risk when combined with anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs. - Some multivitamins contain vitamin K (can affect warfarin) or high doses of vitamin E (may also affect bleeding); check the specific product labels. - Common side effects from combining these are usually minor (e.g., GI upset, fishy aftertaste). - If you are taking prescription anticoagulants/antiplatelets, have a bleeding disorder, or are on high‑dose supplements, consult a healthcare provider before combining. - Confirm exact ingredients and doses with your pharmacist or clinician for personalized advice.
