Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 I have probably missed this information posted on this message board at sometime, but I was wondering if, It is OK to take fish oil, if I take aspirin and Toprol XL and bp meds? I know that fish oil is so good for the heart, but wonder if it is to much thinning with the aspirin. I won't see my cardio for another month, and would like to start with the fish oil sooner. Any comments? Mandy of CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of which have anti-coagulant effects... but I don't take coumadin. My doctor is aware and allows this, but I would be hesitant to mix these with coumadin without more information.
