Frequently Asked Question

Are there side-effects to my child taking Omega 3?

Currently, there are no reported side-effects. However, you should always read the product label carefully and completely.

Before taking Omega-3 Fatty Acid make sure that you consult your doctor or pharmacist:

  • if you are pregnant, trying for a baby or breast-feeding
  • if you suffer from bleeding disorders or are taking an anticoagulant medicine
  • if you suffer from diabetes
  • if you have asthma which gets worse if you take aspirin
  • if you have ever had an allergic reaction to this or any other medicine
  • if you are taking other medicines

Before having any kind of surgery, including dental or emergency treatment, tell the doctor, dentist or surgeon you are taking Omega-3 Fatty Acid. This is because Omega 3 Fatty Acids have a natural blood thinning effect.
