Hi to anyone who knows the answer to this one.
He's having a tooth pulled next week and he was told to go off of Plavix and aspirin for 7 days. He just asked me if he could still take his Omege 3 fish oil supplement. I said "I believe that fish oil is also a kind of blood thinner" but what do I know!!!! So I'm coming here and asking the experts. So if anyone thinks that Alan should also stop taking the Omege 3 for the next 7 days prior to having a tooth pulled, please let me know, okay? thanks much Melody

Alan has had aggressive anti clotting drugs for a long time. The contribution of the fish oil is less, but added to the others, it might be more. Fish oil is NOT a drug. It is a food. So going without for a short time is NOT a hardship. Better safe than sorry! No loss by going off the fish oil, or stopping eating fish for a short time. He should be in a good place for healing. Vit C and some zinc will speed recovery. High dose Vit E if he uses that should also be stopped.

Yep. Stop it. My fish oil bottle says it has to be stopped if having surgery... removing a tooth is like a surgery right ?
Yeah, he must stop taking it |

I've been told by a few people that Fish Oil might influence bleeding time...and could cause a person prone to bleeding to bleed more.
I agree with Mrs. D...staying off Fish Oil for a week, should not be a problem health wise and might have a little benefit in terms of bleeding. It sounds like a wise move. |
