I would like to know if I can take omega-3 if I take Synthroid. Also, what is the interval between the 2 and what is the best brand? Thank you

Hello Madam,You can take both Synthroid and Omega-3 without any problem. There is no time limit between taking each. They can even be taken at the same time!As for the best brand, no study has shown the superiority of one product over another. Instead, you need to look at the source of the omega-3s as well as their content. For what indication do you want to take these supplements?

Thank you for these details. It is true that people who do not consume 2 servings of "fatty" fish per week can be recommended to take a fish oil supplement. As for the effect on cholesterol, it is not very effective. In fact, fish oil supplements mainly reduce triglycerides, which is not really the same thing as the total cholesterol you mentioned. So you could try the supplements, and if you have any side effects, you could stop them. What do you think?

Often the problem is difficulty digesting these supplements. Some people also have difficulty with the fishy taste found with some products. You will see quite quickly if this is your case.Good day's end,Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
