Brief Answer:
Omega capsule may enhance anti-platelet effect of aspirin

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear
Welcome to HCM and thanks for query
I understand your concern.

Rarely omega-3 may cause increased bleeding tendency which is also a rare side effect of ecosprin (low dose aspirin). You can take amway salmon omega capsule along with ecospirin under observation of your cardiologist.

But for which purpose you want to take this medicine?
It reduce the risk of heart disease
Promote healthy skin
Reduce the high cholesterol and high triglyceride level
Regularize the blood pressure
Also benefit in diabetic patient.

If it is advised by cardiologist, then you can continue along with ecosprin.

Hope I answered your question.
If you have further questions then I will be happy to help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar

Dear Doctor XXXXXXX
The amway salmon omega has been prescribed by a dietitian and not a doctor, to improve the circulation of blood and also boost the memory, as my mom is 90 years old, and after the operation, she is talking slightly irrelevant sometimes,hence asking. Thanks for your reply. Best regards, Hormuz Tboly
