I am interested in starting to take Omega-3 and was wondering whether there are any drug or vitamin interactions. Also, do I have to take the Fish Oil with a vitamin E supplement?

The Omega-3 polyunsaturates are components of foods and as such not likely to interact with drugs, though it is difficult to be exact since there are so many drugs being launched all the time. If you are taking any drug on the recommendation of a physician it would be wise to inform him or her when next you visit. There are no known interactions with vitamins or minerals. It is a good idea to ensure a good intake of vitamin E if you are going to take an Omega-3 supplement. Fortunately reputable manufacturers all add an adequate level of vitamin E to their products, so you need not take any extra. If the supplement you take does not provide vitamin E, then change it for one that does!
