Evening primrose oil

[Kimenem]

Can this be taken with fish oil (omega 3) and BCP?

Hi Kim, . . you know I take a woman's supplement that includes primrose and omega 3's called Barlean's The Essential Woman Supplement. I get it from Whole Foods. I also take a seperate omega 3 fish oil supplement in addition. It has done wonders for that time of the month bloat feeling that I get. By the way what is BCP?

Birth control pills....

A pharmacist or your primary care provider would be the best resource for discussing interactions of supplements with your prescription medicine

Now that's truly a scary statement

I've never heard of any EFAs (essential fatty acids) interfering with birth control before, but it's always smart to check with a pharmacist. But I take fish oil while on my bc and haven't had any problems. Evening primrose is a great one to help out with PMS too.
