Can I take 75 and Omega together?

Why this happens

Aspirin works by stopping blood cells called platelets from sticking together to form clots. Omega-3 fatty acids also have a mild 'blood-thinning' effect by reducing platelet aggregation. When used together, these two effects add up, making the blood less likely to clot.

It is usually fine to take these together if your doctor has prescribed the aspirin, but you should use caution. Inform your doctor or pharmacist that you are taking both. Watch out for signs of unusual bleeding, such as bleeding gums, nosebleeds, or dark, tar-like stools. If you are scheduled for surgery or dental work, tell your surgeon or dentist that you take both aspirin and omega-3 supplements.
