Can I take 50 and Fish oil together?

Why this happens

Sertraline (an SSRI) can affect how platelets in your blood clump together to stop bleeding. Fish oil (omega-3 fatty acids) also has a mild natural blood-thinning effect. Together, they may make your blood take slightly longer to clot.

It is usually fine to take these together, but you should use caution. Watch for signs of unusual bruising, nosebleeds, or gums that bleed more than usual when brushing your teeth. If you are planning to have surgery, tell your doctor or surgeon that you are taking both of these supplements.
