Hypersensitivity

Liver disease: Fish oil might increase the risk of bleeding.

Side effects of Salmon Oil : High doses of fish oil might also reduce the immune system’s activity, reducing the body’s ability to fight infection. This is a special concern for people taking medications to reduce their immune system’s activity (organ transplant patients, for example) and the elderly. Fish oil can cause side effects including belching, bad breath, heartburn, nausea, loose stools, rash, and nosebleeds. Taking fish oil supplements with meals or freezing them can often decrease these side effects. Fish or seafood allergy: Some people who are allergic to seafood such as fish might also be allergic to fish oil supplements. There is no reliable information showing how likely people with seafood allergy are to have an allergic reaction to fish oil; however, until more is known advise patients allergic to seafood to avoid or use fish oil supplements cautiously. Bipolar disorder: Taking fish oil might increase some of the symptoms of this condition. Depression: Taking fish oil might increase some of the symptoms of this condition. Diabetes: There is some concern that taking high doses of fish oil might make the control of blood sugar more difficult. High blood pressure: Fish oil can lower blood pressure and might cause blood pressure to drop too low in people who are being treated with blood pressure-lowering medications. HIV/AIDS and other conditions in which the immune system response is lowered: Higher doses of fish oil can lower the body’s immune system response. This could be a problem for people whose immune system is already weak. Familial adenomatous polyposis: There is some concern that fish oil might further increase the risk of getting cancer in people with this condition.
