Can I take Carbosteine and Omega-3 together?

Why this happens

Carbocisteine works locally in the lungs to thin mucus, while omega-3 is a fatty acid processed by the liver and used by the body for various functions. They do not share the same metabolic pathways or interfere with each other's effects.

What you should do

You can continue taking both as prescribed or directed. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging for each product.

Important precautions

Bleeding disorders or use of blood thinners (e.g., warfarin)

High doses of omega-3 can increase your risk of bleeding. You must be monitored closely if you take anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications.
