Should be . . .: Congrats on deciding to exercise! in general, dietary supplements like fish oil aren't manufactured under 3rd party oversight, so there's the possibility of contamination but that risk exists w/everything. Without knowing your exact drug regimen, it's impossible to look for drug interactions on online.Epocrates.Com & drugs.Com. Ask your pharmacist & prescribing doctor but in general, should be ok.
