A member asked:

Is it safe to take salmon oil and evening primrose oil together while on birth control pill?

Specializes in Family Medicine

Why would you?: Those supplements are of no benefit, and haven't even been studied adequately for safety. So, don't put anything into your body unless it has proven benefit and safety.
