Does birth control inhibit the absorption of fish oil? i'm taking loestrinfe and i take fish oil everyday

Maybe.: There is some evidence to suggest that combination ocps can prevent fish oil from decreasing triglyceride levels, so if you're taking fish oil for high triglyceride levels, then you can speak with your doctor about another form of birth control. Best wishes.
