A member asked:

Can omega 3 fish oil tablets make nexplanon birthcontrol less effective?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Taking a typical daily dose of omega-3 fish oil supplements should have no noticeable effect on Nexplanon or other contraceptive implants. A usual daily dose of omega-3 supplements also would not alter the effectiveness of hormonal birth control pills or IUDs.
