DuetDHA Drug Interactions Explained
The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when
DuetDHA is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
Aspirin (Bayer and Others)
Theoretically, the
omega-3 fatty acids in DuetDHA products may increase the risk of bleeding when combined with aspirin. However, most pregnant women should avoid aspirin. One low-dose aspirin (81 mg) a day, which is sometimes recommended for certain conditions related to pregnancy, should probably not cause any problems.
Bisphosphonate Medications
Some of the minerals in DuetDHA products may decrease the absorption of bisphosphonates into the body. However, bisphosphonates are usually not recommended for pregnant women, so this is not typically a problem. If your healthcare provider recommends that you take both DuetDHA and a bisphosphonate, be sure to take DuetDHA at least two hours after your bisphosphonate dose.
Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics
Some of the minerals in DuetDHA products may prevent fluoroquinolone antibiotics from being absorbed into the body as well as they normally should. If your healthcare provider recommends that you take both DuetDHA and a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, be sure to take the antibiotic at least two hours before, or six hours after, your DuetDHA dose.
Tetracycline Antibiotics
Some of the minerals in DuetDHA products may prevent
tetracycline antibiotics from being absorbed into the body. If your healthcare provider recommends that you take both DuetDHA and a tetracycline antibiotic, be sure to take the antibiotic at least two hours before, or six hours after, your DuetDHA dose. Keep in mind that tetracycline antibiotics are usually not recommended for pregnant women.
