Diosmin and Fish Oil Triglycerides

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

Why this applies to Fish Oil Triglycerides

Fish Oil Triglycerides falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS — the group Diosmin interacts with.

Theoretically, diosmin may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
A case of spontaneous intraventricular hemorrhage has been reported for a 77-year-old female after 6 weeks of warfarin therapy, despite an international normalized ratio (INR) of only 1.8. The patient had also been taking aspirin and diosmin for several years. Experts speculate that chronic intake of diosmin predisposed the patient to spontaneous intraventricular hemorrhage by inducing chronic microcirculatory hypertension and inhibiting platelet aggregation. The presence of aspirin was also thought to play a role in this event.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist with these two together. Fish oil (including the IV form, Omegaven) can mildly thin the blood and make platelets a little less sticky. Diosmin, a citrus flavonoid used for vein health, may do something similar by nudging platelets and small blood vessels. Stack them and you could, in theory, see a touch more bleeding tendency, things like easier bruising, nosebleeds, or bleeding gums.

I'll be honest though, the evidence here is thin. It rests mainly on a single case report where the person was also taking warfarin and aspirin, which do far more heavy lifting on bleeding than fish oil or diosmin. Neither product needs activating by the body, so the direction is simply additive, not flipped. For most folks this combo is low risk, but if you take a blood thinner, have surgery coming up, or notice unusual bleeding, check with your pharmacist or doctor first.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Fish Oil Triglycerides page

“Nearly everything on this page points at one danger for anyone receiving Fish Oil Triglycerides (Omegaven): bleeding. Omega-3 fats can slow clotting somewhat on their own, and 202 of the interacting supplements and herbs add their own blood-thinning or antiplatelet effects on top of that, so combining them casually is a real mistake.”
