Posted on Thu, 6 Jul 2023

Question: I accidentally too 360 mg of fish oil right after to took 1000 mg of aspirin (Bayer extra strength 500 mg) Do I need to be concerned?

Answered by Dr. Arnold Zedd (56 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Did the patient take a toxic dose of medicine?

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and welcome Mr. Mulholland to 'Ask A Doctor'.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You are safe with both medicines.
Adults who have rheumatoid arthritis sometimes take as much as 1000mg of aspirin per dose.
The dose of fish oil should not be toxic to an adult.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.

Should I concerned about bleeding

Answered by Dr. Arnold Zedd (28 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Concern about a side effect of aspirin

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back Mr. Mulholland to Ask A Doctor. I am glad to help you again.
I do not think that you have to be considered about GI bleeding IF you took aspirin 1000 mg ONLY once.
I think it is a good idea to protect your stomach lining by taking an antacid or a glass of milk.
If you have further questions, I will be happy to help.
