Hi,
Fish oil capsules mostly have vit A and therefore are unlikely to be causing the symptoms your husband has at present. Note likely, Hr has a urinary tract infection added to his prostate trouble, and I suggest he gas a urine analysis done and a urine culture, and a broad spectrum antibiotic like ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily till the reports are ready, along with drugs like Flomax and. Citrate syrup to reduce discomfort.
