Hi Bill,

The risk for a drug nutrient interaction is minimal; however, doesn't hurt to discuss with your physician and/or pharmacist.

As an FYI - If you are not taking coenyzme Q10 along with your statin medication discuss adding coenzyme Q10 with your physician.

All the best,

Fish oil (and krill oil) are high in omega 3 fatty acids. these oils are anti inflammatory. zocor and all statins are also anti inflamatory, in fact it is the anti inflamatory effects of statins that lesson the likelyhood of a second heart attack.

statins though have some very bad side effects.

as someone who was disabled by 20 mg zocor I strongly suggest you learn the truth about statins and the cholesterol myth...before it's to late!!!!
