The clinical trial evidence suggests that if such an increased bleeding risk exists, the risk is very small and not of clinical significance. For example, 6.8 g of EPA\/DHA daily for 6 months showed no adverse effects. However, it is reasonable to monitor patients treated with fish oils and anticoagulants for international normalised ratio (INR) as well as potential adverse bleeding experiences.83,84\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBleeding disorders\u003c\/strong\u003e: Due to the anticoagulant properties of fish oils, there have been safety concerns in regards to the risk of increased bleeding tendency and postoperative bleeding. Although this theoretical possibility is not reflected functionally in human studies, it would still warrant caution in situations which carry a high risk of bleeding such as haemorrhagic stroke and postoperative events. To minimise the risk of exacerbation of these bleeding events it is recommended to discontinue use of fish oils during acute bleeding episodes, such as during and immediately after a haemorrhagic stroke, or in patients who are at high risk for haemorrhagic stroke.85,86\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurgery\u003c\/strong\u003e: Due to the anticoagulant properties of fish oils, there have been safety concerns in regards to the risk of increased bleeding tendency and postoperative bleeding.

To minimise the risk of exacerbation of these bleeding events it is recommended to discontinue use of fish oils 4-7 days before elective procedures which have a high risk for bleeding complications. However, consider fish oil supplementation postoperatively if there are no bleeding complications, given that supplementation may reduce the risk of thrombotic and cardiovascular events which could occur following major surgery.87,88\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow Level Cautions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNone of note.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePregnancy and Breastfeeding\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePregnancy and Breastfeeding: Metagenics SPM Active\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafe to use in pregnancy and breastfeeding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eStorage\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage: Metagenics SPM Active\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore below 30°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eReferences\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReferences: Metagenics SPM Active\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e82 Fish Oil.

Using a refined, patent pending fractionation process, specific SPM fractions are standardised for consistent dosing and therapeutic patient outcomes. The special fraction and ratio is isolated, concentrated and measured for bioactivity to verify the active SPMs 17-HDHA and 18-HEPE.

The clinical trial evidence suggests that if such an increased bleeding risk exists, the risk is very small and not of clinical significance. For example, 6.8 g of EPA\/DHA daily for 6 months showed no adverse effects. However, it is reasonable to monitor patients treated with fish oils and anticoagulants for international normalised ratio (INR) as well as potential adverse bleeding experiences.83,84\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBleeding disorders\u003c\/strong\u003e: Due to the anticoagulant properties of fish oils, there have been safety concerns in regards to the risk of increased bleeding tendency and postoperative bleeding. Although this theoretical possibility is not reflected functionally in human studies, it would still warrant caution in situations which carry a high risk of bleeding such as haemorrhagic stroke and postoperative events. To minimise the risk of exacerbation of these bleeding events it is recommended to discontinue use of fish oils during acute bleeding episodes, such as during and immediately after a haemorrhagic stroke, or in patients who are at high risk for haemorrhagic stroke.85,86\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurgery\u003c\/strong\u003e: Due to the anticoagulant properties of fish oils, there have been safety concerns in regards to the risk of increased bleeding tendency and postoperative bleeding. Although this theoretical possibility is not reflected functionally in human studies, it would still warrant caution in situations which carry a high risk of bleeding such as haemorrhagic stroke and postoperative events. To minimise the risk of exacerbation of these bleeding events it is recommended to discontinue use of fish oils 4-7 days before elective procedures which have a high risk for bleeding complications. However, consider fish oil supplementation postoperatively if there are no bleeding complications, given that supplementation may reduce the risk of thrombotic and cardiovascular events which could occur following major surgery.87,88\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow Level Cautions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNone of note.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePregnancy and Breastfeeding\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePregnancy and Breastfeeding: Metagenics SPM Active\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafe to use in pregnancy and breastfeeding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eStorage\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage: Metagenics SPM Active\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore below 30°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eReferences\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReferences: Metagenics SPM Active\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e82 Fish Oil.
