Can I take Cod liver oil and Paracetamol together?

Why this happens

Cod liver oil is a source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A and D, while paracetamol is a painkiller and fever reducer. They are processed by the body using different pathways and do not interfere with how the other works.

What you should do

You can take cod liver oil and paracetamol at the same time. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging for both products. If you have any pre-existing liver or kidney conditions, it is always best to consult your pharmacist or GP before starting new supplements or medications.
