Continue omega-3 supplementation for cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory benefits. Take with meals that contain some dietary fat to optimize absorption. No dose adjustment is typically required, but inform your provider of all supplements being taken.
Why this interaction occurs
Omega-3 fatty acid supplements (EPA/DHA) are themselves lipid-based and generally self-absorbing; however, their optimal incorporation into chylomicrons is supported by concurrent dietary fat intake. Severe fat restriction from Wegovy-induced appetite suppression may modestly reduce bioavailability, though this is unlikely to be clinically significant at standard supplement doses.
