Safety advice for Novoret

Warnings and precautions

A supplement supports a normal diet; it does not prevent or treat infection. Zinc on an empty stomach commonly causes nausea — take it with food. Very high doses of vitamin A over a long period can be harmful, particularly in pregnancy. Do not take several products containing the same nutrient at once; the totals add up. Tell your doctor if you take a blood thinner — high doses of omega-3 can add to its effect. Check the source if you have a fish or shellfish allergy.

Do not take Novoret if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for anyone with a known allergy to fish, shellfish or any ingredient in the pack.

Interactions with other medicines

Zinc and other minerals reduce the absorption of some antibiotics — separate them by a few hours. Tell your doctor if you take a blood thinner, as high-dose vitamin E can add to its effect. May add to the effect of blood thinners and antiplatelet medicines.

How to store Novoret

Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.

Expert advice for Novoret

Take it with food to reduce nausea. A varied diet remains the best source of these nutrients. Taking it with a meal, or keeping the capsules in the fridge, reduces fishy burps. Continue your diet and exercise alongside it.
