 Sandra, Thanks for your post. Fish oil (omega fatty acids) can help with elevations in lipids. The product is available as an over-the-counter supplement mixture and a FDA-approved purified omega-3 fatty acid (Omacor). We've had pretty good results with both, though the later requires fewer pills and doesn't cause the fishy aftertaste. There aren't any significant interactions between the omega fatty acids and your HIV medications that I'm aware of. As for vitamins, I generally don't endorse mega-supplementation, but a simple one-a-day multivitamin should suffice (and won't interact with your meds). Best of health to you. BY | ||||||||
