Summary
Tenecteplase causes fibrinolysis and carries a major bleeding risk. Omega-3 fatty acids have mild antiplatelet effects that could theoretically add slightly to this risk, but a meaningful clinical effect is unlikely.
What this interaction means in plain words
Omega and Tenecteplase have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Why it happens
Additive pharmacodynamic effect of mild omega-3 antiplatelet activity and plasminogen activator-driven fibrinolysis.
What to do
No routine change is needed; follow standard bleeding surveillance after thrombolysis. Hold omega-3 supplements during the acute episode.

- Is there anything I should notice while taking both?
