Frequently asked questions

How many capsules a day?

Two capsules a day with food or drink, for adults and children aged 5 and over.

How long does the pack last?

At two capsules a day, 120 capsules last 60 days.

What does 'double strength' mean?

Efamol says it is the same formula as the original Efalex capsules, now twice as strong per capsule, so fewer capsules are needed.

Can I take it if I am on blood thinners?

Speak to your doctor or pharmacist first, because fish oils may not suit people taking anticoagulant medicines.
