Avoid flaxseed oil if you are:

• Allergic: Avoid using flaxseed products if you have a known allergy to it or its ingredients. Ask your pharmacist or healthcare provider for a complete list of the ingredients if you're unsure.
• Pregnant: It may have adverse effects in pregnancy, including an increased risk for premature birth.
• A child: There has not been enough evidence on the safety of flaxseed oil when taken by children, although it may be safe for children to consume small amounts of flaxseed.
• Breastfeeding: There isn’t enough reliable information about the safety of flaxseed oil for people who are breastfeeding.
• Experiencing a bleeding disorder: There is some debate about whether flaxseed oil may increase the risk of bleeding. If you have a bleeding disorder, talk to your healthcare provider before using flaxseed oil in food, in supplement form, or as a topical treatment.
• Going in for surgery: Flaxseed oil should be stopped before surgery to prevent bleeding.

Ask your healthcare provider if a flaxseed oil supplement is right for you.
