Yes. If you are on blood-thinners (e.g. warfarin), fish oil can have an additive effect on anticoagulation. In anyone under medical supervision for anything having to do with blood clotting, a retitration of medication dosing is required. Your doctor may resist this entirely, due to the extra work involved, but fish oil is not itself a risk factor for excess bleeding.
