Control of salicylate intolerance with fish oils
Control of salicylate intolerance with fish oils
We report three patients with disabling salicylate-induced intolerance who experienced abrogation of symptoms following dietary supplementation with ?-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). All three patients experienced severe urticaria, asthma requiring systemic steroid therapy and anaphylactic reactions. After dietary supplementation with 10?g daily of fish oils rich in ?-3 PUFAs for 6-8?weeks all three experienced complete or virtually complete resolution of symptoms allowing discontinuation of systemic corticosteroid therapy. Symptoms relapsed after dose reduction. Fish oil appears a safe and effective treatment for this difficult and often serious condition.

Abstract
We report three patients with disabling salicylate-induced intolerance who experienced abrogation of symptoms following dietary supplementation with ?-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). All three patients experienced severe urticaria, asthma requiring systemic steroid therapy and anaphylactic reactions. After dietary supplementation with 10?g daily of fish oils rich in ?-3 PUFAs for 6-8?weeks all three experienced complete or virtually complete resolution of symptoms allowing discontinuation of systemic corticosteroid therapy. Symptoms relapsed after dose reduction. Fish oil appears a safe and effective treatment for this difficult and often serious condition.
