Have RA And Osteoarthritis. Should I Take Omega Q Plus With Reservatrol?

I have just received my order for Omega Q Plus with Reservatrol. In reading materials that came with it I noticed it is a blood thinner. I have Crohn s disease and that medication is an aspirin derivative ( Pentasa ). Did not consult with my gastroenterologist before ordering. Should I speak with him before commencing this med? I also have some RA and osteoarthritis; scheduled for immune system treatment for the RA in about 10 days. Have I messed up. The medicine I ordered sounded so promising but I don t wish to have my blood too thin. Your suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks, Dorothy Gold

Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a stilbenoid, a type of natural phenol, and a phytoalexin produced naturally by several plants when under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi.The effects of resveratrol are currently a topic of numerous animal and human studies. Its effects on the lifespan of many model organisms remain controversial.
These are experimental drugs with nothing proven in large scale trials.
Blood thinning effects of both these medications are not uniform among the human studies.I advised you not to start the medication especially before a major treatment planned ,you do not know what its effects will be positive or negative.
