    It is possible to have a severe allergic reaction to or other serious side effects from cod liver oil. Consult with your doctor before taking cod liver oil to prevent any complications from medical conditions, such as high blood pressure; high cholesterol; kidney disease; diabetes; liver disease; pregnancy or possible pregnancy; breastfeeding; stomach problems; or allergy to cod liver oil, fish, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives. Limit your alcohol intake on cod liver oil.
