My mother is suffering from arthritis. The doctor prescribed her some vitamins and medicines. He has provided one vitamin of fish oil named "maxepa" but I don't understand he has given the dosage of six times each day. Two each after breakfast, lunch and dinner. I just wanted to know is it okay to have it that much or is it bad? Please let me know.

It is okay to have that. It helps in increasing good cholesterol. However, if you see any sign of allergy, you should report to a doctor.
