I've done cheap and expensive (high EPA) and find no difference. I've also dosed high and low and find I'm fine to use the recommended dosing on an extra strength Walmart brand. That being said, I'm not a BP diagnosis. I believe the research Dr. Stoll conducted targeted BP specifically and the recommendation for high EPA is accomplished by alot of softgels or an expensive EPA formulation. You might try the cheap and lower dosing and see what happens?
The only contraindications on meds that I've found is if you are on an anticoag med (blood thinners) or high dose aspirin. This is somewhat debated, the blood thinning properties of using fish oil - but if you do take those meds, it's best to check with your doctor.
I think fish oil does make a difference, to the good, for me --- it's one of the few (of the many) suppliments I've tried that really did seem to make a difference and I've stuck with.
Good Luck.
