Does fish oil interefere with other meds

My kids used to take mineral oil for bowel troubles. I later learned that I should have been giving the mineral oil at a different time of day than their other meds since the oil can prevent absorption of certain nutrients and medicines. Do you know whether that's also true of fish oil? Can I assume that oil is oil, regardless of whether it's mineral oil or fish oil, and that I ought to be giving it at a different time of day than the kids' other meds?
