According to the 2008 PDR: Absorption of Strattera may be delayed with co-administration of any fatty-rich diet, however the extent of absorption should be the same. So in other words, since Strattera's method of action isn't really based on how quickly it absorbs (remember, it takes about 2 weeks to have an effect), it should still work the same. Here's a better questions though: who told you to put him on omega-3 supplements? While certain fatty acids (omega 3 and omega 6) have been shown to be necessary for creation of additional synaptic connections in the brain, the evidence that taking supplements to increase their activity is limited to say the least. Since a child's brain is continually creating new synapses (and destroying ones deemed inappropriate), I'd be very careful with any supplements. Try a healthy diet instead with fish like salmon.

Iron is more readily absorbed in an acidic environment (gastric juices) but since omeprazole can decrease the gastric acid produced, it is good to take vitamin C (ascorbic acid) when taking an iron supplement (both of which should be if advised by your physician) or one can simply take a vitamin C supplement if taking omeprazole when no iron supplement is needed (as would be in the case of iron deficiency anemia which is determined by a blood test).
