FAQ About Medications & Supplements To Avoid
It is often best not to ingest any brand of aspirin, or any of the following aspirin containing, MAO inhibiting and seratonin drugs for 14 days prior to surgery and 14 days after surgery. Although some medications may be deemed safe for your consumption by your surgeon and anesthesiologist only (i.e. Prozac, Zoloft, etc.). Just let them know. Disclose EVERY medication, oil, supplement, suspension, etc. -- your life depends upon it. Aspirin and aspirin-containing products, as well as some supplements and "nutraceuticals" may inhibit blood clotting and cause difficulties during and after surgery. If you need an aspirin-free fever reducer and pain reliever, it is often suggested to take Tylenol, but be sure to ask your surgeon. Also, if you smoke, you shouldn't smoke at least 2 weeks prior and at least 2 weeks after your surgery date. Smoking significantly reduces the quality of blood circulation and impedes vascularization. This means difficulty in bringing much needed oxygen to your tissues for proper healing.
