Hello - my question is about prescription meds and supplements. I've received written instructions to stop all anti inflamatory meds one week prior to surgery except for low dose aspirin. It also said to discontinue supplements and named several. I am not clear on whether or not I can still take some or all of my supplements, but I will call and clarify that w/ the doctor's office. What I am wondering is if anyone takes any supplements after surgery -- like COQ10, or omega 3 fish oil, sam-e, vitamins. I am concerned that I still will get to take my allergy and asthma meds up until surgery because I need them. Who usually makes the decisions on the meds? Is it the cardiologist or the surgeon?
Thanks,
