- Do I take my regular medicines before surgery?
Check with your own doctor, but the answer is usually "yes." Most recommend that you take your regular medicine such as those to control blood pressure, at your usual time. If you use a small sip of water to swallow the pill there is usually no problem. Some medications not to miss around the time of surgery include those for blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, psychiatric problems, birth control pills, etc Let your doctors know what medicine you take so they can advise you. If you have a general anesthetic, it is important that you tell the anesthesiologist about the medicines you use regularly. Also mention that you have taken it with a sip of water the morning of surgery. If you use insulin, do not take it the morning of surgery. If you take blood thinners, such as coumadin, you must stop taking them for several days before surgery. You should discuss this with the doctor who prescribes them for you.
