NO - will NOT aggrevate

Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

No concern
The drugs are stopped before most surgeries – 3 to0 day, depending on the bleeding potential during surgery.
The drugs prevent clotting by inhibiting platelet enzymes – the effect is permanent and lasts the life of the affected platelets... the effect is llong...

Good luck
God bless you
