Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I Have Been Directed To Stop Taking Clopidogrel And Aspirin
I have been directed to stop taking Clopidogrel and Aspirin 7 days prior to surgery.
I also take Isosorbide, Metoprolol Tartrate, Losartan, Livalo, Montelukast, Ranexa, Amlopipine, Loratadine & vitamin D. The Dr. is aware of these and said that is fine to continue taking those. In your opinion, are any of these last drugs/vitamins dangerous as blood thinners prior to surgery?
