Suggest Alternative Medication For Suboxone
My daughter is currently taking Suboxone and is in need of surgery for endometriosis. She was told by the anethesialogist that she must stop the Suboxone 1 week before surgery. What alternatives does she have that she can take to substitute for Suboxone. Please help....Thanks, Melissa

Why are you taking these medicines.? Please mention it only than I can say you need the alternative medicine. Otherwise you can safely stop these medicines before surgery. Finally end with 'Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help". For Follow up questions, end with "If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health".
