Medications to Avoid Before Procedures
[Pages:2]Medications to Avoid Before Procedures
Any injection, including Botox?, dermal fillers and local anesthetics, can cause significant bruising if you are on blood thinners. Surgery can cause additional bruising, which will slow your healing and promote swelling.
Do NOT take any of the following for two weeks prior to your injection and/or surgery:
? Aspirin and aspirin-containing medications (Tylenol is acceptable; see list of "Medications Containing Aspirin" below.)
? Ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory medications (examples of NSAIDs below) ? Herbal supplements and vitamins that thin the blood (examples below)
If you are on a blood thinner: Please let Dr. Cockerham know if you are on a potent blood thinner like Coumadin (warfarin) or Plavix; a special medical clearance will be required to stop these medications three days prior to injection or surgery.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) include:
Advil
Ibuprofen
Alleve
Mediprin
Bextra Motrin
Celebrex
Naproxin Nuprin Vioxx
Herbal supplements and vitamins that thin the blood:
Airborne Red Clover Vitamin C (>40 IU) Echinacea Omega 3 supplements) Garlic supplements Ginseng
Vitamin E (>40 IU) Fish oil (especially Flax Seed Gingko Biloba
Since herbal supplements and teas are not regulated, it is best to stop all supplements for the best outcome.
DO TAKE
If you have pain, it is okay to take tylenol or tylenol containing cold products. Medical-grade Arnica Montana (e.g., Anica Forte) 48 hours before and for two days after injections and/or surgery.
