I have liposuction scheduled in a week and today I developed a sore throat. Are chloraseptic lozenges and sprays safe to take? I know you're not supposed to take aspirin or alcohol 2 weeks before surgery, and I want to make sure chloraseptic doesn't contain substances that can interfere with blood clotting.
Answer: Sore throat before surgery While Cloraseptic is not a problem before your surgery, a sore throat that progresses to a real cold may be a problem. Your best plan is going to be to call your surgeon and let she or he know about what is going on, as they will likely want to monitor your progress and make sure you are symptom free at the time of surgery.

Answer: Chloraseptic Lozenges are permissible before liposuction. There's nothing wrong with taking for lozenges before liposuction but elective cosmetic surgery would probably be postponed if you have a cold or other virus.

Answer: Liposuction and chloraseptic Yes, it is safe to use chloraseptic prior to liposuction. The main concern with many over the counter preparations is their interference with anesthesia and the risk of bleeding. Whenever in doubt, it is always prudent to call your surgeon's office and discuss the use of any over the counter medications with the nurse prior to surgery.If you are using chloraseptic due to a recent cold or flu illness, please contact your surgeon's office as it may be necessary to delay elective surgery until you are symptom free especially if you have a productive cough or fever. You always want to be in optimal health prior to any elective surgical procedure. Good luck!

Answer: Shouldn't be a problem. You'll want to be sure that you aren't having a strep throat or other viral illness. If you don't feel well, or feel feverish, you'll definitely want to let your surgeon know asap.Undergoing an elective surgical procedure while you have an ongoing distant infection increases your risk of infection too high to safely conduct the operation.
