Is it safe to take Airborne tablets before surgery?

jaytothegeeNov 14, 2013
I have been taking airborne 3x a day and pre-op nurse said it was okay to take right up until surgery day. However, I just read a bunch of literature about stopping 14 days before surgery.

You probably just injured it on the outside and if that is the case, it's best to allow it to heal and not bother it until the area improves. Keep the area clean and try not touching it over the next week. If enough time passes and the area does not improve and seems to be getting worse, you can...
