Arnica and Bromelain dosage and protocol. When should I take them? How many times and at what dosage?

Dear Kanora,     This is something you will need to clarify with your plastic surgeon.  It is common to start using Arnika two days prior to your procedure and taking one pill twice a day.  Every surgeon has their own protocol when taking pre-operative supplements and it is important for your safety to follow their instructions. 

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question every surgeons have differents protocols, its recommended if you ask in personal your plastic surgeon about this theme.

Key factors in the healing of any wound are nutrition and vitamin supplements.  There are specially formulated vitamins that are designed to optimize your healing that we use from Vitamedica.  In addition, we use Arnica and Bromelain to reduce the swelling and bruising.  Before and after surgery, nutrition is a key component that is overlooked by almost every patient and surgeon.  After the operation, your calorie and protein requirements are increased.  We design a nutritional regimen for each patient which is provided to them during the preoperative teaching.  In order to meet the calorie and protein requirements after surgery, the patients typically supplement using protein shakes.  Calorie and protein intake are recorded on a log that we provide and review at the postoperative visits.  The combination of homeopathic medicines, vitamins supplementation, and adequate calorie and protein intake are critical to the wound healing process.  Prior to surgery, we ask the patients to stop all of their own supplements as some can cause problems with bleeding during and after surgery.
