I'm having breast augmentation on Wednesday. Will taking mucinex affect my surgery?

June 2, 2017
Asked By:ashlee267 in Biloxi, MS

My ENT doctor put me on mucinex to help with my post nasal drip due to having bad allergies. I don't take it everyday like he wants me to and when I do take it most of the time it's just 1 pill a day instead of one every 12 hours. I just took one this morning and if I need to stop now before my procedure Wednesday then I will.
