if its not ok, how long in advance I have to stop taking them? I think the epidural anesthesia will be performed instead of general.
Answer: It should be okay to take allergy medications prior to liposuction but check with your surgeon. I personally would have no problem with you taking the medications listed. This decision however rests in the hands of your surgeon and anesthesiologist.

Answer: Medications Before Liposuction I am not sure why you'd need epidural anesthesia, regardless, there is no reason you cant take antihistamines. But I suggest speaking to your physician. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Nothing By Mouth Before Surgery Despite having an epidural, you will still need to be NPO (nothing per oral) for several hours before this procedure. However, if you are referring to the days and many hours before the operation is scheduled, then I am not aware of any restrictions for such medication. I think that would be fine.

Answer: Medications before surgery Typically you will want to check with your PS and the Anesthesia provider regarding this. I typically inform my patients that Zyrtec, Allegra, or Benadryl are ok. But not to eat or drink anything 8 hours prior to your scheduled procedure. Thank you for your question.

Answer: Is it OK to take allergy meds such as Allegra, Benadryl, Sudafed, and also Zantac before lipo surge Thanks for using RealSelf. You need to ask your chosen surgeon their opinions. Ours do not matter in anyway. We are NOT operating upon you.....
