Can I take doxycycline and spironolactone now and during surgery?

November 3, 2018
Asked By:PEAGS5 in Colorado Springs, CO

So my breast lift & aug. surgery is this Tues. I’m getting excited! BUT, my question, I went to my dermatologist this past Friday because I’ve been having terrible cystic breakouts this month. She gave me a month of doxycycline to clear it up & Spironolactone (25mg) since I have PCOS & my Metformin isn’t working. I’m already stopping the Met. 48 hrs before but can I go ahead and start the doxy & spiro? My surgeon's office is closed so I can't ask.
