I am getting a rhinoplasty/septoplasty/turbinectomy in exactly 4 weeks, on June 25th. I take Allegra D 12 hour every morning to control my horrendous seasonal allergies. Will the pseudoephedrine interefere with the anesthesia? Do I need to stop taking this prior to surgery and how long before? Would it be okay to take Allegra, without the pseudoephedrine, up until the day of surgery? I'm also afraid that if I do not take it, I will be sneeezing and hurting myself the day of surgery.
