Rhinoplasty surgeons- Can I take these acne medications before my operation?

dave.j
I have been prescribed tetrysal (tetracycline antibiotic) and duac gel (benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin, lincosamide antibiotic) for my acne. I'm having rhinoplasty in approximately 2/3 weeks. Am I ok to take these right up to the week of my surgery? Will it conflict with the anaesthesia? I heard that you are not supposed to take vitamins 2 weeks pre op for that reason. My surgeon is away at the moment so I can't ask him, any advice would be much appreciated, thank you
