This question is best answered by your surgeon as opinions may vary.  In addition to pain medication, your surgeon needs to be aware of any other medications you are currently taking, even those not related to the surgery.

This is something you should discuss with your surgeon. for my patients it is on the list of things to avoid for 2 weeks. Tylenol Cold would be better. Good luck.

It’s best to check in with your surgeon before taking any medication.  If you were my patient I would recommend Tylenol cold.
