I am having severe nausea from the oxycodein prescribed to me so I instead took Ibuprophen once and I feel a lot better. Pharmacist said it was better than the Tylenol. Should I stop taking the ibuprofen since I'm reading that Tylenol is better for post-op?

Answer: What would happen if I take Ibuprofen after surgery Thank you for your question. I would certainly stop with your oxycodone if its giving you that degree of side effect. If you were in significant pain I would recommend speaking to your plastic surgeon to change your prescription pain medication, but if you are tolerating over the counter medications, and I recommend you using what works best for you. I typically tell patients to take the medication that works best for them for muscle soreness.

Answer: What would happen if I take Ibuprofen after surgery? Ibuprofen is a blood thinner, similar to aspirin. I recommend my patients do not take any blood thinners 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after surgery. Talk with your surgeon before taking anything else. ac
