Sore throat before liposuction. Is Chloraspetic safe to take 1 week before surgery?

Yes, it is safe to use chloraseptic prior to liposuction. The main concern with many over the counter preparations is their interference with anesthesia and the risk of bleeding. Whenever in doubt, it is always prudent to call your surgeon's office and discuss the use of any over the counter medications with the nurse prior to surgery.If you are using chloraseptic due to a recent cold or flu illness, please contact your surgeon's office as it may be necessary to delay elective surgery until you are symptom free especially if you have a productive cough or fever. You always want to be in optimal health prior to any elective surgical procedure. Good luck!

You'll want to be sure that you aren't having a strep throat or other viral illness.  If you don't feel well, or feel feverish, you'll definitely want to let your surgeon know asap.Undergoing an elective surgical procedure while you have an ongoing distant infection increases your risk of infection too high to safely conduct the operation.
