Can you take antihistamines before and after liposuction?

June 20, 2022
Asked By:ReallyRealGal in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I have allergies and anaphylaxis to an unknown trigger. I take daily antihistamines (over the counter) to prevent anaphylaxis and treat my seasonal allergies. Is it okay to continue on the antihistamines or will it cause a problem with the procedure? (before and after?)
