Is it ok to take allergy medications before surgery?

March 20, 2015
Asked By:kg34 in Tulsa, OK

I am having breast augmentation surgery 3/26/15. I am currently battling springtime allergies here in Oklahoma and am miserable if I do not take anything. I had my pre op today and told my doctor I have been taking Flonase and Allegra for the last few days. He indicated that it was ok. I know I am not suppose to take any anti-inflammatory medications and Flonase has a steroid in it. I would appreciate any other knowledge as I do not want any complications during or post op. Thank you.
