Is Bupropion safe for me to take before surgery?

November 22, 2016
Asked By:Boobs A Coming_Boobs A Here in Honolulu, HI

I'm scheduled for BA on 12/23/16. I was prescribed Bupropion today (11/22/16) to assist in my quiting of cigarettes, as my PS said I needed to be smoke free for 1 month. Can I take the Bupropion and still do my BA on 12/23/16? (P.S. My PCP did not recommend me taking Chantix. Therefore she prescribed Bupropion.)
