Substances to avoid prior to Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Substances to avoid prior to Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

I have a deviated septum and my nose bone is crooked so I'm getting a surgery to straight the septum, and my nose is being rebroken to straighten it.

In my surgery packet they list a bunch of different substances to avoid 2 weeks prior to surgery to avoid excess bleeding. Among these are ginseng, advil, ext.

I was wondering if anyone knowns whether it would be a wise idea to stop taking my Adderall (adderrall) for 2 weeks as well and if this would have any effect on how much I would bleed post surgery

hi.post surgery bleeding is not related with adderall (adderrall) but if you are on this drug since long better not to stop it abruptly as it can make you uncomfortable.Do inform the doctor about intake of adderall (adderrall).

Bhups1 is right, Adderall (adderrall) would not have an affect on post surgical bleeding, and it's a medication that you need to take on a regular basis, according to your doctor's instructions.  If you stop, you can suffer withdrawl (withdrawal) symptoms
