sweeteelme 37 Posted July 15, 2012 How do you take your pre-op medicine post-op? Do you crush them and mix in Water? What about the extended release capsules or tablets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmooney364 30 Posted July 15, 2012 Basically you have to ask your pcp or surgeon. Most of the time they say to crush them and don't usually tell you to mix them, but Water or milk might be best. I crush mine and just put them in my mouth and swallow with water. They are going to be gross no matter what. You can get some in a liquid form. May have to check with the pharmacist which one and then get new rx from pcp. I was taken off some of mine right after surgery which is a big blessing. Good luck with your surgery.

ppatterson 24 Posted July 15, 2012 I took my pills with me to pre op appointment with surgeon and had him tell me if any were a concern. All of mine I was able to take post op without altering them. I left the hospital off my blood pressure meds and my blood pressure is great. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
