Too Much Meds

[Missytee 138]

Has anyone else doctor given them all these meds

Wow, that's some list. I guess your surgeon has a reason for each, I had the Hibiclens beforehand, its just soap, not really a drug. They gave me some stuff just prior to surgery so I may have had something on there and didn't realize it. I only got Tylenol with codeine for pain, no Oxy, but that was plenty. And the Lovenox shots for two weeks, that was fun. And there was a anti-nausea pill with a long name starting with an O that I wound up not needing.

The only thing that seems abnormal is the mouth wash and the 4 days of using the antibacterial soap. I used used it the night before and day of surgery.

I had a PPI, anti-nausea, oxy, tylenol w/codine,

I would rather have a cautious Dr than one that wasn't. Overall is pretty normal but everyone doesn't get all those. Like I filled all my scripts, but I didn't use them all. I was never really nausous so I never used that, and I stopped taking pain meds when I got home so I could drive. I stil have those pain meds on the shelf. The PPI don't skip it.

Yup I had all of those except the mouthwash too. And I had an antinausea patch for behind my ear too.

The enmend is an amazing anti nausea! So much better than zofran (generic name for zofran is ondansetron). It can be really pricey though.

Oh wow I didn't know any of this except the body wash - guess I'll find out at my last appt on the 12th....

Yes, I didn’t get the prescriptions until my last appointment

Okay, thanks!

Yes, I guess that’s one way of looking at it

[CrissCriss 97]

I didn't get a list at all.

I had to use dial soap the night before and morning of. Take 1 ppi, night before and morning of. Post op pain meds, if needed (they weren't) That's it! I was relieved.

When is your surgery ?

[Sosewsue61 3,185]

Only a scrip for oxy, and wipes for bathing with after my shower the night before, and then wipes morning of surgery. I asked about a PPI and he said I won't need it? And will give anti-nausea if needed...

Oh okay.....seems like all the doctors are different.
