rhinoplasty
Are there any medicines I should not take before surgery?

Yes. Do not take aspirin for two weeks before surgery. It may increase the risk of bleeding. Remember, many over-the-counter medicines contain aspirin. So, check the label carefully. Other medicines that may increase your risk of bleeding include vitamin E and antihistamines. Many cold remedies contain antihistamines.
The use of cocaine significantly increases the risks of surgery and its use should be discontinued before surgery. Your surgeon must be informed if you use cocaine or have used it is the past.
