Hysterectomy soon. just started ceftin (cefuroxime) for 2 weeks then on to keflex for 30 days for chronic bladder infection. ok to keep taking thru surgery?

Antibiotics ; surger: You can continue taking your medication up until your surgery. During the procedure you will probably get IV antibiotics so don't worry about the dose for the day of surgery or during your hospitalization. Good luck.
