A member asked:
Why do i have to stop taking l-lysine, vitd3, and ultra mag a week before my surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check with provider: Often the surgeon recommendation is to stop supplements before a surgery in order to reduce any adverse events. Sometimes there is a worry about drug to supplement interactions. If you feel you need these during surgery then ask you provider for the specific reason not to take them and you might work out a solution
