A member asked:
Liver biopsy in a week, been advised stop diclofenac, why? read black licorice bad before surgery, biopsy isn't invasive, is it? should stope it
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: A biopsy is always invasive. Diclofenac has a weak antiplatelet effect so it may increase bleeding risks. The licorice does not matter.
