Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Consult your surgeon: tell hin/her about the ASA intake. You will most likely have to stop @ least 10 days before surgery usually, & the surgeon will tell you his/her policy. Some surgeons as well as myself are not worried about continuing to take it up to the day of surgery.
