Drug interactions : Never heard of first drug. Check the spelling. There are many drug interaction checkers available on the Web. Your anesthesiologist should know about all of the things you are taking, not only prescribed mess but foods also. Some surgeries can be done under local anesthetic but others under general where you are unconscious. You must discuss all these issues with your docs beforehand.
