A member asked:
I have arthroscopic surgery in 2 days and by mistake toile 600mg of advil, (ibuprofen) i am going to call monday morning and left them know will they cancel surge?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be OK: 600 mg Advil 2 days prior to arthroscopy should not be a problem. Stay away from aspirin or meds that contain aspirin. Safest for minor pain relief is tylenol (acetaminophen) for most patients assuming normal liver function.
