A member asked:
I'm having glaucoma surgery this thurs. the 18th and i have not stopped taking simvistatin. is it considered a blood thinner?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a blood thinner: Simvistatin does not affect blood clotting. Most glaucoma surgery is practically bloodless, so you can continue taking this medication even through the day of surgery.
