A member asked:
Gallbladder removal scheduled 7 days from now. ok to continue taking melatonin, benadryl, and dexilant (dexlansoprazole)? should i stop any?

Speak to doctor: Your surgeon and anesthesiologist must know medications you are taking much before your surgery, especially large doses of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) . Most of the time usual medications except blood thinners are allowed up to the date of surgery.
