Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I just found out that I need to have a tonsillectomy tomorrow morning. I took 10 mg of IR adderall today (before I knew I was having the surgery). Will the adderall A) Thin my blood at all? B) Cause complications with anesthesia during the surgery tomorrow? It was taken over 16 hours before the surgery is scheduled. Thank you.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* As the consumption of adderall is being about 16 hours prior to surgery, major excretion of its components must have taken place by that period and you will not face additional complications with anesthesia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
