Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Please, continue taking the medications exactly as prescribed. There is no contraindication to taking this drug up to the day of your surgery. Stopping could rather make surgery more difficult than it should be. It is a very safe medication and would not affect surgery.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be.
