Hello,

You have to tell your anesthetist other wise it will cause problems during surgery like resistance to anesthesia and elevation of blood pressure during surgery or arrythmia etc. You should stop the drug one week before surgery. I think I answered to your question still have queries please feel free to ask.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
