Are there any medications to avoid prior to treatment?
It is recommended that for ten days prior to treatment, you avoid any medications that might thin your blood and make you more likely to bleed. This includes aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents such as Motrin (Ibuprofen) and Naprosyn. If you are on blood thinners such as Coumadin or Heparin, you must notify us immediately. Medications used to treat such common conditions as high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, allergies, heart disease, high cholesterol, thyroid problems, oral contraceptives, and antibiotics should not pose a problem. If you have a question about a particular medication, ask us!
