General anaesthetics render a patient unconscious and facilitate a successful surgery. Still, the administration of these drugs is not without side effects.

The most common side effects that you may experience on regaining consciousness after a general anaesthetic are nausea and tiredness. Rarely, some inhaled anaesthetic drugs may cause liver damage if given repeatedly. Your doctor or anaesthetist will ask if you have had a general anaesthetic within the last 3 months and whether you have had adverse reactions to an anaesthetic. Certain other drugs, such as those used to treat high blood pressure, may interact with anaesthetics. Inform your anaesthetist about any drugs that you have been taking, whether prescription, over-the-counter, or recreational.
