Regular Member DoctorWho Posted September 11, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted September 11, 2011 I take fish oil, multivitamin (with B and E), grapeseed extract and drink green tea on a daily basis, which according to my research are blood thinners. when does one stop taking these supplements prior to HT (4 weeks, 2 weeks, or 7 days). I just want to know what the general consensus on this one? thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Glenn Charles Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 My instructions to patients is to stop all supplements that may have blood thinning effects 1 week prior to surgery. I also can provide them with a detailed list of which meds and supplements that need to be discontinued. In reality in most cases the surgery could still be performed successfully even if the patient did not stop taking them.
