Are there any medications that I should avoid before having a Non-Traumatic Discectomy at the Back Institute?
Patients should avoid any type of blood thinning medication whether over the counter or prescribed. If a patient is taking a prescribed medication, such as Coumadin, please consult your doctor before discontinuing its use as a medication prior to surgery. If you are taking any other medications, please inform us at the time you schedule your procedure so we can instruct you on a case by case basis whether to continue them or not.
