hi is just chondroitin or chondroitin and glucosamine and was this for osteoarthritis? this could be ok garlic would be ok a part from the fact it’s a blood thinner and it would depend on how long it works found you this bit of info. garlic can thin the blood (reduce the ability of blood to clot) in a manner similar to aspirin. this effect may be a problem during or after surgery. use garlic with caution if you are planning to have surgery or dental work or if you have a bleeding disorder. but cant find how long the effects work. the ibuprofin could be your down full as you know its anti-inflammatory and i think your find that there is a 48 hour window for it to clear your system. this is why i said it would be best to get in touch with your surgeon as its 30 hours he may let it go. don’t forget its your health and life your putting on the line. good luck
should i cancel surgery if i took 400mg ibuprofen 30 hours before and garlic and chondroitin 48 hours prior to surgery? . on 12/17 i am to have arthroscopic shoulder surgery. i just now (12/16) read over the pre-surgery instructions. i take garlic and chondroitin on a daily basis. i took both of them on evening of 12/14. i also took 400mg of ibuprofen on evening of 12/15. do i need to cancel surgery?
