Are there any medicines I should not take before surgery?

Yes. Do not take aspirin for two weeks before surgery. It may increase the risk of bleeding. Remember, many over the counter medicines contain aspirin. So check the label carefully. Other medicines that may increase your risk of bleeding include vitamin E and antihistamines. Many cold remedies contain antihistamines.
