I'm taking Claritin-D
Sweet,
My allergies are really acting up right now! In fact, I'm kind of worried that without my allergy meds, I'll be coughing and sneezing right after my surgery -argh! I wonder if there's something they can give me in the hospital to help with that before I can take things orally.
Anyway, back to your question - I told my Dr. I was taking Claritin-D and Flonase at my pre-op, and he didn't tell me to stop taking them. I probably ought to call and find out for sure how long I can take them, since I certainly wouldn't want my surgery cancelled due to allergy medication, but right now I was planning on taking them for the last time on Sunday morning.
If I call, I'll let you know what he says!
God Bless - Wendy

Allergies... I Have A Question
Hi Sweet,
I was told I could continue taking Benadryl. I take it just about every night to help me get a better nights sleep. As far as 24/7 you may want to be sure you don't take it right before surgery as the side effect of sleepiness may be worse. Plus I don't think they allow anything after midnight anyway. It's always best to ask dr thought since each is different.
