Hi, everyone! Quick question. My surgery is on Friday, and when I was there for my pre-op, they told me not to take Advil the week of the surgery, and I think they told me one more thing about medications in the days leading up to surgery, but I can't remember it and it's not in my pre-op booklet. I just want to make sure that it's okay for me to take a Tylenol Ultra right now--I have a blinding migraine.

Anybody know?

I'm not sure how to answer your question. I do believe that Tylenol would be ok.
I had surgery last year and I had to be off advil and nsaids because of its blood thinning properties.
I was on tylenol #3 right up until surgery

call your surgeons office and ask the secretary if you can take anything for a headache. They will be able to answer your questions
