Pre-Treatment Instructions:
- Do Not Take ASPIRIN (Anacin, Bufferin, or Baby Aspirin), IBUPROFEN (Advil, Motrin, or Nuprin), NAPROXEN (Aleve) or any other Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) similar to these medications, for TEN (10) days before your procedure.
- Do not take Vitamin E or Fish Oil. These substances impair platelet function in the normal clotting process and thus promote bleeding and bruising. It is permissible to take acetaminophen (Tylenol or Anacin-3).
